Current trade proposals from the Suns and Heat for Bradley Beal:
Suns = Deandre Ayton + salary filler or Chris Paul + Landry Shamet
Heat = Kyle Lowry, Duncan Robinson, multiple future first-round picks
Miami reportedly doesn’t want to include Tyler Herro in the deal. https://t.co/E9TXVFm3eG

Going from Herro to Beal for Miami is gonna be like Milwaukee going from Bledsoe to Jrue. Their numbers and playstyles may seem not far away from each other but once Beal actually plays you will see the difference immediately and people will wonder why it was ever a conversation

Beal as a 3rd option would be insane 💀 pic.twitter.com/dEYlcKtCCK

Don’t care what anyone says. If you can add Beal to a team with KD/Book WITHOUT trading Ayton?
A huge massive win man

Lifelong Suns fans, could you imagine if you told us 3 years that Brad Beal would be a Sun and he wouldn’t even be a top 2 player on our team??

I don’t think trading Ayton for Beal is that crazy

Brad Beal has a no trade clause. He controls his destiny. If he wanna be in Miami, he’ll end up there. If he wants Phoenix, he’ll be traded there. Doesn’t really matter which team has the better trade offer. No trade clause is a powerful tool.

The only reason the Suns are in this situation regarding Beal is because he wants to be in Phoenix & has the power to control things via No Trade Clause. This is why you make the KD trade. Devin Booker & Kevin Durant make Phoenix a prime opportunity and Destination. This is Real! pic.twitter.com/5BNczloSkI

Kevin Durant back in December called Bradley Beal a Hall of Fame player:
“I mean, he’s a Hall of Fame, All-Star scorer. Player, sorry. Calling him just a scorer is diminishing who he is.” pic.twitter.com/Nuq6REP8jr
