The Phoenix Suns Are Aggressively Trying To Trade For Jimmy Butler And MORE Suns News

[@sidneysalcido9314]

Honestly Geek, I do not think it is an issue of getting a player to help. This is a mindset and culture issue. There is something wrong "inside" the Suns organization that is causing the Suns to not have any passion or a winning attitude. I cannot say what it is. But it seemed to start in that Dallas series three years ago. From there, the Suns just have gone through serious malaise issues where they don't have the care for their fans to give us a winning culture. Even the Lakers are better than us with that, even though they are also disfunctional. But they at least fight. I am not sure why this Suns culture could go through three coaches and some very good players and not figure it out. It isn't fair to our new owner, nor is it to us fans. But, GOOD SHOW nontheless. You at least keep me interested in this team. Thanks.

"You at least keep me interested in this team. Thanks." That means a lot 🙏

Bru we actually better get Jimmy. Not js bc of it being a big upgrade but this is messing up the team’s chemistry and if we don’t get him are season could end just from these rumors

[@MANJUA-z2c]

I don't even know what to say.

[@SunsGeek]

Right lol 😂

[@michaelevans-im5fv]

so the suns want another old guy believen that will get you a chip really lmao

[@SunsGeek]

Yes

[@toddpeterson5226]

I hope we get jimmy In the trade, but if we do I really hope we don’t sign him to a big max extension. We need to get out from under the tax apron so we can actually make other good trades!

[@SunsGeek]

I hear you but I believe it's unlikely the Suns would go after Jimmy if he's just a rental ya know?

[@toddpeterson5226]

@ i think you’re right. Either way, his contract would be better than Beal’s since he wouldn’t have a no trade clause, so it would still be an upgrade!

[@SunsGeek]

@@toddpeterson5226 Yep! 👍

[@rubenpayanjr.]

Does anyone remember the Kevin Johnson days? True Dog! Feels like the passion to win a chip is gone. Now it’s all about securing the bag and playing as little as possible. Sad to see the sport lose its magic.

I believe a good percentage of players want to win a championship sure they want money and all that but if you are in the league and not wanting a championship then you should be in a different league IMO

[@infernoinferno6358]

Is Jimmy Butler gonna save us ? I doubt it , he's old and he has no motivation. He will be just another star in the storage like the others in the past.

[@SunsGeek]

I think he would be even more motivated after leaving what appears to be a toxic situation in Miami.

[@infernoinferno6358]

@SunsGeek fingers crossed

Beal needs to go

[@Sawbucks23]

I would trade Booker for Butler + draft picks and get it done!

[@OhHaroDerp]

Trade a 28 for a 35 year old. Makes sense to trade away 7 years an athlete could still provide and improve on 🙄

[@zunze28]

Good thing you are not James jones.

[@Colossus773]

No way. Booker is a Phoenix Sun for life. “ I like you but you’re crazy”

[@gitworldyoungworld1127]

Nah I would trade Kd to okc for some young talent

[@sidneysalcido9314]

This won't happen, but I have to admit something. It seems that Book, especially since the Dallas series a few years back (but I even saw it in their championship run verses Milwaukee), goes on these time-periods where he just doesn't put effort into his play. He will have moments where he snaps out of it and plays well, getting us fans excited. Then, back to these several games where it is just not there. I mean, maybe HE is a problem, and what causes these lapses in Suns focus and play. I don't know. It just is so frustrating to have the kind of talent we have and to have so little inspiration to play the game. So, I understand the sentiment of wanting to trade him.

[@TheVermilion99]

No one would want Beal's contract and he has a no trade clause, so the only logical thing to do if you want Butler is to trade KD and ask for some picks from Miami, but i wouldnt do that because even though Jimmy is really good and he's a dog, he's old and has always been a drama queen

[@SunsGeek]

We are not trading Kevin Durant
