The Phoenix Suns and Bradley Beal went their separate ways this offseason, but reportedly not before there were some "heated" discussions surrounding his eventual buyout.

What began as a bold acquisition ended in a complex buyout, with Beal walking away from $13.9 million of the $113 million remaining on his deal. Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein and his father, Mark, who also represents Beal, hammered out a $99 million buyout that underscores the awkward entanglement of business and family.
