A Book-Jimmy-Dunn-KD-Richards lineup would be sweet as hell. How can anyone look at this lineup and not see the potential? I don’t get it. Especially next year when Dunn could take big steps forward with his game. He already has and it’s his damn rookie year.

It would be filthy…. As long as KD can ring in those dumb ass cross court passes.

Man it was refreshing watching Richards go for 20pts/19rebs. The guy is just a beast and and really dominates the paint

Beal won’t waive his NTC to go to Chicago. Really don’t see any team willingly trading for him that he would agree to go to.

It certainly reminds Jeremy of somebody.

Well damn…



Ngl, my gut telling me he comes to us. All this is feeling a little Wojish. I still remember Woj would nonstop say we didn’t have enough, and then the deadline came around and he kept mentioning the nets didn’t want to trade KD but if they did, it definitely wouldn’t be to Phoenix. I’m probably wrong, logic definitely says I’m wrong, I just have a feeling Butler will be a sun when it’s all said and done.

We’ll see. I still think this ends by the end of the week.

I know I'd be lowballing the Heat on offers now.

But being honest, if Beal can keep it together the rest of the season I'd rather keep him in this role and hope a playoff run convinces him to stick in a bench role. Or just try and trade him in the offseason when it may be easier.

That feels like Miami isn’t the problem and we haven’t found a spot for Beal yet

Achieving zen is realizing that we actually play pretty well as a team now that Beal comes off the bench. We don't need Jimmy Butler. He doesn't make us a contender, and we are fine as a low-tier playoff team without him.

I have zero interest in being a low tier playoff team. Jimmy is likely the only move that gives us a semblance of a chance…no moves means we will lose in the play-in or 1st round. I’d much rather move KD for our 2025 and 2027 picks back and a couple lesser prospects(The Amen Thompson dream is over) than have round 1 be our ceiling.

Wow. What an attitude. You have to be kidding me with this complacent sad take. You and Kellan Olsen can get together and have cry parties and get out a good cry!

The suns absolutely have to make a big move.

They rather need to put their chips all in, or back all the way out. They have got to decide what direction they want to go. Staying the course is destined to crash this season and lead to diminishing returns on the assets in hand as they age.

Standing pat is not an option. And trading Nurkic for Duop Reath and filler ain't it either.

I'm sure they want to, but you can't make other teams do business. Which is where I think the ends up.
Love, Hurts.

We might be stuck with Beal, but there are other moves we can make

Are there any trades out there that can transform this team from middle of the pack to a true title contender? At this point I’d say just hold onto the picks and blow this whole thing up in the offseason.

Jimmy is the only move that has a chance to make us a contender…but I think there are other moves that would make the team better now while also not hurting the future.
