Part 4/6:
Adding another layer to the situation is Bradley Beal's complicated standing with the Suns. Despite his no-trade clause, which he is reluctant to waive, many are puzzled by his resistance to a deal that would potentially facilitate Butler’s arrival in Phoenix.

The complexities of his situation, including familial ties to the Suns' management, make it more complicated than the usual trade scenarios.
