According to NBA expert Marc Stein, the Phoenix Suns are very eager to acquire Butler, as he reports hearing a strong desire from the team’s side. However, the Suns face significant challenges in securing a deal.
To make a trade viable, the Suns would need to offload Bradley Beal’s hefty contract. Currently in the third year of a five-year agreement valued at $251 million, Beal’s performance has significantly declined, making his contract one of the least desirable in the NBA. He also possesses a no-trade clause, complicating matters further.

The Miami Heat are not interested in taking on Beal’s contract, which means the teams involved would need to find a third party willing to absorb it to facilitate a trade.
For Butler, the prospect of teaming up with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker in Phoenix is undoubtedly appealing, yet the feasibility of such a trade currently seems unlikely. However, the situation could evolve as the trade deadline draws nearer.
This season, Butler is earning $48.8 million and has an option for $52.4 million in the 2025-26 season. He is reportedly seeking a trade to a new team and a multi-year extension, which the Heat are reluctant to offer.
While the Suns are the most persistent in their pursuit of Butler, crafting a deal that satisfies all parties involved, including the Heat, is proving to be a formidable challenge.
