Jimmy Butler Had An Interesting Choice Of Shoe Colors On Tuesday

 

The Miami Heat have a decision to make about Jimmy Butler.

He’s made it loud and clear that he doesn’t want to be there anymore, even going on record to say that he’s lost his joy.

The Phoenix Suns have been his most aggressive suitor so far, but they haven’t made any offer that moves the needle for Pat Riley.

However, it seems like Butler also wants to be in the desert.

At least, that’s what PHNX Suns thinks, as they showed his curious sneaker color scheme in his last game.

Butler wore sneakers with Suns colors in the Heat’s loss to the Portland Trail Blazers, and being the savvy person he is, that was hardly a coincidence.

The Suns recently acquired three first-round picks in a trade to the Utah Jazz.

That puts them in a position to trade them in a bundle to land him.

Of course, they will also need to find a way to move Bradley Beal.

The Heat weren’t interested in Beal two years ago, so it is highly unlikely that they will want him now, especially since they have watched him struggle to stay healthy and not be the same All-Star-caliber player he once was.

The Suns will most likely have to find someone willing to accept Beal’s steep salary in a three-team trade to acquire Butler.

If that wasn’t tough enough, they must have Beal agree to waive his no-trade clause.

They already seem to have Butler’s blessing, so they must find a way to get him now.
