00:00Anyway, Suns beat the Nuggets by 10 at the footprint in the desert.
00:07Durant and Beale had 27 each.
00:09You've been hearing they were dangling Mike Beale for Butler.
00:13That's not happening, allegedly.
00:14Here's Beale getting the steal and the finish at the other end on ESPN.
00:19Kick out deflected, stolen by Bradley Beale, mano a mano, Beale delayed.
00:27And here's the Slim Reaper speaking for the Grinch on Christmas Day.
00:33You're playing in your 12th Christmas game, 11th time in your career where you've had
00:3820 or more points on Christmas night as well.
00:41How lucky do you feel as well as how lucky as fans we get to win?
00:45It's not just you, but Steph and LeBron putting up 30 point games on Christmas night at this
00:49point in your career.
00:50Yeah, I mean, so many great talents in this league.
00:52I mean, not just us three.
00:53You see Jokers tonight.
00:55You see a Hall of Famer, an icon in Russell out here tonight.
00:58You see so many great young players around the league today.
01:00It was an amazing day for basketball.
01:02I'm grateful I was able to play on this great day and entertain the fans and get a win at
01:06home.
01:07So I'm grateful.
01:09So the Suns, Mike, allegedly looking to trade Nerkic for another big man, possibly Voos
01:14or Valanchunas.
01:15I just, you know, I suppose I could believe they want to get rid of Nerkic.
01:21He's OK.
01:23But I don't believe, frankly, Valanchunas is any better than Nerkic.
01:27I think Voos is.
01:30And I also don't buy that the Suns are getting Jimmy Butler.
01:33And I also am not sure I buy Pat Riley saying we're not trading him.
01:38I've heard that before.
01:39We're not trading Jimmy Butler.
01:42We've heard that before.
01:43It was how many coaches have said they're not trading people and then they trade him?
01:48Yeah, it just means that they haven't gotten an offer yet that they're willing to take.
01:54It doesn't mean that they're not trading him.
01:55Absolutely.
01:56They just need a better offer.
01:58My question on the Suns, though, Scotty, is, all right, so what if you make these moves?
02:03Does it really challenge for a championship?
02:06The NBA has been interesting in the last few years in that going into the playoffs, we
02:10think a lot of teams have a shot.
02:11But if the Suns make these moves, they move Beal and they move Nerkic and bring in somebody
02:16else, does that really make them a title contender in the West?
02:20No.
02:21I don't think so.
02:23What's the point?
02:24I don't think they are now.
02:25Yeah.
02:26I agree.
02:27I don't think they would be then.
02:29Totally agree.
02:30I just think that these are moves for the sake of making moves.
02:34And when teams get into that kind of mode, their fans are going to be perpetually frustrated.
02:40They want to do something because Durant is there and he's still a great player.
02:45But I don't think it means anything for them long term.
