It was recently reported that the Suns are interested in Butler and considering trading for Beal. Speaking about the recent trade rumours, Beal said: "Unless one of them comes to me or talks to me, it's just outside rumors. I'm part of the Phoenix Suns, I'm here, wearing this uniform. I don't care about that. They have been doing this to me for 10 years. ”

Payroll expert Bobby Marks spoke on the show about the possibility of Butler going to the Suns. "I said on TV that it might be the easiest deal to make, but this 'easiest deal' would require Bill to give up his veto on the deal," Marks said. Are the Heat willing to accept Beal in a trade? Will the Heat be willing to take on Beal's remaining $110 million contract after this season? ”
