Bradley Beal's Fit with Durant, Booker Questioned by Fans After Suns-Wizards Trade

While Sunday's blockbuster trade of Bradley Beal from the Wizards to the Phoenix Suns seems like the formation of the NBA's latest super team, there are those that have some lingering questions of how it will all worked.

Beal was acquired in exchange for Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, a handful of second-round picks, and multiple pick swaps, according to The Athletic's Shams Charania. It's the first major domino to fall in the 2023 offseason.

Having three elite scorers on the same roster is a good problem for any team in the league to have. However, adding Beal to the mix of Kevin Durant and Devin Booker seems a bit redundant and fails to address the issues that plagued the Suns in the postseason when they went up against the Denver Nuggets.

When Booker and Durant weren't able to put up eye-popping numbers, Phoenix did not have the depth or the defense to keep up with the eventual champs and were bounced out of the playoffs in the second round.

Adding Beal, as good as he is, doesn't seem to be the type of move that could raise the team out of its current situation and lead them to a title.

And NBA Twitter made sure to pose some questions over the first big trade of the offseason.

Only time will tell exactly how this new trio works out. Durant has seen both sides of the coin on how these types of "super teams" end up going. In Golden State he won back-to-back titles and could've gone for a third, in Brooklyn, the team never got out of the second round and there was constant drama and angst surrounding the organization.

Everybody in the Valley will be hoping for the former..

Questions of fit aside, Beal brings an elite scoring skillset to Phoenix, having single-handedly carried the Wizards offense over the last few seasons despite dealing with injuries. He averaged 23.2 points per game last year to go along with 3.9 rebounds and 5.4 assists on a career-high 50.6 percent shooting from the field.
