Beal was introduced in a Phoenix Suns jersey when the landmark deal was completed. Bradley Beal has now officially joined the Phoenix Suns after a lengthier-than-expected procedure. The Washington Wizards received Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, a slew of future choices and trade chips, Jordan Goodwin, and Isaiah Todd from the Phoenix Suns in exchange for Beal.
