Phoenix Suns Wiretap

The Phoenix Suns signed Rasheer Fleming to a four-year, $8.7 million contract.

The Suns drafted Fleming with the No. 31 pick in the draft after acquiring the selection from the Wolves. 

The deal is fully guaranteed for the first three years and includes a team option for the fourth year. 

Fleming averaged 14.7 points, 8.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.5 blocks in 31.3 minutes as a junior at St. Joseph's. 

Malcolm Brogdon will likely remain unsigned until after Bradley Beal's situation is resolved. Brogdon has received interest from the Los Angeles Clippers, Phoenix Suns, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, New Orleans Pelicans, Sacramento Kings and Milwaukee Bucks.

The Washington Wizards are open to sign-and-trade discussions involving Brogdon.

Brogdon appeared in 24 games this past season with the Washington Wizards, averaging 12.7 points, 3.8 rebounds and 4.1 assists in 23.5 minutes. Brogdon is 32 and has played for four different teams over the past four seasons as he played out the remainder of his two-year, $45 million extension signed with the Indiana Pacers in 2021.

The Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves are some of the team confirmed to have interest in Bradley Beal if he reached agreement with the Phoenix Suns on a buyout.

The Clippers still have $5.3 million to spend remaining from their non-taxpayer midlevel exception. The Clippers opened up potential minutes at guard with their trade of Norman Powell to the Miami Heat.

Beal is on a five-year, $251 million deal signed originally with the Washington Wizards. Beal has two years remaining on his contract totaling $110 million. Beal will have to take a significant reduction on the buyout in order for his contract to be stretched. Beal will then make some of that contract back up when he signs in free agency. 

In 53 games last season with the Suns, Beal averaged 17.0 points, 3.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists in 32.1 minutes while shooting 38.6 percent on three-pointers. Beal had a PER of 14.9 as his usage dropped from his All-Star performance with the Wizards. Beal had a True Shooting Percenage of .598.

Koby Brea and the Phoenix Suns have agreed to a Two-Way deal. Brea was the 41st overall pick in the 2025 draft out of Kentucky.

Brea averaged 11.6 points, 3.2 rebounds and 1.3 assists in 28.1 minutes as a fifth-year senior with Kentucky after beginning his collegiate career with Dayton. Brea shot 32.5 percent on three-pointers.

The Phoenix Suns fully guaranteed the final season of Nick Richards' contract at $5 million. Richards could be a rotation center for a number of teams, but the Suns need a third center given Khaman Maluach's inexperience and the injury history of Mark Williams.

Richards averaged 9.5 points and a career-best 8.6 rebounds in his 36 games with the Suns following his acquisition from the Charlotte Hornets.

Richards, 27, is represented by Javon Phillips, Jared Mucha and Jeff Schwartz. Richards will be an unrestricted free agent next offseason.

The Phoenix Suns and New York Knicks have registered interest in adding Milwaukee Bucks assistant coach Darvin Ham to their coaching staff, sources told Marc Stein of The Stein Line.

The Bucks are looking to hold onto Ham and consider a position with the Suns or Knicks a lateral move. They would only let Ham go for a head coaching opportunity.

Both Jordan Ott and Mike Brown, along with Grizzlies' coach Tuomas Iisalo, are looking for a No. 1 assistant coach.

The Knicks are also interested in adding Phil Handy to their staff. 

Phoenix Suns guard Bradly Beal has begun the process of finding his next team. Beal is anticipating a buyout coming from the Suns. Upon clearing waivers, Beal will be an unrestricted free agent.

Because he's assuming he'll be waived soon, Beal has begun exploring opportunities with other teams. It's unknown what the veteran guard's priorities will be when choosing where to play next.

In 53 games (38 starts) for Phoenix last season, Beal averaged 17 points, 3.3 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.1 steals per game. Beal shot 49.7% from the floor, including 38.6% on five three-point attempts per game.

The Phoenix Suns have waived guard Daeqwon Plowden from this two-way contract. The Suns acquired Plowden from the Atlanta Hawks as part of the seven-team trade that brought Dillon Brooks and Jalen Green to Phoenix.

Plowden saw limited NBA action with the Hawks last season. In 43 G League games with the College Park Skyhawks, Plowden averaged 15 points and 4.3 rebounds per game.

The Suns now have two open two-way spots on their roster. Each NBA team is allowed up to three two-way players. C.J. Huntley is signed to a two-way spot with Phoenix.

The Phoenix Suns are discussing possible trades for Nick Richards, Grayson Allen, and Royce O'Neale, sources told Jake Fischer of The People's Insider. 

It was also reported that the Suns held preliminary trade discussions with the Heat over Bradley Beal, though they ended without any traction. The Suns are now expected to buy out Beal. 

The Suns recently guaranteed Richards' contract for the 2025-26 season. 

Allen averaged 10.6 points and 3.0 rebounds while shooting 42.6% from three last season.

O'Neale averaged 9.1 points and 4.7 rebounds and shot 40.6% from three. 

The Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns explored a possible trade for Bradley Beal this week, sources told Jake Fischer of The People's Insider.

The discussions ultimately came to an end without any traction.

It is now expected that the Suns buy Beal out of his contract at around the $90 million range. Stretched over five years, the buyout would create a $18 million annual cap hit. 

Beal has two years remaining on his contract totaling $110 million.

Should Beal get bought out, the Heat and the Bucks would have interested in acquiring the guard.

Beal hasn't played at least 60 games since the 2020-21 season.
