Suns guard Bradley Beal explained after Wednesday's game about how the rumors involving Jimmy Butler are now done.

The Phoenix Suns can't make a deal for Jimmy Butler unless Bradley Beal opts to waive his no-trade clause. The club is keen to be active at the trade deadline for one reason or another. They've been pursuing Butler for quite a while now, though no real developments have been made.

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.
