Bradley Beal has finally revealed the exact reason behind signing for the LA Clippers. When he reached a buyout agreement with the Phoenix Suns, there were already multiple sides that wanted to sign him. But the team he chose was the Clippers.

The shooting guard suggested that he desperately wanted to win a ring and hence went with the Clippers. He believes that the Los Angeles-based side is best suited to win it all and has a real chance next season.

Bradley Beal said, “I need a ring. I want one bad and I feel like I have a new life of rejuvenation, for sure, a new hunger. Excited about the opportunity. New city. New environment, but a hungry environment, too. I’m definitely excited about the opportunity to go win.”

The Clippers were swift, offering the 32-year-old, a two-year, $11 million deal. This also serves as an affordable option for the Clippers, who have similar contracts for their other core players.

Beal Elevates Clippers With Shooting And Creation

Clippers’ management has been impressed by Bradley Beal despite his underwhelming stint at the Phoenix Suns. The trio of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant flopped despite having huge contracts on their respective names.

However, LA Clippers’ president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank believes that Bradley Beal will elevate the quality of their side.

Lawrence Frank said, “Bradley Beal is one of the most talented shooting guards in the NBA. He is a two-way player and an accomplished three-level scorer who brings additional shooting, ball-handling, and creation to the team.”

Frank added, “Brad had a lot of options this summer, for good reason, and we’re honored he chose the Clippers. We look forward to providing him with all the support he needs to reach the high standards he’s set throughout his decorated career.”
