The NBA trade deadline draws closer by the day, and as always, the transaction cycle remains headlined by the same small group of players. On Monday, the Miami Heat suspended Jimmy Butler indefinitely after he walked out of a shootaround upon receiving the news that he would be benched.

The Phoenix Suns' pursuit of Jimmy Butler could be hurt by the size of the trade market for Bradley Beal, according to ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

It has been reported that Butler’s preferred landing spot is in Phoenix so that he can pair up with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Of course, that leaves Bradley Beal as the odd man out and if the Suns want Butler, they are going to have to find a team willing to take on Beal’s massive contract.
