Phoenix: Coach Mike Budenholzer recently shared his thoughts on the Suns. He said they’re not where they need to be, especially after a tough loss to Denver. The team is sitting at 14-14, and it’s clear they need to shake things up.
To improve, the Suns are looking to trade starting center Jusuf Nurkic. They want to bring in a big player who can help boost their defense, which has been struggling. There are also talks about a potential trade involving Jimmy Butler and Bradley Beal.
But here’s the catch: Beal has a no-trade clause, so he can decide if he wants to go to Miami or not. If he’s not interested, that complicates things. Plus, the Heat have to think about whether they want to give up Butler, who has a player option for next season.
It’s a tricky situation. The Suns are also facing challenges because they’re over the luxury tax limit. This means they can’t take back more than they send out in a trade. So, any deal has to be carefully crafted to work under the cap.
Despite these hurdles, the Suns know they need to make a move. They’re aware that changes are necessary to get back on track.
