Suns show interest in Jimmy Butler but trade remains unlikely

Jimmy Butler's trade status has generated significant media attention, particularly regarding interest from the Phoenix Suns. Reports from NBA insiders suggest the Suns are considering Butler, but his agent has denied these claims. ESPN's Brian Windhorst confirmed the Suns' interest, stating that only three players—Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal—could be involved in a potential trade. However, trading either Durant or Booker seems unlikely, making Beal the most probable candidate to be dealt. Despite the buzz, many analysts believe a trade between the Suns and Butler is unlikely to happen. The consensus is that if Butler is traded, it will likely be to a different team, not the Suns.
