The future of Bradley Beal was in the air all summer after another disappointing season with the Phoenix Suns.
The Suns were unable to make the postseason due to poor beer performance alongside Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. Rumors of the deal’s acquisition have also begun to spread.
He finally agreed to say goodbye to Phoenix on Wednesday, July 16th, allowing him to freely choose from the other 29 teams.
Los Angeles Lakers fans wanted the shooting guards to join LeBron James and Luka Donsic, but agreed to join the Los Angeles Clippers instead.
Shams Charania announced at X that Beal has signed a two-year contract worth $11 million to play for the LA Clippers.
Clutch Sports reports that Beal has little interest in joining the Lakers despite the team “in wide conversations with him and his representative.”
Many Lakers fans have taken him to social media to express their frustration with general manager Rob Perinka after missing out on the 32-year-old.
Posted: “Yopelinka, did you get Bradley Beer?” Another comment: “I hate the Pelinka guy. The guy is a terrible GM.”
There were two more reactions to the news: “Tell me the 10 reasons why Rob Perinka isn’t the worst GM in the league,” and “No one wants to play for Lakers Blue. Everyone hates Perinka.”
“Another day, another wrong LA team signature,” Lakers fans tweeted. “Amazing,” another replied.
The Clippers’ start five is probably arguably better than the Lakers after Bradley Beale’s offseason was added.
James Harden and Kawi Leonard remain two major scoring options, and many offenses are also provided by Ivica Zubac and his summer buddy signing John Collins.
Beale is clearly not the same player he was with the Washington Wizard, but he is not asked to do as much in LA as he would have been expected in Phoenix.

The Lakers have players similar to Austin Reeves’ beer.
The Purple and Gold Key is influenced by Centre DeAndre Ayton. If he can provide 16 points, eight rebounds and a serviceable defense, the Lakers could be significantly better than last season.
