Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal told ESPN about where he stands with his no-trade clause. Contrary to popular belief, his stance is not new.

At the trade deadline last month, when the Suns needed to find a new home for Bradley Beal to complete a Jimmy Butler trade, there was no deal to be made. Part of that was a limited market for Beal, but a more significant issue was Beal having a no-trade clause that he would have to waive for any deal to get done.
