East Team Is Reportedly Open To Taking On Bradley Beal’s Contract

It’s no secret that the Phoenix Suns want to part ways with Bradley Beal, but they aren’t able to.

Beal is one of the few NBA stars lucky enough to have a no-trade clause written into his contract, which means he gets to approve or disapprove any potential trade that moves him.

According to Evan Sidery, the Chicago Bulls are “open” to taking on Beal’s contact, but it would require three first-round picks.

“Keep an eye not only on the Suns’ picks acquired from the Jazz being traded, but also the Bucks’ 2031 1st if they get involved for Zach LaVine,” Sidery wrote on X.

The Suns just converted a first-round pick into three with a smart and strategic trade with the Utah Jazz last week.

Are they willing to turn around and give those picks up in order to make the Bulls happy?

The Suns are attempting to land Jimmy Butler but they cannot do it with Beal’s contract on the books.

Moving Beal will likely require three or four teams getting involved in a massive deal that moves around multiple players.

The Suns may have to do something drastic, like give up three first-round picks, in order to get what they want.

Of course, none of this will happen unless Beal agrees to it.

Would he be happy playing for the Bulls, especially if they are without Zach LaVine?

If Beal doesn’t like the idea, he is going to say no and the Suns will be back at square one and trying to figure out what to do.

The Bulls are open to taking Beal, but he still has the final say.
