Los Angeles Clippers president of basketball operations Lawrence Frank revealed that the team attempted to trade for Bradley Beal two times in the past before signing him as a free agent, per Law Murray of The Athletic.

The Golden State Warriors reportedly offered a contract to Bradley Beal after his buyout with the Phoenix Suns.

The Los Angeles Clippers are back as a championship contender. And much of that goes to James Harden’s selfless move. The Clippers have made some exciting moves this offseason that could turn things around.

With the addition of Beal, Lawrence Frank believes the Clippers have what it takes to win a playoff series for the first time in five years.

Beal's use of just the peace emoji to say goodbye prompted laughs from several other stars across the NBA. Former teammate Durant simply commented a laughing emoji on his post. Another former Suns teammate, Tyus Jones, who recently signed with the Magic, commented "aye man" with two laughing emojis.
