    Goes to show you never can tell. To think the Clippers traded Shai for PG. Jesus Christ what a steal.

    Don't think the Suns would consider Durant or Booker - so the only other salary that can fit is Beal.

    The only other assets the Suns have is a 2031 pick. Is that enough for the Heat to eat 3 years of Beal's deal? I wouldn't think so.

    Well, it does at least show that we are all not crazy or deluded here.

    Who would give assets for Jimmy Butler? Guy is cooked. Stick a fork in him. I like how he thinks he is sooooo great he can choose his team. Smh.

    having said that PHX is dumb enough to go after him.

    Beal isn't much of an asset. Sure the Suns probably have to give up a pick, but we gave up two for Deni so it's not like one for Butler is some huge haul.

    The Lakers or Warriors seem like teams that would give up a pick for Butler.

    He was obviously responding to Bucks listed as 5th best odds.

    Butler’s PER is 23.99, 9th best in the entire NBA. He’s All NBA.

    Hawks have assembled so much wing length, youth, and defense. Super impressive to watch. Can be a bit of a model of how we may want to eventually build/rebuild.

    Silly, we don't model our team on other good rebuilds. We saw what the Thunder did and were like....Nah!
