That's the sweetest deal for Beal and he's got the Clippers ready to take care of him.
I think that there were also players before that have been paid not to play for the team because of poor performance on the past season. They just let those players sit in the bench and be there at all games but no playing time.
But the twist, is they got paid for being there with sums of money. While before, they're one of the contenders, the Suns really paved their way to a mismanaged team.
Hope he'll be able to contribute with the Clippers, the way he play the game he also need to have the ball create his own shot, similar to how Harden and Kawhi, let see if how he's going to fit with the clippers, hopefully he'll get some minutes and bring some decent contributions unlike with how he perform with the Suns.
Still earning even he's not playing just watching and monitoring how the coach run the system, that's how Beal being compensated from the Suns.
With Powell out for the Clippers, they expect Beal to be their 2nd scorer besides Harden. Beal averaged around 18 PPG last season with the Phoenix which for me is still helpful, but doesn't equal to the amount of money that he's getting. It's good that the Suns bought him out already because his contract really is a big mess (shoutout to the Washington Wizards for giving him a contract like that).
The Clippers are lowkey winning in trades this off season as well. I mean they got Brook Lopez as their supporting big, and at the same time, they also got John Collins which is a good defender and can stretch the floor as well, and they got Beal as well in a friendly contract. As long as both Harden and Kawhi will be healthy especially during the playoffs, I will not be surprised if they will reach the NBA Finals TBH despite the stacked Western Conference. They still have a good depth and in today's era, the deeper bench players that you have, the higher your chances of winning a title.
