Latest complete update of Free Agency: Beal, Kuminga, Chris Paul

The anticipation that Bradley Beal will soon become an unrestricted free agent is affecting the free agent markets of Chris Paul, Russell Westbrook, and Malcolm Brogdon, who are drawing interest from many of the same teams, writes Jake Fischer of The Stein Line.

According to Fischer, the Clippers, Lakers, Bucks, and Timberwolves are among the teams expected to be interested in signing Beal if he ultimately reaches a buyout agreement with the Suns, which appears increasingly likely. An earlier report also tagged the Warriors as potential suitors for Beal, while the Heat seem less likely following their acquisition of Norman Powell.

It is known that the Clippers and Bucks are interested in Paul, notes Fischer, so if Beal lands in one of those teams, that club is likely out of the running for CP3, possibly enhancing the chances of the 40-year-old reuniting with the Suns.

Regarding Brogdon, the Clippers, Suns, Lakers, Warriors, Timberwolves, and Bucks are also among the teams that have shown some interest in him, along with the Pelicans and Kings, reports Fischer.

Free agents like De'Anthony Melton and Ben Simmons could also be involved in this musical chairs game in the backcourt, suggests Fischer, whose potential destinations should become clearer once one or two of those star guards, starting with Beal, find new homes.

Other Free Agency Rumors

There were no updates on Jonathan Kuminga over the weekend, as reported by sources to Anthony Slater of The Athletic. Slater notes that the Kings have been the most aggressive suitors for the Warriors' restricted free agent, but nothing has materialized yet. In fact, the market for all top-tier restricted free agents remains cold, Slater adds.

The Pacers are expected to meet with familiar faces to bolster their frontcourt. Speaking to reporters today, President of Basketball Operations Kevin Pritchard said the club plans to bring back James Wiseman and things are progressing well with restricted free agent Isaiah Jackson.

Veteran center Jaxson Hayes waived his no-trade clause this season when he re-signed with the Lakers, as reported by Dan Woike of The Athletic. By default, a player who re-ups with his previous team on a one-year deal gets a de facto no-trade clause, but a team may request a player to waive that right as part of his new contract.
