he only wants the suns cause they are willing to offer a max
Gambo said Beal would be willing to waive his no trade clause for Chicago. Butler will be a Sun soon guys buckle up
Why are you guys complicating the trade? The only problem is the bieal doesn’t want to sine his waiver to go anywhere. It’s not Jimmy. He’s done everything. This power has even lost money. What do you want him to do you all should forget about trades till front office fix Beal issue with the NO trade clause
A firsty for KO? That's a bit of a stretch, Mr. Kleen. The Raptors also got the 14th pick in the 2022 draft, Ochai Agbaji, who is 24 years old, 6'5" with a 6'10". wingspan scoring 11ppg on 40% from distance. Agbaji is generally considered the primary acquisition. As I recall, the pick they sent the Jazz was the 29th pick in 2024 which turned into Isaiah Collier. ✌
Jimmy butler for ayton and a pick
No teams are gona trade for him if he communicated he doesn’t wanna be there because he’s just gonna cause problems, Miami will be forced to trade to PHX, they’re gonna wait until the end of the deadline and drag out every possible outcome
wtf you clowns want butler for? Another crybaby on the roster? He is not an improvement over Beal. He’s definitely not as good of a scorer. Don’t get me wrong, Beal is trash too but this is just a dumb idea.
And Butler is older. Beal with all his shortcomings, has been a pro. He hasn’t been a problem. He took the benching and did his job. Keep Beal and deal with this after the season is over. Jimmy Butler is not fixing our problems. If anything, break it up and start the rebuild now.
Jimmy for 20M/Y and a PF big who can shoot the light out for another 20M/Y would take ☀️ to the promised land. 50+M/Y for a Jimmy is over. This is not 2020
Trade.Beal and nurkic to Lavine and vucivic
Be happy, this is probably the best Suns roster for the next 5+ years…
I can't watch these two anymore…its hard man, maybe brenden but def not the other guy…horrible speaking points, generally annoying
Dude he’s been wearing other team’s colors and throwing games and you want them to show him grace? 😂. all he had to do was suck it up until feb 6 at the longest. Miami wants to send him to phoenix, they just need to find a place for Beal..
This guy on the right remains incredibly delusional.
