The Phoenix Suns are eager to part ways with Bradley Beal, especially if it helps them land Jimmy Butler in a blockbuster trade. But the Suns don’t have to only compete with a busy trade market; they also have to remember that Beal has a no-trade clause allowing him to shoot down any potential deal he doesn’t like.

Beal has what is widely described as the "worst" contract in the NBA - particularly due to the no-trade clause in the deal, but it feels like the fact that discussions are even being held should be encouraging to Suns fans that desire for the Butler deal to come to fruition.
