Book has had everything handed to him since James Jones arrived. Promising new rookies. (Josh Jackson, Deandre Ayton, Mikal Bridges and Cam Johnson). All-time great veterans (Chris Paul, Durant and Beal). New coaches (Monty Williams, Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer). The franchise has even upgraded the locker room and practice facility.

Jimmy Butler has kept the Suns as the preferred trade destiantion for him, and everyone knows that's the only place he wants to go.

It certainly seems as though Jimmy Butler has his heart set on joining the Phoenix Suns. He wouldn't be the first recent superstar to prefer them as a destination. Chris Paul maneuvered his way to Phoenix when he was with the Oklahoma City Thunder.

Grayson Allen scored his season-high 23 points and hit 5-of-6 on 3-pointers in the Phoenix Suns' 123-115 home win over the Atlanta Hawks on Thursday.

Phoenix Suns guard Bradley Beal had another impressive outing off the bench on Thursday, going for 25 points and seven rebounds on 11 of 16 from the field in a win over the Atlanta Hawks. That was Beal's second 25-point outing since he was removed from the starting lineup earlier this month.
