NBA legend James Harden played a big role in Bradley Beal signing with the Los Angeles Clippers. Harden, a top 75 player of all time, recruited Beal to the Clippers.

Bradley Beal plans to join the Los Angeles Clippers on a two-year deal for $11 million after agreeing to a buyout with the Phoenix Suns.

Before the signing the Beal, the Clippers—who are hard-capped at the first apron—had an active roster cap of $187 million, just $8.9 million below the first apron maximum, per Spotrac.
