The latest NBA trade rumors circling the hottest commodity in the market, Jimmy Butler, suggest the Miami Heat will shoot down one of his favored landing spots. According to ESPN's Bobby Marks, the Heat won't engage in a direct trade with the Phoenix Suns because they have 'no desire' to take Bradley Beal's $50.2 million salary in exchange.
If the Suns are hellbent on the deal, they will have to look at a third team to re-route Beal. It was going to be a complicated deal, even if the Heat wanted the three-time All-Star. Miami can't take back more salary as it is an apron team. Another situation the Suns would have to deal with is making Beal waive his no-trade clause. He has the power to veto a move per his contract.
