NBA Trade Rumors: Bradley Beal's agent issues major update amid which impacts Suns' $146,396,031 star's pursuit 

Phoenix Suns star Bradley Beal's agent, Mark Bartelstein, has issued a major update on his agent's future with the Western Conference team. Bartelstein told ESPN that his high-profile client would not waive his 'no-trade' clause, which allows him to veto any deal that involved him.

The latest developments come amid the Suns benching Beal, presumably to force him out of Phoenix amid their reported pursuit of Jimmy Butler, who is potentially in the final season of a three-year $146,396,031 contract with the Miami Heat and has demanded a trade.

"There have been no discussions about trades with the Suns or any other team," Bartelstein said. "Bradley's total focus is on helping the Suns turn things around."

Beal is the only viable option to make that deal happen because of his $50,203,930 salary. However, the Suns would need the three-time NBA All-Star's go-ahead before they engage in discussions with him as a potential centerpiece of a trade framework.
