So the Heat don’t get Bradley Beal. But now they will wait and see what happens with Damian Lillard.

The Suns now only have four players under guaranteed contracts:
Kevin Durant
Devin Booker
Bradley Beal
Deandre Ayton$161.5M total for those four and not much flexibility to make more changes.
The big question: Does Ayton get moved?
I’d bring back free agents TJ Warren, Josh… https://t.co/nUnXGTp1Ox
