Often the subject of rumors in recent weeks, the Suns are set to make some important decisions in the coming off-season. One of them concerns Devin Booker, and let’s just say it’s far from unanimous.
It’s an important summer for the Suns, who have some major choices to make in the coming weeks. It all starts with the draft, with Phoenix looking to pick up a first-round pick in exchange for Kevin Durant. It’s quite possible with the Spurs, although negotiations are still ongoing with them according to Shams Charania, while the Wolves and Rockets are not far off.
Bradley Beal should also be traded… at least in a perfect world. The reality is that the fullback is unlikely to leave because of his contract (over 50 million a year) and questionable performances this season. Add to that the fact that he has veto power over any trade and you have a dangerous mix.
Another questionable Suns decision on the way?
No, Beal isn’t expected to move, which means the best chance of getting Trump back is Durant. There’s Devin Booker, of course, but knowing that the Suns consulted him when choosing their new coach, there’s no way the fullback is on the move. In fact, Phoenix would like to consolidate its future in Arizona.
And there’s nothing better than a new contract to invite a player to continue his adventure. The Suns are expected to discuss a contract extension with Booker in the near future, and the numbers can make your head spin. Indeed, as the NBA continues to increase its salary cap, salaries will follow, as will extensions.
As a result, according to Marc Stein, Booker could be in for quite a treat:
@LegionHoops: “Report: the Suns are expected to offer Devin Booker a 2-year extension for 150 million, according to Marc Stein.”
That’s $75 million a year for Booker, who could break the record with a new deal. Of course, he could refuse, but the guard has already made it clear that he’s ready to continue in Phoenix, a place he considers his home and has done for years. A logical choice for the Suns to keep their star, but a contract that could become a problem in the future. These sums are beginning to be debated within the NBA.
