Blazers with 3 turnovers within the first quarter after logging 3 within the first 3 quarters on Monday. We’ll see if that + getting out in transition like that Beal lob can get the Suns some momentum. – 10:33 PM

Extra on this storyline
Jorge Sierra: Rudy Gobert moved ahead of Kevin McHale in blocks last night. He’s No. 31 all-time now. Additionally: Bradley Beal handed Bob Cousy in scoring for No. 105 in NBA historical past. Devin Booker moved previous Jeff Hornacek and Antoine Walker for No. 134. -via Bluesky / February 4, 2025
John Gambadoro: Sure the Warriors have referred to as on KD, they’ve been aggressive to see if they might pry him away. That’s true. Several teams have called the Suns on KD but Phoenix is still focused on a Butler/Beal deal OR other smaller deals if they Miami won’t budge on Jimmy. -via x.com / February 4, 2025
It’s unclear how open Durant would be to a Warriors reunion and whether the Suns, if backed into a corner, would even be willing to pull the trigger on a Durant move during this transaction cycle. A lot of this might be tied to Jimmy Butler’s future, Miami’s motives, Bradley Beal’s burdensome contract and Durant’s response to all of it. -via New York Times / February 3, 2025
