Bradley Beal was the main man in Washington Wizards for so long after John Wall's departure; however, his being the designated star amounted to nothing.
This is why moving to Phoenix to join Kevin Durant and Devin Booker seems like a great idea for the three-time All-Star.
The 30-year-old shooting guard said the most impactful reason he joined the Suns is the prospect of playing meaningful games.

"I'm super ecstatic that every single day I have a chance to play in a meaningful game," Beal said in front of the reporters during the player introduction.
"That's one of the biggest decisions that impacted me of coming here - of knowing that every single night, I'm going to be in an important game. Every single night, I may have a chance of being on television. Every single night, teams are gonna give us their best."

Beal spent 11 years with the Wizards. He had individual recognitions, including three All-Star appearances and an All-NBA Third Team accolade. However, the team never got anywhere near the NBA title.
Chill nights with KD and Booker
Beal also said that he expects a lighter workload with the Suns and is okay with that.
"K, Dev, DA (DeAndre Ayton), these guys are a great core piece to the franchise," he said with a smile.
"I'm happy that you can go guard Devin and K tonight, and I can chill a little bit and not face so many double-teams."
Beal joined the Suns on June 24 with Jordan Goodwin and Isaiah Todd in exchange for Landry Shamet, Chris Paul, and ten draft picks.
