Heat Warned Against Making Move for Bradley Beal as Buyout Talks Emerge originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Miami Heat were expected to be buyers during this offseason's free agency and trade market, but have been fairly inactive.

Bradley Beal is "open to cooperating" on a potential buyout from his contract with the Phoenix Suns, Forbes' Evan Sidery reported on Friday.

With a buyout, Phoenix could stretch Beal's contract out over five years, much like the Bucks are doing with Damian Lillard.
