The Phoenix Suns Are One Step Closer To Jimmy Butler After Pick Swap Trade With Utah
The Phoenix Suns added more assets to pursue Jimmy Butler in a deal with the Utah Jazz on Tuesday, sending a 2031 first-round pick for three first-round picks in return.
Brendon Kleen and Ben Garcia react to the big move, what it means for a potential Butler deal, and the latest with Bradley Beal and his no-trade clause.

Good call Brendan
We have six pics we unlocked the other three somehow
We can trade our 26 pick if you want now
Deandre Ayton. Trash. Good point, the draft is a gamble itself
If we don’t win now. None of this means anything
The 31st the one we sent out was unprotected not good for us
A former sun Danny Ange
I remember when Danny Angel hit Mario with the ball in the face I was crazy
Breaking news
Brandon times two kudos
Brandon do the Cookie Monster add lol
Hi guys
Lol
Agree 100 percent with Ben. Draft is a crap shoot. You get 3 first rounders in exchange for one, count me in.
Beal not the problem, but big 3 not working so might as well trade him and kd honestly.
Have to credit the Suns for their effort and willingness to make trades. Even if they don't get Jimmy, they are willing to take risks.
Dang it howd I miss this premiere? We have been a major player in trades over the past few years.
Ainge loves unprotected frps.
I legitimately appreciate ishbia for trying to make trades to make this team
Better. I just don’t think butler is going to push us over the hump. We’re selling our future for the next 6 years for at best a second round exit.
Our team is to old. Now bring in another old dude who is a straight drama queen? I'm good. Trade beal and Durant for some young studs in the league and make this team more athletic and big.
I don't think the Bucks could trade for Beal unless they ship Lillard, which is not happening
The Jazz are betting on us sucking in 2031. I wouldn't bet in it. Once our big three are gone, Ishibia has proved his willingness to pay for talent. Bet on him signing more big name free agents. Anything is possible, but this could end up being mid or late pick for UT which would make this a coup for the Suns
Man the suns are completely ruining there franchise for years to come to assemble a roster of older broken down "Superstars " . 1st round elimination is all they will get.
I got a feeling with the Suns luck that pick in 2031 going to Utah will be a consensus generational prospect hahaha!
Yall excited and tend to forget that Beal could just say nah im not getting traded lol
Heat doesn't want Beal's contract. The team taking Beal, is the team that should want draft compensation. Bucks is also a double apron team so they have to manuever to get under it. Lastly Middleton is $31m whereas Jimmy and Beal are in the 50m range.
Bucks fans offended in their subreddit that Beal is being proposed dumped to them. A Beal and Dame defensive backcourt.
Sure Heat will ask for the picks, but Jimmy only has eyes for PHX. MIA can't really deal Jimmy to any other team. No need to waste the picks to MIA. The picks should really be paid to the teams for Suns dumping Beal's contract or taking Nurk.
Brendon is that trustworthy voice you need when going to bed.
What yall gonna do when you find out Jimmy is worse than Beal. He sucked all year and injuries because he's old. Suns first team to have no present and no future lol
The picks are likely to sweeten taking on Beal contract
Bucks are gonna be worse with Beal lol
Isn’t this your job Brendon. What’s Ben talking about
We are officially throwing away our whole future, if we don’t win a chip trade my goat dbook to the rockets so he can flourish
im a heat fan, you guys are so funny. be careful with jimmy he chooses when he wants to play in regular season.
Anyone but butler pls..he has attitude probs
