In the last couple weeks, there has been much chatter surrounding Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal<\/a>. It is being reported that Jimmy Butler<\/a> wants to land in Phoenix<\/a>, and that would likely involve needing Beal\u2019s contract to be moved (perhaps to a third team). The problem is, Beal has a no-trade clause in his deal that he would have to waive. Also, Beal, along with Jusuf Nurkic<\/a>, were recently benched by Suns<\/a> head coach Mike Budenholzer. They were replaced in the starting lineup with Ryan Dunn<\/a> and Mason Plumlee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Basketball sports writer Zach Lowe recently tweeted about Beal, but it had nothing to do with the drama surrounding him. His innocuous tweet has been responded to with research.<\/p>\n

Zach Lowe Was Curious About Bradley Beal Tying His Shoelaces<\/h3>\n

Lowe, formerly of ESPN, tweeted about Beal on Friday. It had nothing to do with the trade rumors or benching though. It instead how to do with his shoes becoming untied.<\/p>\n

\n

After watching several recent Phoenix Suns games, I have a very important question: Why are Bradley Beal's shoes coming untied multiple times per game? Some working member of the media needs to investigate. He has to lead the league in in-game shoe-tying instances per 36 minutes.<\/p>\n
