I always go to motorcyle sports for my basketball news.

I don't think Valanciunas is going to "shake up the Western landscape" but I'll take it. I'll take any changes at this point.

Man, the Nuggets must be SO embarrassed to have lost to us on Christmas day.

If you could also move Beal for Butler it’s not bad…
Gives us a young guard(Ivey) and adds some draft capital, plus some very serviceable players. I’d rather go blow it up mode if we trade Durant, but this is decent:
Jones/Booker/Butler/Washington/Gafford
Ivey/Allen/ONeale, Dunn, Plumlee
Naji Marshall adds a fun Nurk-Naji component haha

So they foresee us trading KD for another shooting guard? Why? Besides, it looks like Ivey broke his ankle last night.

Stop it, everybody. We’re not trading Beal for Butler, and even if we do, it’s with a lot of sweeteners.
It’s crazy how hot Suns fans are for this Beal/Butler swap. Oddly enough, there’s no enthusiasm for it among Heat fans. Go figure. :shrug:

It's just digging us a deeper hole... Butler isn't going to magically fix what ails this team.

Move KD, stretch and waive Beal. Rip it off like a band-aid.

The sweeteners were unspoken. I’m very aware that Miami has no reason to make a straight up Beal/Butler swap. I’ve said many times it would have to be a 3 team trade and we would have to include 2031…I was trying to not make it another discussion on Butler, so I kept it simple.
I don’t think you can make a KD trade without trading Beal first. But if Beal is already gone(for whoever), I don’t think the KD trade proposal was bad.

Oh okay. So they probably floated his name and everyone just laughed at them. Jeez. This center rotation is fuuuucked.

I think he just might. The Suns need a heart. Jimmy is all heart.

God forbid Beal has contact. His testicles may fall out of his abdomen onto the floor
I don't think there's a question he's my absolute least favorite Sun ever. The highest mismatch between expectations vs performance.
There have been worse Suns, and assholes on the team. But nobody has been a bigger disappointment when you look at games available, impact on the team, compared to salary and expectations when acquired.
