The big question is: Will he stay, or will he go to the New York Knicks?
After Minnesota defeated the Phoenix Suns, the Sun’s elite trio of Devin Booker, Bradley Beal, and Kevin Durant will have a long summer.
Still, in the atmosphere of the Suns’ loss, Stephen A. Smith says this on the First Take show with Shay Shay
“Booker wants to be in New York; that’s what I’m being told. He might deny it, but I haven’t spoken to him. I’m just telling you the scuttlebutt in the NBA circles is that the brother wanna be in New York.”
What does this mean for the New York Knicks?
Some vital points of view suggest that this move could also favor both sides. Let’s find out.
Devin Booker’s History with the Phoenix Suns
The four-time NBA All-Star drafted in 2015 has 14,529 points, making him the second all-time leading scorer for the Phoenix Suns
He’s played in 598 regular-season games for the Suns with notable teammates like Chris Paul, Durant, and Beal
Yet despite these super trio combos, the Suns were swept from the playoffs by the Western Conference 3rd seed Timberwolves 4-0.
The Phoenix Suns’ season is over, which has led to rumors about Devin Booker’s future with the Suns.
The Suns haven’t had an outstanding season. It’s easy to believe that Booker wants out as he seeks to bag an NBA championship ring next season
Though there isn’t any authentic source to verify these claims, there is a chance that Devin Booker could pull that off because he was one of Leon Rose’s top clients before Rose became the New York Knicks president
What Does This Mean for the Phoenix Suns and the New York Knicks?
All of this could happen. To accomplish this, the Knicks would have to sell at least two to three players to afford Devin Booker
Just like Stephen Adam Smith said, “So if you’re Phoenix, you’ve got at least two people—probably three—who are all getting paid about $150 million combined who don’t wanna be there”
On the other hand, it could be tough to decide who goes and who stays for the Knicks, as some key players could get swapped
Thus, some possible options for the swap could be Julius Randle, Miles McBride, and Mitchell Robinson.
Also, if the Knicks could bag Booker, it’d help manage the pressure on Jalen Brunson by adding and balancing their offensive power
Finally, Devin Booker’s loyalty to the Suns makes it somewhat unlikely that he wants to move to the Knicks. Also, Phoenix Suns fans are confident that Devin Booker won’t be going anywhere and have debunked Stephen Adams’s speculation.
Could the New York Knicks Make a Deal for Devin Booker?
Do you think Booker should or should not go to the Knicks?
