Bradley Beal and Jimmy Butler will forever be tied together after this. The Phoenix Suns were looking to acquire Butler from the Miami Heat, but they needed to move Beal to clear the way for that to work financially.

Last month, the Suns traded Josh Okogie and three second-round picks to Charlotte for 7-footer Nick Richards, who was a backup to Williams, and a second-round selection. Richards became the starting center in his second game with the Suns after posting 21 points and 11 rebounds in his Suns debut on Jan. 18 at Detroit.
