As he left the arena Thursday night, Beal didn’t sound like someone ready to give in. His role has changed. He has not.

The only way Phoenix can trade the star guard is if he approves of the team. He's got to waive the clause, which means he'd be in favor of the team he's landing with. However, ESPN analyst and insider Brian Windhorst recently gave the verdict as to whether the guard will waive his no-trade clause.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal had another impressive outing off the bench on Thursday, going for 25 points and seven rebounds on 11 of 16 from the field in a win over the Atlanta Hawks. That was Beal's second 25-point outing since he was removed from the starting lineup earlier this month.
