Three-time NBA All-Star Bradley Beal has been in a standoff of sorts with the Phoenix Suns for nearly this entire year.

As the Suns hoped to pull off a significant move of sorts around the trade deadline, Beal’s unwillingness to waive his no-trade clause prevented them from doing so. The Suns ended up not reaching their full potential and pulling the plug on the superteam centered around Beal, Devin Booker and Kevin Durant, who they traded to the Houston Rockets.

As confirmed by the Miami Herald’s Barry Jackson on Sunday, who had teased an enormous move the previous evening that left fans perplexed, the Heat could be eyeing Beal.

“Now that the cat is out of the bag, Beal was the player I was referencing last night when people started pleading for details I wasn’t authorized to offer yet,” wrote Jackson. “He’s still “interesting” because he shot a very impressive 49.7 percent (38.6 on threes) while averaging 17 ppg. But Bucks, trying to appease Giannis, could very well be more desperate than other potential suitors like Miami.”
