Not unless they trade booker or kd
Why the hell would anybody trade for Jimmy "Stage IV Cancer" Butler? Maybe the Suns can try to get James Harden, Kawhi Leonard and Joel Embiid to Phoenix also.
Warriors know LeBron will come and they can get jimmy ti not resign with heat at end of year . Butler and LeBron will be warriors .
Butler is about to be unemployed. He is a problem and he’s only wanting to play for the remainder of this season and start this madness all over again next season.
Warriors should go get KD. If not by this week, try again in the summer.
Please what’s the instrumental at 2:30 ?
The suns would be worse…
Shams and Malik such a nice duo
Trade Draymond😎
phoenis
Butler to Suns, KD to Warriors, Wiggins to heat
Cant they trade him overseas or sumting💯
No teams want that drama queen 😂😂😂
The Suns have absolutely no future, I don’t understand why you’d want to commit long term there.
Even at age 35, Jimmy Buckets has a lot more value than Bradley Beal (31). Beal kept the Wizards relevant, and we know he is a bucket. But beyond that, I do not see any value in Beal. And Beal has a no-trade clause. They will need to bring out all of their cards for this trade to go through.
Phx window closed after the finals loss. Send booker to Miami for draft picks. Butler to the clippers and Kd to washington. Beal remains a sun and rebuild mode. He will eventually be in the same position like in Washington.
At this point we’ll take Zion for Butler. I believe Heat Culture can influence Zion.
From one bad team to another. Nice move.
If the Suns were a person they'd be an idiot.
I'd be surprised If Dallas didn't make a run at Jimmy.
Playing both ways is crazy😂
Nobody cares 😐
Butler is poison anywhere he goes. Kyrie 2.0
Martin’s trash. That boy will be riding the bench all year.
Jimmy ain't worth the hype.
Bobby Marks with the great expert analysis.. GSW will do a trade.. or not.
Amazing job, give him a raise.
Breaking news: i want your stick
Watch Herro and Bam get traded 😂
Jimmy sucks free agent him 🤷🏽♂️
It would be cold if Draymond went to the Lakers🥶
Jimmy bout to get sent home for the season
If were meant to be, Phoenix would already made a a deal already. But they got nothing.
Jimmy don’t want to be coached that’s why he didn’t want to do warriors anymore
The suns will suck, whatever happens
Malika Andrews is terrible as a lead.
Butler to Phoenix
Beal + two second round pick (Phoenix, Miami) to Spurs
Vassel, Johnson + 2 1st round pick (Phoenix, Spurs) to Miami
Come to LA
Should have been the sun's have their eyes set on butler
Amnesty needed again
Is it just me, or does Shams talk so similarly as Woj?
jimmy heading back to philly is the best decision
I think the NO Pelicans are a potential trade partner with the Suns, or for Jimmy Butler outright. C J McCollum has not worked out as planned in New Orleans, and they have enough other "assets" to do something (except D Murray and Tre Murphy, they are staying put). The Pelicans might be made happy with Beale or Butler.
Saw Malika Andrew's immediately clicked off
What?! Grimes for Caleb Martin. Grimes is the way better player.
Just wanna know where my boy Zion going
The ONLY way Jimmy Butler goes to Phoenix now is if Phoenix trades KD, there is NO other option because NO one wants Bradley Beal and his ridiculous $110 million dollars remaining on his contract for the next 3 seasons. So Phoenix’s only other big trade chip left after Beal is KD, Bookers contract is too large to move at 162 million. So it has to be KD or NO trade is happening period!!!

He's not that guy, he's never been that guy. He doesn't make a difference
Pat Riley is old school and VERY stubborn. So Pat Riley is NOT trading Jimmy Butler for pennies. So unless Miami gets a KD caliber player in return, a Butler trade is NOT going to happen. Pat Riley wants star players on short term contracts. So unless Miami gets what they want, they will NOT trade Jimmy just to make Jimmy happy. Pat Riley wants a “quality” player in return plus 2 or 3 draft picks. So if Phoenix REALLY wants Jimmy Butler, then they almost have to trade KD. No one wants Bradley Beal. So it has to be KD if Phoenix is going to make this work out.
