Bradley Beal Reportedly Linked to T-Wolves amid Lakers, Clippers, Warriors Rumors

NBA veteran Bradley Beal is reportedly drawing interest from the Minnesota Timberwolves this offseason, joining a list of potential suitors that already includes the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, and Milwaukee Bucks, according to reports from Marc Stein and Jake Fischer.

If acquired by Minnesota, Beal's role would depend on the Timberwolves' lineup strategy. He could potentially come off the bench if the team maintains its traditional larger starting unit alongside Mike Conley and Anthony Edwards. Alternatively, the team could opt for a smaller frontcourt featuring Conley at point guard, Beal and Edwards as the shooting guard and small forward, with Julius Randle and Rudy Gobert in the frontcourt, creating a potentially strong roster.

The reports indicate that the Clippers are currently considered the favorites to land the 32-year-old Beal. This is linked to the Phoenix Suns considering waiving and stretching Beal's contract, a move that would require Beal to surrender nearly $13.9 million of the $111 million remaining on his deal over the final two seasons. A contract buyout also remains a possibility, which would terminate Beal's five-year contract and erase his no-trade clause.
