A report from NBC Sports points strongly toward the Clippers as the likely destination for Bradley Beal if the buyout is finalized.

Gerald Bourguet of PHNX Sports reported that Beal's buyout is "imminent," and he's likely to have $96.9 million of the $110.8 million remaining on his contract stretched over the next five years. That would allow the Suns to avoid going over both tax aprons.

A buyout makes Beal a free agent and while multiple teams are interested, the Clippers are considered the likely landing spot.
