I didn't watch any Philly or Wash last year. He's a PG, right?? Highlights show a lot of ball handling.

Did a bit more research, he was the PG on that 28-2 Baylor team. He's only 24 and has a really tight handle. Looks very slippery and crafty. At 6-2 he looks a bit like Deangelo Russel to me.
Go Suns!

Butler's an intriguing name, if that's confirmed. Good young player to take a flier on, liked him coming out of the draft a few years ago.

I would be very pleased with adding Butler.

I’m impressed with your ability to seem to watch as many of these kids as you do…. Are you just some sicko with 24/7 basketball going on 3 TVs simultaneously? I’m waaay to adhd to do that lol.

I liked him out of college too…thought he was a steal when the Jazz got him round 2…but he’s bounced around a lot. Did play well with Philly last year, though that’s just looking at stats. I didn’t watch end of season Philly who was absolutely tanking, so take note of that.

He was the one guy Split mentioned that I knew nothing about.

Interesting. So who was he talking about? He has shot down almost every name thrown his way.

I can't wait until he makes a big play and Kevin Ray proclaims "THE BUTLER DID IT!"

Important question: do the Suns think he's the lesser brother of Jimmy Butler?

If we can't get Giddey, I wonder if one of them would be enough to get Sexton from Charlotte? I have no idea why the Jazz wanted Nurkic, aside from maybe Sexton was too impactful to winning. But Sexton would fit in well with Booker and Green I think.

I wouldn't mind sexton but you can't play him beside those two he's too small. If they're committed to Book and Green I prefer we use it to get someone with size. Also, the Hornets coach was gushing about him so doubt he's going anywhere.

Sexton would be a very solid bench guard.

Ya I think Charlotte wanted Sexton. I think getting a big forward who can score would be the best addition.

We may have met our quota for how many times we’re legally allowed to trade with one particular team in a single calendar year.

I kid.
