NBA insider Jake Fischer noted in his column on Monday that there are four teams that are certainly interested in Beal—the Los Angeles Clippers, Los Angeles Lakers, Milwaukee Bucks and Minnesota Timberwolves.

Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reported that Beal's buyout is "imminent," and he's likely to have $96.9 million of the $110.8 million remaining on his contract stretched over the next five years. That would allow the Suns to avoid going over both tax aprons.
