#276: Bradley Beal Finally Traded To The Phoenix Suns
Listen now
Description
In episode 276 of The Atlantic Files, Bradley Beal finally waives his no-trade clause to go to the Phoenix Suns, Chris Paul heads to Washington with a possibility of another trade or free agency, Draymond Green heads to free agency after declining his option, James Harden may be coming back to Philadelphia now, and much more! Bradley Beal is finally free of the clutches of mediocrity and on his way to create a superteam in Phoenix with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. The Wizards didn't get much in return, but they cleared up a ton of cap space for years to come. The biggest question mark will be whether or not the Suns can stay healthy enough to actually make the NBA Finals let alone win it all. Now, with Chris Paul heading to Washington, the next step is to figure out where they're going to ship him next. The leading odds seem to be either of the two teams in Los Angeles, but no one is sure if that's going to be after getting waived or in a trade. Then, there's James Harden still floating around after his unsuccessful leverage play with the Houston Rockets. So he's likely to return to Philadelphia with the hope that he still gets what he wanted in terms of more money and the freedom to play basketball as he wants. It doesn't seem like his style of basketball is going to win anything important anytime soon though. Finally, we go over all of the rumors and happenings across the league ahead of the NBA Draft and free agency. Draymond Green declined his option, Jonathan Kuminga could be traded, Fred VanVleet is seeking $30 million from a team in free agency, the Raptors still don't want to trade OG Anunoby, and more!
