He had a no trade clause in his contract and was coveted by the Heat, Kings, and Bucks aside from the Suns.

Beal ultimately chose to waive his no trade clause to the Suns trading him for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, second-round picks, and multiple pick swaps.

Josh Hart was confused why the Wizards couldn't get at least one 1st round pick and tweeted: "They didn’t get a single 1st rd pick??"

The return for Beal is a bit low considering what the Jazz got for Rudy Gobert and the Grizzlies' offer to the Nets for Mikal Bridges.

In the end, the Wizards did make the right decision by trading Beal as they unload his $200 million contract and rebuild from scratch.
