Going ALL IN For Jimmy Butler Is The RIGHT Move For Phoenix Suns
The Phoenix Suns just made a crazy deal with the Utah Jazz swapping first-round picks, and making the Suns more flexible when it comes to acquiring Jimmy Butler from the Miami Heat to pair with Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. This move has split the fanbase into one faction who is rooting for the double down, and others who are lamenting going all-in even more. Espo breaks down why one side is the right one, and taps into some history to prove his point,

Calling Deandre Ayton a bust after winning 64 games and going to the finals is BS. Devin Booker is just as responsible for losing to Luka and Giannis. Devin Booker sucks .
my brother! yes
Love Greta!
Ayton was not a bust though like Len, Chris’s, Jackson and bender! Those 4 were busts. Ayton was least mediocre and serviceable and did help the team! So don’t list Ayton as a bust
My god this topic has been ran to the ground. I’m so over it. To be honest Butler won’t even help this team get better. You really think Butler will curse out KD or Book for playing soft? Man please. I been a fan for over 30 years so I earned the right to say this… This team is ass. Hot ass..
You have the right to your opinion, but I believe this is the wrong move
Just because Sarver was a crap owner, it doesn't mean Ishbia doesn't suck in a different way. He's made Phoenix a destination to get overpaid – that doesn't help the team.
Jimmy has no trade clause get him
“He’s made Phoenix a destination for stars again”
How? He traded for one, drafted one and is now the only one willing to pay Butler a ton the next 3-4 years.
I agree Suns should go all in, but sayin they’re a destination is a stretch. Players just want their money (understandably). Need to see a lot more to think they’re a destination.
I am very thankful for having an owner like this. Just not thankful for the players mailing it in every night.
Yall Suns fans actually want Butler that bad?
Not gonna make much of a difference.
Lmao!!! What makes ya think that every star wants to go to phoenix!?! Ya hilarious! You guys don’t have bench and even though butler goes to the suns! Next year y’all be then oldest player in the league behind the lakers! Ya will regret trading ya draft picks!
Bring Cam home
Trade Beal
Yes sir 🫡
This is going to blow up in their faces, but that is still the most Suns thing ever!
It’s not necessarily that it’s the right move, but it’s almost a forced hand now. I do commend the fact that we do have an owner that does care and wants to win now.
1 problem!! U have the Worst Contract in the NBA in Bradley beal w a No Trade Clause. What ruins franchises is trading for Players like Beal amd a 35plus old Butler! And remember Ayton didnt hurt the franchise! Whoever passed on Luka is wat did it!
When she did this I so pumped get em greda
Great concept but these are the wrong players! How much and how long can you possibly be successful with multiple “stars” over 35? The team doesn’t have the chemistry to win now so what bet are the suns really making? Win next year? In 2 years the window may very well be closed given the age of Durant and Butler. Jimmy is older than Beal, these factors matter!!
The suns are using the Lakers recipe, but we’re not in LA! Now we’re scapegoating players and coaches left right and center when the truth is this is not a cohesive group. The suns are lacking quality ROLE PLAYERS. Guys like cam Johnson and Mikal Bridges (who is 2nd in the league in +/-). Which role player on the suns roster can make that kind of impact? I’ll wait. As inconsistent as Ayton was, on that suns roster that had CHEMISTRY even he was superior to every role player the suns have currently.
Big 3s are dead. That’s the 2010 method, I need suns fans to wake up it’s 2025. Butler and KD are well past their primes and so is this strategy for winning championships. Anything less with this salary is unacceptable and we’re FAR away from any championship parade.
Bradley Beal is not the problem
Haha he’s so tight you can hear his ass cheeks clinch
Going in for Jinny is not the right move… it is overpaying for a declining, immature, unprofessional player. They still chasing names instead of true team building, actually going after players in the positions that you need, bradley beal is not being traded… he spent more money on a worse product.. he exploded a team and sent it in free fall…
It’s great that Ishbia is aggressive but he is reckless… we will end up losing Book… KD won’t end his career here.
Suns knows they can make playoff without Jimmy but if you have one guy you know that deliver a championship next to Durant it is Jimmy. Jimmy is fearless and SGA cannot take Jimmy to school for 4 games.
