The Milwaukee Bucks have been at the center of trade rumors involving Suns guard Bradley Beal. While there is speculation about a potential fit, NBA insider Chris Haynes has revealed that the Bucks have not pursued Beal and there is no connection between the two parties. This complicates the Suns’ efforts to acquire Jimmy Butler, as they may need to trade Beal due to salary cap restrictions.
If the Suns do find a trade partner for Beal, his no-trade clause means he must approve any potential move. According to his agent, Mark Bartelstein, Beal has not been approached about a trade yet.

The Athletic has mentioned the Bucks as a team to watch in Butler trade talks, with Zach LaVine being another high-priced guard linked to Milwaukee. Despite their recent winning streak, the Bucks have struggled defensively since acquiring Damian Lillard. Adding Beal or LaVine could bolster their offense but may not address their defensive issues.
With the trade deadline approaching, the Suns face the challenge of finding a new destination for Beal if they want to pursue Butler. Time is running out, and the clock is ticking for Phoenix to make a move.
