The Phoenix Suns' pursuit of Jimmy Butler could be hurt by the size of the trade market for Bradley Beal, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

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.

Fans have taken notice of the ongoing speculation, and emotions spilled over at a recent Suns game. Beal’s wife, Kamiah Adams-Beal, had to move her children away after a Sun's fan "spent the entire night heckling" her husband.

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.

Bradley Beal’s wife revealed on Monday that a heckling Phoenix Suns fan made their son cry during the team's win over the Washington Wizards this past weekend.

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

TO SAY THE Phoenix Suns' deal for Bradley Beal last offseason hasn't worked out the way either side wanted would be an understatement. They were swept in the first round of the playoffs last spring, and are now ninth in the Western Conference,

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.

The agent for Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal reiterated that the three-time All-Star intends to enjoy the full privileges his no-trade clause affords.
