Bradley Beal appears to be headed for a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Suns, and there are several teams that reportedly have interest in signing the three-time All-Star.
Beal has a no-trade clause in his contract and is owed $110 million over the next two seasons. That has made it challenging for the Suns to trade the 32-year-old, which is why the two sides may settle on a buyout.
On Monday, NBA reporter Jake Fischer wrote that there are at least four teams closely monitoring the situation with Beal: the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Minnesota Timberwolves and Milwaukee Bucks.
Fischer notes that the Miami Heat were also expected to be in the mix, but they are likely no longer a suitor after they acquired Norman Powell in a trade with the Clippers on Monday.

By trading Powell, the Clippers have positioned themselves to make a run at Beal. Powell averaged 21.8 points per game last season, so Beal knows there would be plenty of room for him to step in and have an immediate impact. L.A. also made a nice addition in the Powell trade by adding veteran forward John Collins.
Beal has battled injuries in Phoenix and appeared in just 53 games in each of the past two seasons. His production was down this past year with 17.0 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds per game, but he remains a capable scorer who shot 38.6% from three-point range.
There will likely be many more teams that show interest in Beal, especially if he is willing to sign a team-friendly contract.
