The Phoenix Suns offseason officially starts now and we’re on Royce O’Neale watch now! Plus, it’s Trade Machine Tuesday and we’re talking Devin Booker. But don’t worry, we don’t want him to be traded, we’re just looking at what teams could be trying to offer to the Suns for Book. Join us for the latest around the Suns and don’t forget to follow the show on social @PHNX_Suns.
Put down the torches and pitchforks: Devin Booker isn’t going anywhere. The Phoenix Suns have zero interest in trading the face of their franchise, they’re not moving on from any member of the Big 3 this summer, and Booker still absolutely, unequivocally wants to be in the Valley. The only people interested in Devin Booker trades are would-be suitors and national talking heads, all of whom are operating under wishful thinking or disingenuous rumor-mongering.
We’ve already seen as much, like when there was inaccurate speculation in April that Booker wanted to join the New York Knicks. The Suns don’t need to blow it up or make drastic moves; their best path forward is tinkering on the margins and hoping a year of continuity and a new head coach will make the biggest difference.
