On January 10th, Beijing time, with the deepening of the schedule, the Butler trade incident has taken a new turn. After Butler's team named ideal destinations such as the Rockets, Mavericks, Warriors, and Suns, the Heat felt humiliated and suspended Butler for a week on the grounds that he was harming the team, and publicly put him up for sale to the entire league. However, as time passed, with the lifting of the suspension approaching, the Heat did not receive a satisfactory offer, coupled with the poor performance of the Heat during Butler's suspension. Therefore, the Heat's accompanying reporter revealed that if Butler is not traded by next Saturday, Riley will welcome him back and re-enlist him to continue leading the team to compete for the championship. However, at that time, Butler will become a free agent this summer and can freely choose his ideal destination, leaving the Heat with nothing. Perhaps in the eyes of the Heat, Butler, who led the team to the finals twice in five years, would be very popular in the trade market, and they expected to send him away shortly after the trade window opened. However, things did not go as Riley had hoped. Although the Suns showed an extremely positive attitude, there were even reports that the Suns had prepared $121 million over two years for Butler, but unfortunately, the Suns' core chip, Beal, was not willing to cooperate. After learning from the media that he might become a bargaining chip, he openly used his trade veto power to tell the world that…

Overnight! Season Over for Two Players, Butler's Farewell, Suns Gear Up, Western Powerhouse Officially Out On January 10th, Beijing time, the latest round of NBA regular season games have all concluded. In addition to the thrilling matches on the court, several significant off-court developments have emerged overnight in the league. Here, I will integrate and report on these updates, so please do not take them personally. Two players have been ruled out for the season, with one team officially withdrawing from the pursuit of Butler, while the Suns are preparing themselves, and the Heat may have to accept reality. According to NBA insiders, Magic star Wagner has officially undergone surgery for a torn knee ligament and will miss the rest of the season. As one of the starting core players for the Magic, Wagner averaged 12 points, 4 rebounds, and 1 assist per game this season. Although a torn knee ligament can have a significant impact on a player's career, fortunately, Wagner signed a long-term top salary contract with the team this summer, ensuring at least his income is secured. Additionally, the 76ers have also announced that rookie standout McCain will miss the remainder of the season. He was once a strong contender for Rookie of the Year, averaging 15 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists per game. Regarding Butler's future, Heat insiders revealed that Riley has never considered offering Butler an early contract extension. Since suspending Butler for seven games and openly seeking trades throughout the league, the Heat have not received any satisfactory offers. If no trade is…

Translation: Laying all cards on the table, no more pretense. According to NBA insider Sidery, Butler has informed all teams within the league that he will only sign a contract extension with the Suns. In short, Butler only wants to be traded from the Heat to the Suns, and other suitors should give up now. Once this news broke, even the thickest-skinned suitor would know when to back off, leaving the Heat with no choice but to deal with the Suns. The back-and-forth between Butler and Heat president Pat Riley is fascinating enough to make a movie about it. Keyboard warrior MVP and former NBA player Kendrick Perkins, who seems to have overheard something from under someone's bed, claims that the Suns have prepared a two-year, 121millioncontractextensionforButler.OncetheSunsacquireButler,Durantisalsoexpectedtotearfullysignatwo−year,121 million contract extension for Butler. Once the Suns acquire Butler, Durant is also expected to tearfully sign a two-year, 121millioncontractextensionforButler.OncetheSunsacquireButler,Durantisalsoexpectedtotearfullysignatwo−year,120 million contract extension during the offseason this summer. Whether it's to improve the team's current predicament (16 wins, 19 losses, 12th in the West) or to ensure Durant stays, getting Butler from the Heat has become an urgent matter for the Suns. Based on previous reports, the Suns plan to trade Beal for Butler, and if traded to the Heat, Beal is willing to waive his no-trade clause. The problem is that the Heat don't want Beal. Playing for the Suns, he has lost his All-Star luster, averaging less than 20 points per game, and is now just a substitute. His salary for the next two years totals around $100 million, which an…

