The Phoenix Suns' long pursuit of Miami Heat forward Jimmy Butler may be coming to an end. According to ClutchPoints' Brett Siegel, some around the NBA believe the Suns are backing off a deal for the superstar: "There has been some chatter since last night of the Suns pulling away from Jimmy Butler trade talks and focusing on improving their roster by moving Jusuf Nurkic.

It has been reported that Butler’s preferred landing spot is in Phoenix so that he can pair up with Kevin Durant and Devin Booker. Of course, that leaves Bradley Beal as the odd man out and if the Suns want Butler, they are going to have to find a team willing to take on Beal’s massive contract.
