The Phoenix Suns will "have discussions" surrounding Bradley Beal's long-term future with the organization during the offseason, according to ESPN's Shams Charania. The Suns already made a major change on Monday, firing head coach Mike Budenholzer after just one season with the team.

The Phoenix Suns acquired Bradley Beal in June of 2023 in the hopes that he could be the missing piece of a championship team. The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics employed the same logic when they each traded for Jrue Holiday, and it paid off for both franchises. That is where the similarities stop, though.

After the Suns’ 117-98 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, Beal decided to confront the speculation head-on. During the postgame press conference, he openly expressed his desire to remain in Phoenix despite all the noise surrounding his future.
