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

The Jimmy Butler sweepstakes are being hard-fought by many teams. Butler reportedly listed three organizations he would like to join if traded. Those teams included the Dallas Mavericks, Golden State Warriors and Phoenix Suns.

Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler reportedly wants to team up with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker on the Phoenix Suns. NBA insider Jake Fischer reported

INDIANAPOLIS — A day after Charles Barkley said the Phoenix Suns “stink,” ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith called them “soft” based on what the “NBA people” are saying as he put it.

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?

Two straight games of low rebounding numbers, single-digit points and limited shot attempts led to this exchange between Tim Reynolds of the Associated Press and Butler following the double-digit loss to Indiana.

In my opinion, the Warriors continue to be the team rumored to be in the mix for Butler that makes the most sense. Stephen Curry and Draymond Green are Hall-of-Famers who aren’t getting younger. The question is whether they can get Butler without decimating the younger transitional core they’ve assembled.

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.

Beal is clearly a very, very good player but his massive contract and no-trade clause make moving him almost impossible, so head coach Mike Budenholzer opted to have his $50 million man come off the bench.

Suns guard Devin Booker was irate after an upset loss to the Hornets, only 24 hours after winning in Philadelphia.

Jimmy Butler hasn’t found a new home in the NBA and inside reports have stated that the Miami Heat are having a difficult time getting the sort of trade package they want for him. That means he may remain in Miami,
