Haynes’ report follows that of Marc Stein, one other NBA insider, who urged the Bucks would goal Beal:
“League sources confirmed a report from Sam Amick of The Athletic from earlier this week that Milwaukee – not like Memphis – didn’t obtain any whispered messages meant to discourage the Bucks from buying and selling for Butler,” Stein stated.
“Whether or not this implies Milwaukee will ultimately change into a contender for Butler stays to be seen.

Beal primarily holds the keys to an enormous commerce that may internet the Suns the skills of Miami Warmth celebrity Jimmy Butler. Beal has a no-trade clause and with out his full settlement on a deal, one of many greatest trades in latest league historical past can’t fail.
