In the wake of the Suns’ deal with the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night, in which Phoenix tripled its lot of available first-round picks, a source close to the Miami Heat star said there is rising optimism that he’s closer to reaching his desired destination — Phoenix — as a result. Yet as has been reported for months now, that possible deal is widely expected to include Bradley Beal, the Suns guard whose no-trade clause continues to loom large in this situation.

The Heat didn’t have Tyler Herro tonight for first time this season and fell to the struggling Trail Blazers at home to drop back to .500 miamiherald.com/sports/nba/mia… Takeaways and postgame reaction on a night the Jimmy Butler situation seemed to move a little closer to a resolution – 11:59 PM

I gave my thoughts on the Suns trading their 2031 first-rounder for 3 future firsts, and what it means for Jimmy Butler and their future plans: bit.ly/42oIWdV – 8:31 PM

Jimmy Butler already with 7 points and 4 assists in the first quarter. He’s engaged, too, calling for the ball, driving into the paint, etc. – 8:04 PM

For Jimmy Butler to get his wish to join the Suns, it’s probably going to take 3, 4 or even 5 teams to get the job done. Here are some multi-team trade scenarios that might provide the right framework, plus a few other non-Jimmy Butler Suns trades: bit.ly/40lyYaF – 11:03 AM

Even an obscure, viral tweet is not all fun and games for the Suns these days.

More on this storyline
Kevin O’Connor: From my understanding, Butler doesn’t want to go to Memphis because there’s no confidence they’d give him a long-term contract, so he could just be a rental. But because his value is so deflated, and Miami might just want to take the best offer available, maybe Memphis could still make that best offer. With Smart, Clarke, and Kennard, that works salary-wise, plus some number of picks. Jimmy Butler would be a great fit for this roster. Do you think that would be worth the risk for this young Grizzlies team that still has a future geared towards making moves? Or do you think that’s too shortsighted for them? -via YouTube / January 22, 2025
ESPN’s Shams Charania appeared on Tuesday’s episode of NBA Today and said: “Butler has tripled down on his trade request. He did it to Pat Riley’s face, and last week he did it to Micky Arison, the team owner and CEO. I’m told the Heat have had some productive conversations on a potential Butler trade this week.” -via Bleacher Report / January 22, 2025
Butler’s kicks for Miami’s home game against Portland drew plenty of interest across the basketball world, with some believing his choice in footwear foreshadows a change of destination for the 35-year old. Butler’s shoes were adorned in color — namely the orange, purple and yellow that sprawls across Phoenix jerseys. -via Sporting News / January 22, 2025
