Phoenix Suns owner explains Bradley Beal trade and sends Chris Paul message

Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia has spoken for the first time following the trades involving Bradley Beal and Chris Paul.

The Suns agreed to a trade with the Washington Wizards that will see Beal make the switch to Phoenix. In return, the Suns will give the Wizards some draft picks and two players in Paul and Landry Shamet.

As a result, Beal will join the Suns and form a new superstar trio in the organisation alongside Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Durant was acquired from the Brooklyn Nets in February, while Booker was drafted in 2015 with the No.13 overall pick in the first round.
