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.

"The Suns seem to be in desperation mode, sitting under .500 and outside of the Western Conference Play-In picture. Butler would be about as perfect a fit between Kevin Durant and Devin Booker as you could find, as he has the ability to take on tough defensive assignments and also handle the ball," wrote Sam Vecenie.
