The Milwaukee Bucks have won four straight games as the trade deadline is two weeks from Thursday. Rumors have begun swirling regarding Khris Middleton's future with the team. While the noise could be emanating from the front offices of the Miami Heat and Phoenix Suns,

Beal essentially holds the keys to a massive trade that would net the Suns the talents of Miami Heat superstar Jimmy Butler. Beal owns a no-trade clause and without his full agreement on a deal, one of the biggest trades in recent league history can't go down.

As he left the arena Thursday night, Beal didn’t sound like someone ready to give in. His role has changed. He has not.

They could trade for someone like Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler, but acquiring him will require draft assets the Bucks don’t have. NBA Insider Marc Stein reported on The Stein Line that the Bucks will try to chase another star who wouldn’t cost as much instead.

While Jimmy Butler and Bradley Beal might bring star power and scoring punch, they aren’t the best fits for the Milwaukee Bucks’ immediate needs.

Will Jimmy Butler, thought to be a possible Suns' trade target, remain with the Miami Heat after his trade request and his seven-game suspension imposed by Heat president Pat Riley? Will Bradley Beal's no-trade clause and the $110 million left on his contract keep him in Phoenix?

Beal To Bucks Connection Non-Existent There is no trade imminent that involves sending Bradley Beal to the Bucks.

After rumors about Bradley Beal joining the Milwaukee Bucks ramped up, a new report has shut them down, describing their connection as non-existent.
