Rumors possibly reveal the reason why the Phoenix Suns are willing to eat five years worth of Bradley Beal's dead money.

LA is having a big offseason as it has made moves to acquire John Collins and Brook Lopez to bolster its frontcourt rotation. Beal steps in as a replacement for Norman Powell, who was traded to Miami as part of the three-team deal that sent Collins to LA.

Bradley Beal's time with the Phoenix Suns came to an abrupt but foreseeable end on Wednesday as the franchise agreed to buy out the remainder of Beal's supermax

Rumors hint that Chris Paul could potentially sign with the Los Angeles Clippers after Bradley Beal's signing with the club.

Beal will be waived by Phoenix, putting him on track to sign with one of the Suns' division rivals. More at Hoops Rumors.

The Clippers can offer Beal up to $5.3 million in salary this upcoming season. Los Angeles used most of its non-taxpayer mid-level exception to sign center Brook Lopez. The Clippers also made a trade that saw Norman Powell go to the Miami Heat and John Collins come to Los Angeles in a three-deal deal with the Utah Jazz.
