Beal spent the past two seasons in Phoenix playing alongside Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, however, the Suns' experiment with their Big Three didn't work out and resulted in the team missing the playoffs in 2024.
A fresh start in Los Angeles could be good for Beal though, especially if he's surrounded with two other premier scorers that can take the pressure off of the former Washington Wizards superstar.
