Bradley Beal will not waive his no-trade clause in a potential deal that would send the Phoenix Suns guard to the Chicago Bulls, per a report.

The Phoenix Suns and Chicago Bulls had ground-level talks about a Bradley Beal trade, reports ESPN's Brian Windhorst.

The Bulls, being in such a climate and also sporting a sub-.500 19-27 record, are not among trade destinations Beal would approve.
