Suns guard Devin Booker was irate after an upset loss to the Hornets, only 24 hours after winning in Philadelphia.
As the Phoenix Suns explore ways to make a deal for Jimmy Butler, there has been no thought on Bradley Beal's part thus far about helping them facilitate
A day after Charles Barkley said the Phoenix Suns “stink,” ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith called them “soft” based on what the “NBA people” are saying as he put it. A team with Devin Booker, Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal that went into the season with championship aspirations shouldn’t have a losing record and be 12 th in the West even with a number of injuries.
The Phoenix Suns have been bandied about as a possible destination for Jimmy Butler, the disgruntled Heat star, but does a Bradley Beal package make sense for Miami?
Miami has suspended Jimmy Butler for conduct detrimental to the team and he's asked for a trade. We're looking at potential outcomes, what Butler's departure would mean for the Heat, and how this moment could shape the way he's remembered.
This team built around Devin Booker and Kevin Durant has not worked. Will Phoenix Suns owner Mat Ishbia spend on Jimmy Butler to find that out?
Jimmy Butler may now be trying to steer the trade bus in one particular direction. Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reported on Tuesday that executives involved say that the disgruntled Miami Heat star Butler has been making it “pretty obvious” that he has one desired trade destination.
"The Suns seem to be in desperation mode, sitting under .500 and outside of the Western Conference Play-In picture. Butler would be about as perfect a fit between Kevin Durant and Devin Booker as you could find, as he has the ability to take on tough defensive assignments and also handle the ball," wrote Sam Vecenie.
With the Phoenix Suns' latest embarrassing loss, it might be time to have an uncomfortable conversation soon on their long-term direction. What happens next in Phoenix?
Jimmy Butler has reportedly picked his preferred destination, but it seems like it won't be easy for him to be traded there.
Bradley Beal shouldn't be untouchable in a trade for the right team, especially if the Phoenix Suns include their 2031 draft pick.
