Jimmy Butler, you are a Phoenix Sun. That is if Kevin Durant gets what he reportedly wants. The source of Durant’s desires is questionable, so take it with a grain of salt, but former NBA player turned analyst Kendrick Perkins thinks the Suns are aiming to trade for Butler and it has everything to do with Durant.

Kendrick Perkins believes that the Suns are pursuing Jimmy Butler, so they can please and extend Kevin Durant.

Butler has reportedly told teams he will not sign a contract extension, as he has a player option for the 2025-26 season and could hit free agency if he chooses. He's also reportedly shut down most potential teams in a deal - besides the Suns.

Kendrick Perkins said on the Road Trippin' podcast that he believes the Phoenix Suns will trade for disgruntled Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler.

With the Phoenix Suns' latest embarrassing loss, it might be time to have an uncomfortable conversation soon on their long-term direction. What happens next in Phoenix?

There was a stoppage in play as Lee was fouled by Pacers backup big Thomas Bryant with 2.9 seconds left. On the Suns broadcast, Grayson Allen and Booker are both standing up talking to each other with Mason Plumlee sitting on the bench between the two.

The Phoenix Suns are headed in the wrong direction as a franchise. They've assembled a star-studded roster around Devin Booker, even adding a premier scorer and Hall of Fame player in Kevin Durant. The club's owner, Mat Ishiba, took over the team and was a willing spender -- a trait any fan should want a team owner to have.

The Sixers entered the contest short-handed with Joel Embiid, Andre Drummond, Kyle Lowry, Jared McCain, and KJ Martin all sidelined. While Philadelphia was able to put up a solid effort, it wasn't enough. The Suns leaned on a steady diet of Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal to walk away with a 109-99 win on the road.

Jimmy Butler could potentially add another seven figures to his career earnings if the Phoenix Suns acquire him via a trade with Miami Heat.
