The Bulls have been working the phones before the trade deadline. The post Bulls Engaged in Trade Talks for $251 Million All-Star: Report appeared first on Heavy Sports.

According to NBA insider Brian Windhorst of ESPN, the Chicago Bulls have discussed a Bradley Beal trade with the Phoenix Suns. Beal has a no-trade clause

Will the Chicago Bulls make a trade ahead of the NBA's trade deadline on Feb. 6? The latest Bulls rumor ties them to a 3x All-Star.

Beal, 31, is on one of the worst contracts in NBA history. The Suns star is in the third year of a five-year, $251 million back-loaded contract, and has a no-trade clause. It would be very interesting to see the Bulls willingly take on Beal's contract, as it would likely put them in a very dangerous position going forward.

During the Hoop Collective discussion, Windhorst’s ESPN colleague Tim Bontemps also questioned why the Bulls would be motivated to swap out LaVine for Beal, given the limited draft assets the Suns could offer as sweeteners and the All-Star caliber season LaVine is having so far this year (24.0 PPG on .512/.444/.792 shooting).

As the Phoenix Suns work to regain momentum in the NBA regular season, reports suggest that Bradley Beal could be involved in a potential blockbuster trade. One of the major trades reportedly being discussed during this NBA transfer window involves the Phoenix Suns and the Miami Heat in a potential deal centered around Jimmy Butler.

The Bulls right now are absolutely involved in conversations with the Suns involving the possible Jimmy Butler trade situation. It’s not that Jimmy Butler would end in Chicago,
