Meiji: Booker is 29 years old this year. If the Suns are unable to compete for the championship in recent years, they may consider trading him.

November 11th: Recently, American journalist Pierre Andresen participated in the podcast "The Kevin O 'Connor Show" and talked about Booker's situation.

"Booker has been very adamant that he hopes to spend his entire career with the Suns, despite many rumors from the outside world. From a management perspective, of course they also want to retain Booker, but if there is a team willing to pay a huge price, such as if the Pistons offer Tobias Harris , Ivey and some future draft picks, etc., will the Suns consider it? Booker is 29 years old. If the team cannot enter the championship ranks in the next few years (it seems likely now), can the Suns still remain competitive when he is 33 to 35 years old?" Pierre Andresen said.

"The most difficult thing for the Suns is to find a suitable trade package. Booker is a rare star player, but the management may receive some calls that make them have to seriously consider it. If a team provides a generous offer, the Suns may seriously consider it. However, considering the Pistons' current record and the growth potential of young players, the Suns may ask for higher quality draft picks. Therefore, although they will consider it, it may not be reached in the end. Yes For the Suns, they will not consider trading Booker unless they receive an extremely ridiculous offer. After all, Booker is one of the best players in the history of the Suns. If they want to trade such a core player, the Suns must get a more valuable return than the draft pick.

Booker's contract is still 5 years and 316 million away from expiration, and he just completed an early renewal this summer.
