Evan Sidery of Forbes recently reported that the Phoenix Suns and Bradley Beal’s agent, Mark Bartelstein, are negotiating a buyout, which is expected to be finalized soon. Once the buyout occurs, Beal will evaluate his top options and choose a new team.

The Miami Heat had "exploratory dialogue" with the Phoenix Suns about acquiring shooting guard Bradley Beal before trade talks "ultimately collapsed," per <a href=" Stein and Jake Fischer for the Stein Line newsletter.

As confirmed by the Miami Herald's Barry Jackson on Sunday, who had teased an enormous move the previous evening that left fans perplexed, the Heat could be eyeing Beal.
