What Exactly Is Holding Back a Jimmy Butler Deal For the Phoenix Suns?
Jimmy Butler wants the Phoenix Suns and the Phoenix Suns want Jimmy Butler… so what’s the catch?
Brendon Kleen and Ben Garcia break down the three obstacles in the way of the Suns acquiring Butler: the Suns making their 2031 first-round pick available, Butler’s next contract, and a third team for Beal.

I MIGHT SWERE BEND THAT CORNER 👇🏼👂🏼
Let's go get marcus smart over Jimmy butler
Benjamin and Brendon Jimmy would help the Suns exponentially, I think Brad does not want to leave Phoenix, and how can you blame him. I think eventually he ends up a Sun. Great podcast, we need to build the right assets around KD and Book, you don’t trade generational players you build around them.👏🏀🙏
James Jones need to do something. It's a shame the Suns are this expensive and this bad. We shouldn't waste Book and KDs remaining years of good basketball
Beal should issue a Pat Riley-like statement: “I usually do not comment on rumors, but I will say this once and for all: I am NOT being traded this season.”
Suns as a team just don't work. Swapping Beal for Butler is more likely yielding the same result. It's time to rebuild the team by trading Durang when he still has value, and Beal if it's possible.
Everyone knows what is causing no trade. It is Heaps massive long-term contract with a no trade clause and his production not matching the massive contract. There is no third team that will trade for Beal. The Suns are stuck with him until his contract is expiring.
Bradley Beal, Greatest Sun ever! Says Heat’ fans.Beal get your bag from SUNS💰💰💰💰💰💰💰💰☀️🏀
We don’t want Beal ! The kings are rolling under Doug Christie
I would only do Butler for Beal straight up
WOAHHHHHH 🔥
No one wants Beal's current contract and no wants Butler's next contract or his BAD ATTITUDE…😒😒😒
Benjamin……tremendous look. Ditch the ball caps.
Yeah we absolutely need to keep that 2031 pick and not dig our future hole any deeper than it already is by trying to save a team that is hurtling towards an iceberg. It would only allow us to shuffle a few deck chairs at best anyway, for a ship that is already destined to sink.
And by time 2031 rolls around there's a decent chance we could be a bottom 3 team and who knows maybe there is another generational player like a Lebron or Wemby in that particular draft class.