The recent NBA Western Conference games have been a thrilling spectacle for fans, with the victories of the Kings and the Suns providing intense matchups that kept viewers on the edge of their seats. From pre-game predictions to post-game scores, the matches have been full of twists and turns, making it impossible to look away from the television for even a moment. Let's start with the Kings versus the Heat. That game was a rollercoaster of emotions. What made this match so captivating? The answer lies in two words—overtime! Not just one, but it went all the way to double overtime. Watching this game, I couldn't help but worry about the Kings' stamina. The game began with the Heat giving the Kings a wake-up call, dominating the first quarter with precise offense and stifling the Kings' attack. However, in the second quarter, the Heat's offense faltered, allowing the Kings to seize the opportunity and pull ahead. Then, in the third quarter, the Kings stumbled again, scoring only 18 points while the Heat capitalized, overtaking them and extending their lead to 10 points. Just when everyone thought the Heat had secured the win, DeRozan emerged as a savior in the final quarter, scoring an incredible 11 points to drag the game into overtime. In the first overtime, both teams exchanged blows, with the score remaining close, leading to another overtime. This time, the Kings found their momentum in the clutch moments, with DeRozan scoring 9 points alone to help his team ultimately defeat the Heat 123-118. It felt like I was…

The Phoenix Suns have announced on social media that Bradley Beal will be benched until the end of the season. Suns beat reporter John Gambadoro discussed Beal's situation on social media: "There is indeed a tense atmosphere surrounding Beal within the Suns organization. If this is a tactic by the Suns to push Beal to give up his trade veto power, don't be surprised." The Suns' decision to bench a former All-Star player like Beal, who earns $50 million, is seen as disrespectful. Beal is unlikely to accept a lesser role and giving up his trade veto power to leave the Suns seems to be his only option. The Suns' move to bench Beal is not only due to his poor performance but also because they are involved in Jimmy Butler's trade. According to renowned journalist Stein, the Phoenix Suns are widely considered the most interested team in trading for Butler. He wrote: "From a certain perspective, they are indeed one of Butler's ideal destinations: It is reported that Suns owner Mat Ishbia is willing to offer a lucrative new contract to the 35-year-old player, a willingness unmatched in the league." The Suns' determination to form a 'Big Three' by dropping Beal and signing Butler has impressed Butler. According to another well-known journalist Haynes, Butler's camp has informed the Grizzlies and Bucks that he will not play for them. "As far as I know, Jimmy wants to go to Phoenix. This experienced team has several excellent players, and most importantly, the team owner may not hesitate to offer him a…

Stars such as Garland, Curry, Randle, LeFevre, Shen Jing, Beal, and Harkless all had impressive performances. So, who will win the title of today's best player? Let's take a look together. In the game between the Rockets and the Grizzlies, a total of 5 players from the Grizzlies scored in double figures, with Morant scoring 27 points + 3 rebounds + 3 assists and Jaren Jackson Jr. contributing 21 points + 8 rebounds + 4 assists. However, they were once down by 17 points and ultimately suffered a defeat. On the Rockets' side, Van Vleet scored 22 points + 4 assists + 4 steals, Jalen Green scored 27 rebounds + 2 rebounds + 3 assists + 3 steals, and Shen Jing was even more ferocious! He played for 35 minutes, shooting 12 of 20 (1 of 1 from three-point range), making 7 of 15 free throws, and scored 32 points + 14 rebounds + 5 assists + 1 block, with the highest scores in points, rebounds, and assists! Especially in the first quarter, Shen Jing scored 16 points alone, setting the tone for the…

However, Hield, who was introduced by the Warriors during this year's offseason, had a poor performance in this game that really needs to be highlighted. In this game, Hield completely lost his way, coming off the bench and playing for 18 minutes and 26 seconds. He shot 7 times but only made 3 shots, with 5 three-point attempts resulting in just 1 make, ultimately scoring 7 points, grabbing 3 rebounds, and dishing out 3 assists. As a result, Hield, who shone at the beginning of the season, has now fully revealed his true form. According to statistics, Hield's average scoring trend from October to January is: 21.2 → 13.2 → 8.5 → 8.0! It should be clear that during the period when the Warriors performed best this season, many Warrior fans believed that Hield had the ability to fill the void left by Klay's departure. Moreover, Hield's value is lower, making him more cost-effective than Klay. However, recently, Hield's performance has become increasingly worse, which has completely changed everyone's perception of him. So why did Hield suddenly lose his touch? The main reason is still too much pressure. It must be said that the reason for Hield's decline is that opponents have been studying and defending against him, which is an important factor. Moreover, during the Warriors' consecutive losses, the pressure on Hield has increased day by day, causing his performance to fluctuate. Just take the last two days as an example, Hield was severely scolded by Draymond Green, probably leaving a significant shadow on his mind. At the end…

