The Chicago Bulls were rumored to be interested in taking on Bradley Beal’s contract as a third team in a deal involving the Suns and the Miami Heat on Monday.

Beal, 31, is on one of the worst contracts in NBA history. The Suns star is in the third year of a five-year, $251 million back-loaded contract, and has a no-trade clause. It would be very interesting to see the Bulls willingly take on Beal's contract, as it would likely put them in a very dangerous position going forward.

The Bulls right now are absolutely involved in conversations with the Suns involving the possible Jimmy Butler trade situation. It’s not that Jimmy Butler would end in Chicago,

The Bradley Beal to Chicago Bulls rumors were short-lived as Beal is expected to use his no-trade clause to veto any deal sending him to Chicago.

Bradley Beal will not waive his no-trade clause in a potential deal that would send the Phoenix Suns guard to the Chicago Bulls, per a report.

The Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls had ground-level talks about a Bradley Beal trade, reports ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

During the Hoop Collective discussion, Windhorst’s ESPN colleague Tim Bontemps also questioned why the Bulls would be motivated to swap out LaVine for Beal, given the limited draft assets the Suns could offer as sweeteners and the All-Star caliber season LaVine is having so far this year (24.0 PPG on .512/.444/.792 shooting).

Bradley Beal’s name has been in NBA trade rumors for almost the entire season as the Phoenix Suns have slipped down the Western Conference standings. There’s a catch: Beal is one of two players in the league with a no-trade clause, which he negotiated as part of his max contract with the Washington Wizards back in 2022. LeBron James is the other.
