As Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal appears to be on the verge of free agency through a contract buyout, it sounds like his next destination will influence the future of other veteran players.

While all signs point to the 2025-26 campaign being his final season, which he hinted at in a recent interview with Jemele Hill, Chris Paul could join the Clippers for a reunion. Teams such as the Bucks and Lakers have also been linked to Paul, while the Suns and Clippers rose to the top as favorites, per ClutchPoints' Brett Sigel.

Amid free agency, Bradley Beal could make a decision that impacts Chris Paul's free agency ahead of his last season.
