"The Suns are also known to be trying to extricate themselves from the final two years of Bradley Beal's contract after Beal, holding one of just full no-trade clauses in the NBA alongside LeBron James, snuffed out any Phoenix attempt to move him this season," NBA insiders Marc Stein and Jake Fischer reported Sunday.

The Phoenix Suns extended their six-game losing streak to seven after falling 133–95 to the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night, and guard Bradley Beal was under no illusions about how bad the L really was.

After the Suns’ 117-98 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Friday night, Beal decided to confront the speculation head-on. During the postgame press conference, he openly expressed his desire to remain in Phoenix despite all the noise surrounding his future.
