‘They should win the title’ – Former NBA superstar reacts to the inclusion of Bradley Beal in Phoenix Suns for upcoming season

Ahead of the upcoming season, Phoenix Suns have roped in several star players to make a star-studded team. The team might need to connect some dots to win the championship but they should not think about any excuses. As Bradley Beal has joined the Phoenix Suns, joining a lineup that includes Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Deandre Ayton, the team is looking to get the championship.

Speaking about the same, former NBA star Jay Williams feels that there will be more pressure on Kevin Durant’s team to clinch the title. He said, “There is no better top four in the league than Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, you think about what they add with Bradley Beal and then Deandre Ayton. If you could put the right pieces together they should win a title. There’s no doubt about it.”

As a result of Bradley Beal’s activation of his no-trade clause, the Wizards received Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, and several second-round picks and pick swaps. It is worth noting that Beal scored 23.2 points per game (50.6% shooting, including 36.5% from 3-point range) and 5.4 assists for the Washington Wizards during the 2022-23 regular season.

Bradley Beal will add weight to the Suns’ weak bench

Introducing Bradley Beal to the Suns’ team would give them another scoring option, easing the load on Durant and Booker, who both played lengthy minutes in the playoffs. The Suns were forced to rely mainly on their dynamic combination due to a thin bench. Beal’s presence would provide much-needed relief and enable the team to expand its offensive strategy.

Notably, after a disappointing loss and finish of the season, Phoenix Suns skipper Kevin Durant expressed disappointment. He has said, It sucked, It was a bad feeling. It was embarrassing. They came out and hit us in the mouth. We couldn’t recover. You got to give them credit for being a disciplined team.”
