According to NBA insider Jake Fischer, the Phoenix Suns could be interested in trading Bradley Beal to the Chicago Bulls for Zach LaVine. Beal has a no-trade clause in his contract, so the Suns can’t trade him without his permission.

The Suns listed guard Bradley Beal as out (left ankle sprain) for Phoenix's game against an injury-hit Brooklyn Nets team on Wednesday.

BROOKLYN – Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal is ruled out of Wednesday’s game against Brooklyn at Barclays Center with a left ankle sprain after playing Monday at Cleveland following a two-game absence with the injury. “There’s soreness,” Suns coach Mike Budenholzer said before Wednesday’s game. “He's unable to go."

Beal essentially holds the keys to a massive trade that would net the Suns the talents of Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler. Beal owns a no-trade clause and without his full agreement on a deal, one of the biggest trades in recent league history can't go down.

Amid a roller-coaster season that began with title hopes, the Suns needed a shakeup. But with limited options, where do they go from here?

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal is expected to play against the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday while Jusuf Nurkic is out.

With Jimmy Butler looking to leave the Miami Heat, the rumor mill has been working overtime to figure out ways to get him traded away from South Beach before the deadline. At this point in time, the Phoenix Suns look like the most likely destination.

Phoenix Suns star guard Bradley Beal will return this afternoon against the Cleveland Cavaliers after missing the last two games with a left ankle sprain. Beal was originally listed as questionable. He suffered the injury last Tuesday in a loss to the Atlanta Hawks.

Rumors of Bradley Beal potentially leaving the Phoenix Suns surfaced a couple of weeks ago, and now those whispers have grown louder. Speculation suggests he could be on his way to joining an NBA Cup championship team.

Suns guard Bradley Beal hasn't been spoken to about a potential trade, even with the team trading for three first-round picks.
