No Trade Clause

Bradley Beal currently has a No-Trade clause which means he cannot be traded by the Suns unless he approves it.

Implicit No Trade Clause

Bol Bol cannot be traded unless he approves the trade. Since he was re-signed for one year (or two years, with a second-year player/team option), he has the ability to veto a trade. If any player who re-signed for one year approves a trade during the 2024/25 league year, he will have Non-Bird rights at the seasons end instead of Early Bird or full Bird rights. Any player who approves a trade will retain his veto ability on his new team, and would have to consent to any subsequent deal during the 2024/25 season.
