Over the past two seasons, the Phoenix Suns placed their championship hopes in the hands of their superstar trio, Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal. However, despite the hype and talent, the combination repeatedly fell short of delivering a title.

The report comes as a blow to rivals like the Lakers and Warriors — two teams had been linked to Beal for a while, per NBA Insider Jake Fischer. Both franchises were reportedly monitoring Beal’s situation closely, hoping he could provide an extra scoring punch on the perimeter.

To officially sign Myles Turner, the Bucks needed to create some cap space. They did that by waiving nine-time All-Star point guard Damian Lillard and Vasilije Micić, two moves that became official Monday.

With the NBA offseason underway for most teams, this is your one-stop shop for following all the drama that makes this league so unpredictable.

NBA insider Bobby Marks says that the Phoenix Suns cannot do the same deal for Bradley Beal that the Bucks did for Damian Lillard.
