    Yay , we can accomplish nothing under Devin booker era, and says we got ourself a faux star, who done nothing without chris Paul and can't do anything with Durant , suns would have been way better if they kept bridges , cam, ayton , Paul and Durant if they had traded booker , and would have kept all those picks too, suns management is just stupid

    The fascination with Booker is concerning

    How is Haliburton more likely than Booker? Indy is 4th in the East and just got Hali a few years ago. Phoenix is 10th in the West and two of their stars are old. Phoenix looks much more likely to rebuild.

    Not sure I want Booker. I don’t necessarily buy that he will be a point guard. And honestly, I think green will be better than Booker in the long run.

    TBH, I highly doubt Beal cares about winning, he never had IMO.

    Because Booker looks like he's going to retire a Sun while Hali looks like he's just chilling in Indy till it's not embarrassing to ask out lol. I just think Hali will want out soon once he realizes how hard it is to recruit people there and how he needs to be the set up guy for guys like Green/Amen/Sengun. I would wait for his health to improve though.

    I don't think the Suns will trade Booker before Durant and Beal. It's much further than people think, even a full re-tool around Booker is easy because he's a jumpshooter who has dramatically improved at playmaking so it's plug and play. That's their franchise guy and elite jumpshooters age well. He's more well rounded than he's ever been. I think that's going to cost 6 picks or so until he's like 34. I don't think that's our guy.

    Our guy is a PG who can SHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT. The obvious move is replace Fred with a PG or a playmaking SF (so Amen can move to point if we want) who can shoot lights out. Around Sengun/Amen/Green you're just going to need 2 elite 3&D players. Jabari was looking like it before going down with the injury. At PG it's possibly Sheppard but he's not close to strong enough to start anytime soon.

    Nice he feels that way but as soon as he hits 30 he will be a declining commodity + Suns will pivot, Ishbia is stubborn but not completely incompetent.

    I’d rather ride it out with Green for the next decade than trade for Booker

    He’s one of the few like Lebron where I would never want to win with them on the team

    He's not. Neither is Booker. This board gets worked up about trades that will never happen

    Can you really classify a career 35.6% 3 pt shooter as elite? He's only shot better than 36.5% twice in his 10 year career. To be elite, I'd think that you would at least be better than league average.
