The Washington Wizards had a very active front office during the 2025 NBA trade deadline which ended last Thursday. While the Wizards made numerous trades, sometimes the trades that don’t happen create just as many headlines.
Yesterday, Ramona Shelburne and Brian Windhorst of ESPN reported that the Phoenix Suns were trying to facilitate trades that would send Jimmy Butler to them from the Miami Heat and send Bradley Beal to Miami, or another team. However, Beal has a no-trade clause, which he exercised to prevent a move to Miami. Ultimately. Butler was traded to the Golden State Warriors while Beal remained with Phoenix.
