The Phoenix Suns are trying to figure out what to do with Bradley Beal and his two years remaining on his contract, which will pay him $110 million. To make matters more difficult, Beal owns a full no-trade clause, making it even more difficult to move his hefty salary elsewhere.

The Miami Heat had "exploratory dialogue" with the Phoenix Suns about acquiring shooting guard Bradley Beal before trade talks "ultimately collapsed," per <a href=" Stein and Jake Fischer for the Stein Line newsletter.

Beal, a three-time NBA All-Star, hasn’t played 60 or more games in a season since the 2020-21 campaign, which had been shortened to 72 games due to COVID, and he averaged a career-best 31.3 points while making the All-Star Game. Beal came to the Suns in the 2023 offseason in a trade that sent Chris Paul to the Wizards.
