The Miami Heat have had Jimmy Butler trade discussions with several teams over the last week. One of the interested teams is the Phoenix Suns, but Bradley Beal’s no-trade clause is a sticking point in a possible trade.
For one, Beal has to approve of any deal, or he can use his no-trade clause to block it. The second issue is that Miami doesn’t want to take on Beal, given his no-trade clause would stay intact even after a second trade on the same contract. That means for a trade to happen, a third team likely needs to be involved. And that third team would need to be one that Beal approves of being dealt to.
Beal is owed $50.2 million this season. He has two seasons remaining on his deal beyond this one. Beal will make $53.6 million in 2025-26, followed by a $57.1 million player option in 2026-27.
Chris Haynes reported on Sunday that the Suns will replace Bradley Beal in their starting lineup this week. Rookie Ryan Dunn will take Beal’s place as a starter.
