The Phoenix Suns have been bandied about as a possible destination for Jimmy Butler, the disgruntled Heat star, but does a Bradley Beal package make sense for Miami?

Sorry, folks, but this is the basketball that’s hard to watch. Phoenix is 29th in dunks, last in layups and last by a mile in shots at the rim (just 14.8 percent of attempts). In addition to the 25th-ranked defense, the Suns are also shortchanging their offensive talent by failing basketball math.

INDIANAPOLIS — A day after Charles Barkley said the Phoenix Suns “stink,” ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith called them “soft” based on what the “NBA people” are saying as he put it.

The Phoenix Suns' star guard reportedly listed the Denver Nuggets as a possible landing spot amid trade rumors.

There is NBA action on Monday, Jan. 6 and that includes a contest with the Phoenix Suns taking on the Philadelphia 76ers at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal referenced the no-trade clause in his contract, stating his control over any potential moves.

"The Suns meanwhile, would need to have Bradley Beal waive his no trade clause. Sources told ESPN that the Heat have no desire to take back the $110 million owed to Beal and that Phoenix would need to find a third team to get involved to make a deal work."

The Phoenix Suns made a shocking move on Monday after moving Bradley Beal to the bench. Could it be a move to make him waive his no-trade clause amid recent trade rumors?

Even before Jimmy Butler's suspension, Stephen A. Smith believed that Bradley Beal should be open to a trade to the Miami Heat from the Phoenix Suns.

Now that the Miami Heat have started exploring the trade market for Jimmy Butler, one potential option they won't consider is taking back Bradley Beal
