The Phoenix Suns, who recently acquired three-time All-Star Bradley Beal, have expressed interest in the NBA player, according to NBA insider Jake Fischer. As per the sources, the team has just started talking unofficially about the potential of a sign-and-trade involving Golden State's swingman.

On July 17, he posted in the Substack weekly, The Stein Line: 'Sources say Phoenix, meanwhile, is the latest team to express exploratory interest in a Kuminga sign-and-trade... challenging as it would be for the Suns to make such a deal happen…. Fresh off completing a buyout of Bradley Beal this week, enabling the Suns to waive-and-stretch the hefty contract possessed by the three-time NBA All-Star guard, they have contacted both Kuminga's representation and the Warriors to make their fondness for the bouncy swingman known. ' He further wrote: 'The Suns have reached out to both Kuminga's representation and the Warriors 'to make their fondness for the bouncy swingman known.' However, there are obstacles in the way of the Phoenix Suns ' possible sign-and-trade for the Golden State Warriors' previous No. 7 pick, so no deal is imminent. Stating the same, Jake Fischer added: 'The Suns, to be clear, do not appear to possess the sort of draft capital or players that Golden State is believed to be seeking in exchange for Kuminga.'

Additionally, even though arranging such a deal would be difficult financially and logistically, it is evident that the team is very interested in the player's potential.
