Shams just now on ESPN's NBA Today: "The Phoenix Suns expect Kevin Durant to return to the lineup on Friday against the Jazz or Sunday vs. the Blazers."

Gotta say, that's probably the smoothest Ryan Dunn FT I have seen.

In a heartbeat. Anybody check the trade machine to see if there is a way for this to work?!

With KD and Beal out, it's the obvious thing to do against us, and sadly there are no adjustments made on who initiates the offense. Book lately has be point-Book.

Beal has been playing like the last five games as has our PG…. While Book has played some of his worst basketball of his career. The fact that at this point in his career he still doesn’t see doubles coming before it’s too late or never improved his 3 point shot is really frustrating.

Those aren’t Coach Bud issues… those are Devin Booker issues (not saying you’re saying they’re all Bud issues. Just a general point about Bud “ruining” Booker).

In a heartbeat if I thought we could turn this roster into a championship contender. But I am convinced that's not possible. IMO adding Butler would be a lot like when we went for Trevor Ariza. He'd be miserable playing with this soft-ass crew.

The Heat couldn't take back one of the Suns big three salaries. It would likely require a multi-team trade.

I don’t think it would be Ariza bad because Jimmy still has something left in the tank, but I have idea how this could happen and we’d have an even bigger/shorter logjam at SG/SF.

Oh yeah, Butler has always been a better player than Ariza but they were both tough competitors that usually raised the effort level of their teammates and were frustrated when that didn't happen. Ariza came to Phoenix and he lost the battle against our team culture, I believe the same would happen with Jimmy.

It hurts to even entertain the idea of a trading for a 35-year-old Jimmy Butler, but if the Suns did such a trade, one of the Suns big three would have to go.

I'm guessing the Suns would try to fix the chemistry issue in the trade.

IMO there is zero chance it's KD or Book. That means they would have to convince Beal to waive his NTC. One can dream.

Dreaming is free. Also, Butler can play power forward.
