With a roster boasting top names, Beal’s arrival puts the Suns’ at the right juncture for a championship. He had to lift his no-trade clause to make the move to Phoenix happen. This clause, though, has tagged along with him to the new team.

He signed with the Suns’ on a 5 year, $251 million contract. Clearly, Mat Ishbia’s commitment to get a title can be seen in the talent-heavy roster. The only thing left now is to get that chip. How’s that going to look?
