After the acquisition of Phoenix Sun, Bradley Beal signs with Los Angeles Clippersjoin a wealthy and experienced group to compete for the NBA championship. NBA Great Dwyane Wade believes this is the perfect landing point for Beal in his career.
The former Heat superstar said in his podcast “Podcast with Dwyane Wade” that the Clippers could be the tempting destination for 32-year-old Beal, who was considered a great teammate because of the opportunity to play with James Harden.
“I think Bradley is where he wants to go,” Wade said. “He is playing with one of James's players, and he probably wants to play with him for a while. A lot of players want to play with James because of his ability to play. I also heard that James is a good leader too. I never went to the locker room with him, but I heard that men say high to James Harden in that locker room.”
The Clippers will rely on many key players over the age of 30 Reversing the current trend in the NBA. John Collins, the youngest player in the team’s expected game, will be 28 at the tip of the opening night.
Besides that, Harden is 35, Kawhi Leonard is 34, Brooks Lopez is 37, and Chris Paul is 40. Beal will play in Los Angeles with an experienced and mature group, another reason Wade has.
“As a veteran, playing with other veterans in his career with other veterans, it could be something that needs, wants and is very important,” Wade said. “Around guys who grew up like hell. It's another thing when you're on that energy.”
Entering the 2025-26 campaign, it is undeniable that the Clippers have some talent on the roster. The biggest question is whether they can all stay on the floor together given their physical wear, but Wade is optimistic.
“I'm looking forward to it,” Wade said. “You look at that roster and the only thing you can say is, 'If they can stay healthy.' That's a good thing.
Beal will enter his 14th NBA season this fall, and he is still looking for his first championship. This is the case with several veterans in the roster, including Harden and Paul. It would be fun to see if they could put them together and have another run on the ring.
