Mike Budenholzer wouldn’t reveal the starting lineup when asked if Bradley Beal was starting for Ryan Dunn considering he started the 2nd half for him Saturday against the Wizards.

Updated Jimmy Butler Trade Rumors: Heat suspend Jimmy Butler indefinitely, could Bulls take Beal?
It took all of 15 minutes from my previous update today for the Heat to suspend Butler indefinitely. That means five games until the trade deadline.

Phoenix Suns (23-21) have used 19 different starting lineups this season.
Will likely roll out 20th Monday vs. L.A. Clippers (26-19) as Ryan Dunn out with left ankle sprain.
Figure Bradley Beal will start for Dunn. Beal has never started a game with Richards in lineup. #Suns pic.x.com/IJC3eDSIzX – 1:49 PM

Hypothetical playoff series. Who are you taking: The Suns after trading Beal and their picks for Butler, or the Bucks after trading Middleton/Portis/Pat/picks for LaVine?
(personally my answer is the Bucks but just curious where people would stand on these teams) – 10:24 AM

If the Bulls could get the 2031 Bucks pick for Zach LaVine, plus one of those new Suns picks from Phoenix for taking on Bradley Beal, I’d view that as a pretty successful overall deadline.
Now, getting Beal to accept a trade to Chicago is another matter, but one issue at a time. – 10:08 AM

More on this storyline
However, cold-weather cities, including Chicago, are less attractive to him, the source said. If a team has a losing record and a chilly winter, it won’t be on Beal’s list. -via New York Times / January 27, 2025
Brian Windhorst: The Bulls right now are absolutely involved in conversations with the Suns involving the possible Jimmy Butler trade situation. It’s not that Jimmy Butler would end in Chicago, but they would get involved in the trade. Look I know this is going to get aggregated, I don’t know what to say, like if I’m talking about a three-team trade and Jimmy Butler is on one end, and it’s not going to Chicago, we’re talking about Bradley Beal, because the Suns can only trade Bradley Beal. -via YouTube / January 27, 2025
Brian Windhorst: The bottom line is that the Bulls and the Suns have talked and the concept of Bradley Beal ending up in Chicago has been discussed. I’m not saying it’s gonna happen I’m not saying it’s close or whatever, obviously Beal has a no-trade clause but, Bontemps, I just can’t believe that Chicago would do that deal. Maybe it’s never going to happen but it’s been discussed. -via YouTube / January 27, 2025
