Two teams widely rumored to be in the bidding for Jimmy Butler will attempt to demonstrate why they don't need the disgruntled superstar when the Phoenix Suns visit the Golden State Warriors on Friday night in San Francisco.
The Phoenix Suns are no strangers to trade discussions with rumors about Bradley Beal and Jimmy Butler circulating ahead of the Feb. 6 deadline, but
SAN FRANCISCO – Phoenix Suns coach Mike Budenholzer certainly believes Devin Booker is All-Star worthy. "He's clearly in our minds an All-Star," Budenholzer said after Wednesday's loss to the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Chris Finch and Jaden McDaniels were both ejected from the Timberwolves' win at the Phoenix Suns Wednesday night.
Booker has now only made the All-Star Game four times in his 10 NBA seasons. He is averaging 25.5 points, 6.7 assists and 4.0 rebounds while shooting 44.4% from the floor and 34.1% from 3-point range in 41 games. The Suns' lowly 24-22 record made it difficult for them to have two All-Star selections.
The Suns may feel like acquiring Butler is the only way to fix their broken roster. But they’d only be buying a big headache.
The NBA just made a major announcement about Devin Booker as the Phoenix Suns continue to battle through a tough stretch.
Minnesota Timberwolves All-Star Anthony Edwards wasn’t shy about reminding the Phoenix Suns and their fans about the winning streak he continued in Wednesday’s 121-113 win. Edwards held back head coach Chris Finch after he was ejected for arguing a call in the third quarter. Then, he had the last laugh.
Alexander-Walker was all over the place in Phoenix, and it meant everything to a team that was trying to find an identity.
Golden State and Phoenix will square off in a matchup of Western Conference opponents. The teams square off Friday for the first time this season.
The Suns now hold a 24-21 record and sit eighth in the West standings. Of course, their star trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal have been major parts of their recent turnaround but so has their addition of Nick Richards.
