The Phoenix Suns' star guard reportedly listed the Denver Nuggets as a possible landing spot amid trade rumors.
New reports say the Miami Heat are one of three teams that Suns star Bradley Beal would waive his no-trade clause to join.
The Miami Heat are trying to find a suitable trade for Jimmy Butler as the disgruntled star serves his seven-game suspension for "several instances of conduct detrimental to the team." Behind the scenes,
Sorry, folks, but this is the basketball that’s hard to watch. Phoenix is 29th in dunks, last in layups and last by a mile in shots at the rim (just 14.8 percent of attempts). In addition to the 25th-ranked defense, the Suns are also shortchanging their offensive talent by failing basketball math.
Even before Jimmy Butler's suspension, Stephen A. Smith believed that Bradley Beal should be open to a trade to the Miami Heat from the Phoenix Suns.
"The Suns meanwhile, would need to have Bradley Beal waive his no trade clause. Sources told ESPN that the Heat have no desire to take back the $110 million owed to Beal and that Phoenix would need to find a third team to get involved to make a deal work."
The Jimmy Butler trade saga has reached a point where the Miami Heat suspended him for seven games. As they are looking for trade partners to take the beleaguered superstar, a certain Phoenix Suns and their star Bradley Beal have come into the picture.
There is NBA action on Monday, Jan. 6 and that includes a contest with the Phoenix Suns taking on the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

It’s understandable that Beal was caught off-guard. He has been advertised as one leg of this big three in Phoenix since the moment he waived his no-trade clause about a year and a half ago to approve a trade out of Washington.
As the basketball world awaits a finality of the drama between the Miami Heat and Jimmy Butler, the question remains of the teams that are most interested in trading for the star. While the Golden State Warriors were at one time linked to Butler, they are said to back off as it's the Phoenix Suns that hold the top spot.
