Recent reports suggest that the Phoenix Suns are exploring a trade for Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat, with a proposed five-team deal involving the Suns, Bulls, Bucks, Heat, and Pistons. However, the Suns are facing difficulties due to their salary cap situation, as both the Suns and Heat are over the second apron, limiting their ability to aggregate player salaries for a trade. Additionally, Bradley Beal’s no-trade clause adds complexity, as he would likely need to be part of the deal for Butler. Despite these challenges, the Suns are still investigating various trade scenarios to land Butler in Phoenix.
