This year's stunning NBA trade deadline was the busiest in league history. There were 63 players dealt in the week leading up to Thursday, including eight All-Stars. Ironically, one of the most important players along the way was one who stayed put: Bradley Beal.

The expectation is that Beal could change his mind under the right circumstances. Unfortunately for the Suns, though, their two most favorable trade partners are nowhere close to title contention. One of them is presently the worst squad in the league.
