Jimmy Butler has made his intentions clear over the past month. With Butler wanting to leave the Miami Heat, can the Phoenix Suns make a serious play to acquire him?

"The Suns meanwhile, would need to have Bradley Beal waive his no trade clause. Sources told ESPN that the Heat have no desire to take back the $110 million owed to Beal and that Phoenix would need to find a third team to get involved to make a deal work."

According to Forbes’ Evan Sidery, the Heat have no interest in acquiring Bradley Beal from Phoenix in a potential trade that would send Butler to the Suns. Miami did not pursue Beal in 2023 when the Washington Wizards made him available, and Sidery’s report shows that they have not changed their mind.
