Teams like the Heat, Milwaukee Bucks, Minnesota Timberwolves and Los Angeles Lakers pursued Beal, per ESPN. There reportedly were conversations with his representation over the last few weeks. As part of the buyout, the report said Beal will be giving the Suns $13.9 million of the $110 million remaining on the final two years of his pact back to the franchise.
