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.

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

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.
