Beal essentially holds the keys to a massive trade that would net the Suns the talents of Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler. Beal owns a no-trade clause and without his full agreement on a deal, one of the biggest trades in recent league history can't go down.

The trade rumors swirling around the Milwaukee Bucks are reaching a fever pitch, but they should stay far, far away from Bradley Beal.

There are still a few other teams that the three-time NBA All-Star Beal, 31, would reportedly approve a trade to. But with the Bucks apparently out of the running, it appears much likelier now that Beal (and also by extension Butler) might just be staying put through the Feb. 6 trade deadline.

There’s been plenty of discussion about the possibility that the Milwaukee Bucks will add Jimmy Butler or Bradley Beal to their roster, and why not? Neither player is quite at home with their current organizations.

The Suns and Bulls are exploring a Bradley Beal trade to facilitate Jimmy Butler's arrival in Phoenix before the deadline.

As the Phoenix Suns work to regain momentum in the NBA regular season, reports suggest that Bradley Beal could be involved in a potential blockbuster trade. One of the major trades reportedly being discussed during this NBA transfer window involves the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat in a potential deal centered around Jimmy Butler.
