Speaking with The Arizona Republic at length, Bartelstein said, “the reports that are out there are created out of thin air,” that Beal would lift his no-trade clause if Milwaukee, Denver, Miami or the Los Angeles Lakers were trade destinations. “Brad’s entire focus has been and is on getting healthy with his ankle and helping turn things around for the Suns,” Bartelstein said.

I was struggling to understand Milwaukee’s apparent interest in Beal considering how much salary/ how many pieces they’d have to dump to get him. If they’re out, as we heard on the latest #haynesbriefs, things definitely get trickier – 8:41 PM

Would Jimmy Butler to Phoenix (with Bradley Beal out) make the Suns a title contender?
I’m genuinely asking. There seem to be a lot of people who think so. It would be an upgrade on the nights Butler brings his A game, but I’m skeptical of contender status. – 11:28 AM

Mike Budenholzer is expecting Bradley Beal (ankle) to play today against Cleveland.
As for Jusuf Nurkic, he’ll remain in Phoenix for the remainder of the road trip as he’s listed as “return to competition reconditioning.”

“Having said that, I never operate in terms of absolutes, meaning that we would never say there would never be a trade that you would not consider,” Bartelstein continued. “You always keep an open mind like everyone does in all aspects of their life, and so if something was to come around that you were truly excited about, you always have to consider those things.” Bartelstein added, “At this point, there has not been one conversation about a trade because again, his focus again has been on getting healthy and making it work in Phoenix.” -via Arizona Republic / January 22, 2025
