Beal is clearly a very, very good player but his massive contract and no-trade clause make moving him almost impossible, so head coach Mike Budenholzer opted to have his $50 million man come off the bench.

Shovelson’s trade proposal would send Beal and a Top 10 protected 2028 first-round pick to the Heat for Butler. Butler’s recent trade request and subsequent seven-game suspension prove the 2023 playoff wizard needs a fresh start.
