The Suns would need to find a trade offer that suits the Heat and it is likely that Bradley Beal would have to leave Phoenix as part of any deal involving Butler. The issue is, Miami do not seem to be interested in the 31-year-old.

Butler has reportedly told teams he will not sign a contract extension, as he has a player option for the 2025-26 season and could hit free agency if he chooses. He's also reportedly shut down most potential teams in a deal - besides the Suns.

Jimmy Butler could potentially add another seven figures to his career earnings if the Phoenix Suns acquire him via a trade with Miami Heat.

Miami is being patient while Butler is suspended, knowing that other teams will start to get desperate near the trade deadline.

A new plotline emerged out of nowhere amid the stagnant Jimmy Butler drama. The post Pat Riley Stands Firm on Trade Stance Against Suns as Jimmy Butler Faces $121 Million Dilemma appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Bradley Beal is not succumbing to the outside noise or supposition that the Phoenix Suns are trying to play mind games with him. Instead, he's refusing to budge

Suns guard Bradley Beal has more to his trade rumors, as his agent, Mark Bartlestein, is Suns CEO, Josh Bartlestein's father.

The Phoenix Suns have reportedly positioned themselves to make a significant move for Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, with Kendrick Perkins claiming the team is ready to offer Butler a two-year, $121 million contract extension.

The front office connections mean that if Phoenix can find a home for Beal, the Pistons can rent their cap space to facilitate a Butler trade. It also helps that if the Suns' boss needs to know about Beal's wishes and his no-trade clause, he can call his father, and so can his assistant GM.

The Phoenix Suns have covered the point spread in only 14 of 37 games, which is an NBA-worst .378 cover percentage.
