Milwaukee Bucks' fans do not appear to be willing to part with Khris Middleton in order to bring in Phoenix Suns' star Bradley Beal.

The Bucks could turn to one of these six teams as a trade partner for Pat Connaughton so that they can then acquire Bradley Beal.

Now, some insiders believe a recent NBA trade could lead the Bucks to discuss a trade for a pair of All-Stars. On Tuesday, the Phoenix Suns traded a 2031 first-round pick in exchange for three first-round picks. The widespread belief is that the Suns are aiming to package those three picks in a bigger trade for Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler.

A Jimmy Butler trade is complicated for the Suns and Heat. That is why the Bucks could finish the deal with Khris Middleton and Bradley Beal.

The Milwaukee Bucks are reportedly among the teams that have sniffed around Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler in a possible trade, but with the Phoenix Suns still pursuing him aggressively, there is a way that the Bucks could get in on a possible Butler deal without actually landing the mercurial forward.

As rumors intensify of the Suns positioning themselves to acquire Jimmy Butler from the Heat, Beal's future is up in the air.

PHOENIX -- In a season that has been riddled with inconsistencies, frustration, and a general lack of cohesiveness within the context of the Phoenix Suns roster - one thing is for sure. The Suns have to make a bold move.

Rumors of Bradley Beal potentially leaving the Phoenix Suns surfaced a couple of weeks ago, and now those whispers have grown louder. Speculation suggests he could be on his way to joining an NBA Cup championship team.

The Phoenix Suns are looking to find a way to trade Bradley Beal to a team who wants his contract and skill for a Playoff push. The team is trying everything they can to acquire Jimmy Butler, but they can't do anything until they find a destination for Beal.

If the Milwaukee Bucks trade for an All-Star in the $50 million range, that player is more likely to be Bradley Beal than Jimmy Butler.

The NBA trade deadline is on Feb. 6, so between now and then there will be no shortage of rumors to keep us entertained. We've already seen a few trades go through, as the Brooklyn Nets jettisoned both Dennis Schroder and Dorian Finney-Smith in exchange for draft capital from the Warriors and Lakers,
