Fans have taken notice of the ongoing speculation, and emotions spilled over at a recent Suns game. Beal’s wife, Kamiah Adams-Beal, had to move her children away after a Sun's fan "spent the entire night heckling" her husband.

Katz reports that, despite his apathy towards a Bulls trade, Beal would be open to being dealt away from the Suns, provided he is sent to a “winning team.” He finds cold-weather destinations less appetizing. The Bulls, being in such a climate and also sporting a sub-.500 19-27 record, are not among trade destinations Beal would approve.

NBA Trade Deadline around the corner, many teams are now setting up to make significant moves to improve their rosters. One key player who is expected to be traded before the deadline is none other than disgruntled Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler.
