While they’ve largely flown under the radar, the Los Angeles Clippers have made a few potentially significant additions to their roster. In addition to re-signing Nic Batum and James Harden, the LA Clippers signed Brook Lopez to a two-year contract and also added John Collins via trade. But that’s not all.
Now, according to ESPN’s NBA expert Shams Charania, the Clippers are signing Bradley Beal to a two-year, $11 million contract. Beal has finally been bought out from his contract with the Phoenix Suns, and he quickly latched on with the Clippers.
While Beal’s new deal has the potential to span two seasons, the second year is actually a player option. This contract structure allows Beal to re-test the open market if he enjoys a big, bounce-back season as a member of the Clippers.
Considering the Clippers have reached the NBA Playoffs for three seasons in a row, if Beal can emerge as a significant contributor on a winning squad, his value just might trend in a positive direction, despite turning a year older.
Either way, now that he’s set to play on a much more affordable rate, Beal can play without nearly as much pressure as he’s dealt with really ever since signing his five-year, $251 million contract in 2022.
