Suns Gain Three First-Round Picks, Eyeing Multi-Team Trade for Butler
Jan 22, 2025, 02:57 AM
The Phoenix Suns have acquired three future first-round draft picks from the Utah Jazz in exchange for their 2031 unprotected first-round pick, a move seen as a strategic step toward facilitating a trade for Miami Heat's Jimmy Butler. The Suns received the least favorable first-round picks in 2025 from Cleveland or Minnesota, and in 2027 and 2029 from Cleveland, Minnesota, or Utah. This trade increases Phoenix's draft capital, potentially enabling them to engage in a multi-team trade to acquire Butler, who has expressed a strong desire to be traded to the Suns. Butler, who returned from a seven-game suspension, has been vocal about his wish to leave Miami, with the Suns being his preferred destination. The Suns' acquisition of additional draft picks is viewed as a move to enhance their ability to negotiate a trade, possibly involving Bradley Beal, who holds a no-trade clause.
