Is the (new) Jimmy Butler soap opera approaching its conclusion? Not impossible, because ESPN teaches us a transfer of Draft choices between the Suns and the Jazzand it looks a lot like a way to Phoenix to slowly prepare the ground with the aim of setting up an exchange to recover the Heat player…
In this case, the Suns send their future first round of Draft 2031 (unprotected) to Utah in exchange for three future first rounds of Draft: the “less favorable” of 2025 (between Cavaliers and Timberwolves), the “less favorable” of 2027 (between Cavaliers, Jazz and Timberwolves), as well as the “less favorable” of 2029 ( between Cavaliers, Jazz and Timberwolves as well).
Shoes in Suns colors for Jimmy Butler…
The Jazz therefore get their hands on a much better Draft choice while the Suns are banking on quantity.
Particularly limited in terms of assets to be used during exchanges, Mat Ishbia's franchise offers itself more room for maneuver, particularly if it is necessary to set up a triangle exchange with picks to send to several clubs.
It's hard not to see this transfer as a preparatory move for something bigger, while Bradley Beal And Jusuf Nurkic are in the hot seat in Arizona and that the Phoenix track seems the most serious for Jimmy Butler, because it is there that he would have the best chance of obtaining the maximum extension that he is waiting for…
Moreover, in the defeat against the Blazers, the Heat winger wore shoes in the Suns colors…
