The 2024-25 season isn’t going the way Suns would have wanted. Despite having stars like Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal, they have found it difficult to find consistency in terms of winning games. The Suns wanted to change the fate, and add one or two superstars, including Jimmy Butler to their roster during the trade deadline.<\/p>
While it was later revealed that Kevin didn’t want to get traded mid-season<\/a>, Beal made it to quite a few headlines. He was benched following a blowout loss <\/a>to the Pacers in January this year. However, despite having everything gone wrong for both Beal and the Suns, the 31-year-old refused to waive his no-trade clause.<\/p> The Suns have continued their struggles since then, but Beal has been very optimistic. Recently, he admitted that he has several reasons to smile, which includes his no-trade clause. Beal’s unfazed attitude didn’t sit well with the fans, who believe that his underperformance this season has been one of the biggest reasons for the Suns’ struggles. <\/p> In one of his recent interviews, he told ESPN, “This game is fun. I try not to let nobody take the joy out of it for me. It’s very hard. It’s hard. We’re all human beings, man. We have every right to shut down. We have every right to question what’s going on.” <\/em><\/p> He added, “You have every right to say, ‘Why me?’ But I feel like that just drags you down a little bit more than you need. I’m still playing in the NBA, I still have the best job in the world, and I still have my no-trade clause. So I’m smiling every day.”<\/em><\/p> The Suns’ fans took to X to slam him for the same. <\/p> Check out some reactions here:<\/strong><\/p>
