This extension puts them way above it with just 11 players under contract.
Yeah I think this a pretty emphatic sign that the Suns owner couldn't care less about the 2nd apron.
If anything I think they will try and trade Beal for pennies on the dollar and to use his contract to find a PG and bench help. Trouble is, what team out there, save maybe the Pistons, has the room to absorb Beal's deal AND be willing to give up a rotation player too.
