The Phoenix Suns entered the offseason expected to make major changes to their roster and that is exactly what they have done thus far.<\/p>\n

Phoenix began their offseason by trading Kevin Durant to the Houston Rockets and they then acquired Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets on draft night before selecting Khaman Maluach, Rasheer Fleming and Koby Brea.<\/p>\n

With Durant now gone, the Suns officially ended the big three era of him, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal and by the time next season begins, Booker may be the only one remaining.<\/p>\n

That is due to reports that Beal and the Suns are approaching a contract buyout that would make him a free agent.<\/p>\n

If that ends up being the case, many teams are expected to show interest in the star guard though Fox Sports\u2019 Jason Mcyntire believes that he would be a perfect fit with the Los Angeles Lakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cBradley Beal is the missing piece, you can just go ahead and get the parade ready for the Lakers if they get Bradley Beal,\u201d Mcyntire said.<\/p>\n
