Jimmy Butler, you are a Phoenix Sun. That is if Kevin Durant gets what he reportedly wants. The source of Durant’s desires is questionable, so take it with a grain of salt, but former NBA player turned analyst Kendrick Perkins thinks the Suns are aiming to trade for Butler and it has everything to do with 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.

The Phoenix Suns (16-18) play the final of a three-game road trip and second of back-to-back games at the Charlotte Hornets (7-27) on Tuesday.
