With Lillard officially gone, the Bucks have an enormous scoring void to fill. Turner gives them perimeter shooting and interior defense, but Beal would give the Bucks needed isolation scoring and — when available — is the most proven scorer on the open market.

Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reported that Beal's buyout is "imminent," and he's likely to have $96.9 million of the $110.8 million remaining on his contract stretched over the next five years. That would allow the Suns to avoid going over both tax aprons.