The battle between Butler and Riley has left the Heat players disinterested in fighting. In a previous game against the Pistons, the team's two core players, Adebayo and Herro, sat on the bench with a look of bewilderment. This is easy to understand; Pat Riley's treatment of the team's veterans made them feel the coldness of losing their lips. Now, Riley, who has been forced to the brink, urgently needs to trade Jimmy Butler as soon as possible. However, Butler's previous remarks have made many teams wary, as spending a lot of money to get a Butler who only plays half a season has deterred many teams. The Heat not being able to maximize their interests is also what Riley finds most frustrating. After the Texas duo withdrew from the competition for Butler, both the Bucks and the Grizzlies expressed interest in trading for Butler. However, Butler's team made it very clear that Jimmy does not want to play for them. For the Bucks and Grizzlies, who want to challenge for the championship, it's not just about getting him; they must get Butler to agree to a contract extension. Otherwise, if he opts out of his contract this summer, these two teams will get nothing. In fact, Butler's desired destination is the Phoenix Suns. The team's owner, Ishbia, and general manager, James Jones, have both stated that they hope Butler can join them. They can also meet Butler's demand for a two-year maximum salary extension. The current difficulty is who the Suns can trade for Butler? Since the team has…

The NBA regular season is full of excitement, and the 2025 San Francisco All-Star voting is in full swing! Over the past 80 days, the league has been fiercely competitive, with stars from different generations showcasing their skills for team records and rankings, as well as All-Star spots! According to the first round of official All-Star voting results released by the NBA, players like Jokic and Alexander from the West, and Antetokounmpo, Tatum, and Towns from the East have almost secured their starting positions with impeccable performances. The arrival of new talent means that many regular starters may have to give up their spots, such as Durant from the Suns, who is finding it difficult to secure a starting position in the Western Conference All-Stars! Curry was once one of the top players in the league, having won 2 championships, 1 FMVP, 2 MVPs, 2 All-Star MVPs, 4 scoring titles, and made 14 All-Star appearances, ranking 7th in NBA history. He also made 12 All-Star starts, ranking 4th in NBA history, behind Jordan (13 times), Kobe (18 times), and James (20 times). In the past four seasons, Durant has been selected to the All-Star starting lineup for four consecutive years, showing his "Death God" aura as he gets older and more stable. However, the problem lies in the fact that while the "Death God" may still be able to wield his scythe, he no longer has the power to lead the troubled Suns to create waves in the league! In the new season, the Suns have started strong but have…

Recently, Paul George of the 76ers has been at the center of attention. As a top-tier player earning a staggering $220 million annually, his performance has raised eyebrows among many. Averaging only 15 points with a 40% shooting rate, his statistics are somewhat disappointing, especially for someone on such a high salary. This has led the 76ers' management to question his value and consider a change of environment to inject new vitality into the team. Consequently, trade discussions involving George have heated up, particularly in relation to the Suns. It appears that the Suns are also looking to shake things up, given their "third superstar" Bradley Beal's inconsistent performance despite his significant contract. Beal's height and position put him at a disadvantage against taller players, which is particularly noticeable as a guard. His $50 million annual salary also exerts considerable pressure on the Suns. This has prompted the Suns to consider trading Beal in hopes of acquiring a more suitable player. The initial plan for the trade involves the 76ers sending George to the Suns in exchange for Beal and a first-round draft pick. This seems like a mutual adjustment for both teams. The 76ers are taking a gamble, believing that George's dip in performance without ball possession is temporary and that he still holds potential worth exploring in a new setting. If he can form a formidable trio with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker, their chances of winning the championship would significantly increase. However, the main obstacle to the trade is Beal's contract, which includes a trade veto clause.…
