Butler has been projected as a very quality fit alongside the duo of Suns stars already in place - with his relative low-usage nature, ability to pressure the rim, and underrated playmaking would be a step-up from how Bradley Beal fits currently.

ESPN insider reports that Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler is open to be the third option behind Kevin Durant and Devin Booker on the Phoenix Suns.

"The Suns have three tradeable second-round picks (in addition to a 2031 first-rounder) to try to convince a team like Charlotte to take on Nurkić's contract for a package headlined by in-demand Hornets big man Nick Richards ... but how many of those three picks would it cost them?"
