Suns guard Bradley Beal is apparently not amenable to waiving his no-trade clause to be moved to the Bulls, a source informs Fred Katz of The Athletic. Chicago has reportedly held conversations with Phoenix about acquiring Beal to help facilitate a Suns trade for embattled Heat All-Star swingman Jimmy Butler.

Beal, 31, is on one of the worst contracts in NBA history. The Suns star is in the third year of a five-year, $251 million back-loaded contract, and has a no-trade clause. It would be very interesting to see the Bulls willingly take on Beal's contract, as it would likely put them in a very dangerous position going forward.

Phoenix Suns shooting guard Bradley Beal is not ready to lift his no-trade clause, regardless of which team would show interest in trading for him, his agent clarified with the press.

The Phoenix Suns haven’t made their intention to be a huge player at this year’s trade deadline a secret whatsoever. They have been the team most often linked to a trade for disgruntled Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler,
