In the last couple weeks, there has been much chatter surrounding Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal. It is being reported that Jimmy Butler wants to land in Phoenix, and that would likely involve needing Beal’s contract to be moved (perhaps to a third team).

The Phoenix Suns have been nothing but disappointing this season. Fans believe the majority of the blame belongs on Bradley Beal and Jusuf Nurkic. As a result, the Suns grew impatient with the duo and moved them to the bench. While Nurkic's demotion was expected, some were shocked to see Beal leading the second unit.

As he left the arena Thursday night, Beal didn’t sound like someone ready to give in. His role has changed. He has not.
