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.
