Jimmy Butler is still in play. He is reportedly unwilling to sign an extension with the Warriors.

Man, I gotta give Butler credit for working the system. I just hope we don't give away the farm, or that this deal falls through.

I hope the Suns have other irons in the fire, such as trading Nurkic. Banking on trading for Butler is risky business.

Totally agree. I feel like having Booker and KD, and being under the second apron would be way better than trying to big three our way forward. Unless that third guy is a big that can rim protect and play his ass off defensively.

The Suns would need a miracle to trade Beal, but we shall see.

It might be easier to trade Nurkic and/or Allen.

I question a player’s judgement if he doesn’t want to play with Steph. He’s the most unselfish superstar this generation.

I tend to agree, but there must be a boatload of maneuvering out there we know nothing about.

Also, would the Warriors give Butler an extension?

Looking at the haul the Kings got for this trade, makes you wonder if Dallas was looking to offload Luka just to get rid of a problem child.
Again you aren’t using logic. Dallas could hate him like he was a demon and that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t get max value for him.

I really don’t understand why you want to give up more assets and an extension to a 35 year old

The Suns went this direction, not me. I can understand their thinking though if they want to make a run at the playoffs.
