Booker has the final say in the Suns? Durant may be "swept out"! The boss s move is too ruthless

When I woke up, another big news came!

According to NBA famous reporter Marc Stein, the Suns' coaching job is in full swing, and Heat assistant coach Chris Quinn and Cavaliers assistant coach Jordan Ultra may advance to the final candidate stage. Sean Sweeney of the Mavericks and Johnny Bryant, another Cavaliers assistant coach, have just met with the new general manager of the Suns these days!

However, it is worth mentioning that the Suns' top star Devin Booker actually participated in the interview! This is not a casual arrangement. It is obvious that the boss Ishbiya is fulfilling his promise: the future of the sun is around Booker, and Booker is the absolute boss!

Then the question comes! Booker is incredible. He is the core and picks a coach. Where should another big boss Durant go?

Stein said that the Sun is likely to trade Durant in summer! Originally, in February this year, the Suns management wanted to secretly trade Durant away, but Durant found out that he was standing up and called it to stop, saying that he didn't want to leave. Just a few months have passed, and the sun is going to think about this again?

Durant's current situation is indeed quite embarrassing!

The first is the core shift. The boss clearly stated that Booker is the core of the team building. Booker can even get involved in anyone who chooses the coach. The team's voice is obviously in Booker's hands. The big guy at Durant's level must have been affected in the team, and he has almost become a helper who "surrounds Booker".

The second is the attitude of the management. The management first wanted to trade him behind his back, but was stopped by him, and now he publicly wanted to sell him... This face sounded like a slap. A superstar has fallen to the point where he wants the team not to trade himself, but may still be put on the shelves. It is probably the first time among superstars!

The recognized "Alliance King" is now holding two completely different scripts. How can it not be sad!

Finally, there is pressure from luxury tax. Currently, the Suns lead the league with a luxury tax of US$188 million. Durant's salary is more than 51 million, Booker is more than 49 million, and Bill has 50 million! Moreover, there will be no decent first-round picks in the next few years, so it is really not easy to strengthen it. Replacing Durant's big contract with a few useful players or future draft picks will be a killing of two birds with one stone for the Suns management.

So where can Durant go in the end?

The potential next company has basically surfaced now. The Spurs still favor Durant. There have been "scandals" a long time ago, and now Wenban Yama is missing a super scorer to help him share the pressure; the Timberwolves have chased Durant with all their might before the trading deadline. If Durant joins, Huazi will not be happy to die. After all, he can play with his idol, and his attacking power will be more strong, and there will be no such thing as the Western Conference Final. At critical moments, the team cannot use their strength and can't get points!

Sun boss Ishbiya's move "building a team around Booker" is equivalent to sending a signal to the entire league: Booker is the Suns' only true core. The management asked Booker to participate in the selection of coaches, which was to "crowned" him. For Durant, this signal is like issuing a "exit order" - although it is not stated clearly, everyone understands the meaning: it may not be appropriate for you here.
