Before choosing to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers following his contract buyout from the Phoenix Suns, veteran shooting guard Bradley Beal reportedly had a slew of options in front of him.

What began as a bold acquisition ended in a complex buyout, with Beal walking away from $13.9 million of the $113 million remaining on his deal. Suns CEO Josh Bartelstein and his father, Mark, who also represents Beal, hammered out a $99 million buyout that underscores the awkward entanglement of business and family.

Bradley Beal and the Phoenix Suns have agreed to a buyout on the final two years of his contract. That's according to a person with knowledge of the deal who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday because the deal hasn’t been officially announced.
