The Phoenix Suns are set to have a busy offseason after they failed to even come close to meeting their lofty expectations this season.
Phoenix finished the season 11th in the Western Conference with an abysmal 36-46 record as they missed the playoffs for the first time since the 2019-20 campaign.
Of course, the Suns are expected to move on from both Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal this summer as they try to turn their franchise around with Devin Booker leading the way.

While Durant has been at the focal point of trade rumors entering the offseason, Beal is also a player expected to be on the move, though he has not garnered a ton of interest, which was also the case at the trade deadline.
It was reported that one team was interested in the 31-year-old guard, which was his former team in the Washington Wizards.
Washington could show interest in Beal again this summer and the Suns have been linked to their star guard Jordan Poole in recent weeks.
According to Bovada, the Suns have the fifth-best odds (+800) to land Poole from the Wizards via trade this summer.
The Orlando Magic are the favorite (+550) to land him and they are followed by the Sacramento Kings (+600) and Milwaukee Bucks (+700).
For the Suns to acquire Poole, they would likely have to send Beal in a potential trade package that would also likely require draft capital due to Beal’s almost untradeable contract.
Of course, this trade only works if the Wizards once again show interest in Beal, which may not be the case this summer.

If Washington is interested in reuniting with Beal, Poole would be a solid addition for the Suns, especially with them in search of a point guard, though Poole has been more of a shooting guard during his career.
Despite this, the Wizards will likely not want to take on Beal’s contract this summer, making Poole almost unattainable for Phoenix.
