The Phoenix Suns are trading their 2031 first-rounder to the Utah Jazz for three first-round picks, sources told ESPN on Tuesday.
The trade triples the Suns' allotted first-round draft capital as the franchise pursues upgrades to its roster -- such as Miami Heat star Jimmy Butler. Butler, who requested a trade from the Heat earlier this month, has the Suns among his preferred trade destinations, sources said.
The Suns are acquiring the least favorable firsts in 2025 of Cleveland and Minnesota; in 2027 of Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah; and in 2029 of Cleveland, Minnesota and Utah, sources said.
