Fox has only one team in mind and is pulling a Jimmy Butler.

Would be nice to know what team that is. If he says Phoenix, I'll start flippin ****!

San Antonio?

Fox and Wemby would be solid

Send Booker to Houston

Per Stein Rockets not interested in Fox and will roll with their current lineup.

If the Kings want Beal, we should just take Fox and Monk.

Kings don’t want Beal when they can trade Fox to the Spurs for Vessell Castle filler and picks

And if the Spurs get Fox -four teams long term better than the Suns even with Butler

At some point - the vanity for ishbia needs to end

Apparently Fox wants the Spurs and Kings would do a S&T.

The already obvious!

Suns need to pivot and keep riding with this team
and just see what happens
maybe a small move

butler is not worth overpaying for

A bunch of small, seemingly inconsequential moves >>> big Butler trade

1- Allen/ CLE 26' 1st to Toronto for Olynyk/ Mogbo/ POR 25' 2nd ( 37th pick).

2- Allen to Orlando for Harris/ Howard/ DEN 25' 1st.

3- Allen/ CLE 26' 1st for Paul/ Champagne/ CHI 25' 2nd ( 39th pick).
** Flip Jones or Morris for a 2nd and then use that 2nd and our TPE to Milwaukee for G Trent Jr.

NURKIC TRADES

1- Nurkic/ CLE 1st to New York for Robinson/ Kolek/ Dadiet.

2- Nurkic/ CLE 1st to Indiana for Toppin/ Wiseman/ Freeman.

3- Nurkic/ CLE 1st to San Antonio for Paul/ Champagne/ filler/ CHI 25' 2nd ( 37th pick).

** followup trade of Jones to San Antonio for a 2nd to offset giving up Paul and so Tyus can play with his brother ( feel good story). Then use that 2nd and our TPE to MIL for GTrent jr to stopgap replace Allen.

I don't understand the Allen trades

Fox is open to multiple destinations and not just the Spurs.

90% of Suns fans sentiments I’ve seen on here, twitter and reddit have all been against trading for Butler unless all it costs is straight-up trade of Beal for Butler or something similar.

It’s insane that Ishbia doesn’t understand this.

One thing with the new CBA --having three players making $175m is really limiting

Oh sure, in July Flex and Gambo will talk about what a great DESTINATION the suns are with the Big three but all they can sign is a bunch of minimum veteran players.

If the Suns want to trade for Butler - thats fine - -but they would have to be willing to not extend Butler or Durant and just get cap when Durant is off the books after 2026 along with Butler if he opts out.

But I doubt Ishbia is thinking that way.

That was a dumb tweet. Richards has been a huge addition.

He's been really good for sure and outplayed his previous role too. He's a great example of what's possible for a player's growth in a different environment/expanded role! Sometimes all a player might need to break out is a chance in a new situation and environment.

You're not selling me on Pat Williams

Suns gonna make a trade which will be nothing rumored but all the insiders will say “I told you they were gonna make a move with those first rounders”.
