The Phoenix Suns were linked to Jimmy Butler for much of the six-time All-Star's saga at the end of his tenure with the Miami Heat. Until they weren't.

The Phoenix Suns can't make a deal for Jimmy Butler unless Bradley Beal opts to waive his no-trade clause. The club is keen to be active at the trade deadline for one reason or another. They've been pursuing Butler for quite a while now, though no real developments have been made.

Bradley Beal's agent, Mark Bartlestein, downplayed any chance of the Suns trading away Beal due to his no-trade clause.
