Bradley Beal Doesn't Want To Uproot Family Again By Being Traded
Today at 08:39 AM
By all accounts, the Phoenix Suns still want to trade for Jimmy Butler. In order to do so, Bradley Beal would need to approve a trade. Nothing has changed there. But there now some insight into Beal's hesitancy to approve a trade.
When Beal was traded to the Suns, his entire family moved from Washington to Phoenix with him. Now, Beal is hesitant to uproot his family again, two years later. That's why it would have to be a perfect situation for the veteran guard to approve a trade.
For Beal to approve a trade, he'd be looking for a team that is in a winning situation in a desirable city. Reportedly, Beal would prefer to stay in a warm-weather city, but the basketball situation can trump that desire.
Despite the fact that the Miami Heat would fit Beal's criteria, the Heat don't want to take on Beal's contract. Miami is seeking to keep as much cap flexibility for 2026 and beyond as possible in a potential Butler trade.
