Jimmy Butler plays in Suns-themed sneakers hours after Phoenix acquires trade assets
If there was some mystery behind it Jimmy Butler’s preferred trade destination, should not exist now.
Just a few hours after Phoenix Suns acquired three future first-round picks from Utah Jazz in exchange for another first-round pick, Butler took the field for Miami Heat in sneakers with the colors of the Sun.
Phoenix could try to use three picks to add talent before the trade deadline. The franchise has been linked to disgruntled Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler in multiple media reports. Butler recently returned to the Heat after a seven-game suspension for “conduct detrimental to the team.”
The Suns now own first-round picks in 2025, 2027 and 2029, which are the worst picks between Cleveland and Minnesota in 2025 and between Cleveland, Utah and Minnesota in 2027 and 2029.
The Jazz received the Suns’ unprotected 2031 first-round pick.

The struggling Suns are 21-21 this season, which is a big disappointment considering that they have Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal on the list.
