There was a bit of nepotism involved in the Bradley Beal blockbuster trade.

On Sunday, ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski reported that the Wizards star was being traded to the Phoenix Suns, which would form a new big 3 in the NBA.

The Wizards were unable to get back a first-rounder in the deal due to the fact that Beal had leverage with his no-trade clause.

Suns are expected to send Chris Paul, Landry Shamet, multiple second-round picks and pick swaps to Wizards, sources tell ESPN. Phoenix has no available first-rounders to include in trade. Beal’s no-trade limited Wizards’ marketplace. Deal could take a few days to be finalized.

It was later revealed that Beal’s agent Mark Bartelstein is the father of Suns GM Josh Bartelstein.
