The expected trade that will send Jimmy Butler out of Miami has been reported to have multiple pieces. Phoenix appears to be the likely destination for the form
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.
According to the latest Phoenix Suns trade rumors, All-Star guard Bradley Beal reportedly has no desire to play for the Chicago
The Chicago Bulls were rumored to be interested in taking on Bradley Beal’s contract as a third team in a deal involving the Suns and the Miami Heat on Monday.

The Phoenix Suns will likely have to involve a third team in a deal for Jimmy Butler that involves Bradley Beal, but the latter reportedly has no interest
The NBA trade deadline draws closer by the day, and as always, the transaction cycle remains headlined by the same small group of players. On Monday, the Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler indefinitely after he walked out of a shootaround upon receiving the news that he would be benched.
During the Hoop Collective discussion, Windhorst’s ESPN colleague Tim Bontemps also questioned why the Bulls would be motivated to swap out LaVine for Beal, given the limited draft assets the Suns could offer as sweeteners and the All-Star caliber season LaVine is having so far this year (24.0 PPG on .512/.444/.792 shooting).
The Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls had ground-level talks about a Bradley Beal trade, reports ESPN's Brian Windhorst.
As the trade deadline gets closer, other teams trying to get involved in the Jimmy Butler trade, and the Chicago Bulls are one of them.
Bradley Beal will not waive his no-trade clause in a potential deal that would send the Phoenix Suns guard to the Chicago Bulls, per a report.
Katz reports that, despite his apathy towards a Bulls trade, Beal would be open to being dealt away from the Suns, provided he is sent to a “winning team.” He finds cold-weather destinations less appetizing. The Bulls, being in such a climate and also sporting a sub-.500 19-27 record, are not among trade destinations Beal would approve.
