Potential Knicks trade target Bradley Beal heading to Suns

Mar 18, 2023; Washington, District of Columbia, USA; Washington Wizards guard Bradley Beal (3) looks on against the Sacramento Kings during the second half at Capital One Arena.

One potential trade target for the Knicks is off the board.

The Washington Wizards are finalizing a deal to send shooting guard Bradley Beal to the Suns in exchange for a package including Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, and multiple draft picks, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski.

Beal has lifted his no-trade clause, and when the deal is finalized, he’ll join Kevin Durant and Devin Booker as part of a big three for the Suns.

Beal averaged 23 points on a career-best 51 percent shooting during an injury-plagued 2023 campaign in which he played just 50 games.

Sources told SNY NBA Insider Ian Begley that Beal was one of the high-profile shooting guards the Knicks discussed internally during the season as a trade option this summer, but they’ll now have to look elsewhere.
