NBA Insider: Rockets DON’T Want Kevin Durant & Phoenix Suns MUST Trade Devin Booker

25 comments

1. We've seen the Suns without KD. Y'all can't be quick to get rid of KD. Booker not going anywhere. Stop it.

2. I know people really haven't talked about it much with all the changes – but cant we say the stability on this team maybe a factor why they haven't performed to expectations – having to adjust to coaching changes , roster changes on a yearly basis cant be a easy thing to adjust to ?

3. The suns are 2-16 when Durant sits and Booker plays. I genuinely don’t get why suns fans want to keep Booker. Booker literally can’t win games when he doesn’t have a star next to him. There literally no point in keeping him

4. Keep Durant and Book , BUY BEAL OUT!! a $100m is nothing to what the franchise will suffer if we have another decade like the 2010s
   Trade assets for picks: Royce , Greyson, Plumlee, Bol, Tyus(sign&trade) …
   Build around KD, Book, Richards, Dunn. Keep Oso, Gillespie, Morris, Bol and make every other player is a 3&D or shot blocker

5. @Marc Steins wrong

6. They gonna keep coach bud no reason to change if we finna tank might as well keep him

7. Send bricker asap

8. It makes no sense to trade Book so you can get a bunch of Food Stamps for 2030. Book is an All-Star, Team USA MVP and has the scoring record in like 5 arenas! What more do you want? He wants to be in Phoenix and we want him. Rest can work itself out

9. Suns org: "Congratulations on becoming the franchise leader in points Devin!"

   …immediately gets traded.

   Let's get serious here though. He's not getting traded after becoming the franchise scoring leader.

10. SEND BOOKER TO DALLAS

11. Smooth brained take, Marc Stein

13. There is no way PHX can be competitive any time soon. We are looking at the early-2010s era again.

14. The sooner Booker and KD get traded, the better the franchise will be. Beal is a lost cause, so whatever it takes. Hope he has played his last game as Sun. He did us a great diservice.

15. Warriors have all the players that Phoenix wanted , drafts and so forth for Durant .. it was almost a done deal but Durant turned it down . He might have second thoughts as the season ended. Teaming up with Curry , Butler , Draymond , Moody , and some other young players is not that bad of a team . Just an opinion

16. Booker’s a quitter just like KD, too one-dimensional these days

17. They need to get rid of Beal first. Booker and Kd can carry this team next year

18. Rockets want KD but asking price is too low for him. We’ll be lucky to get FVV (+ salary match), Cam, Reed, 27 and 29 picks back for KD. Pretty sure they want to hold on to 25 pick swap if it somehow lands on top 4 pick where all of those players are higher value than KD

19. Hahaha !!!!!!!!! It's obvious Houston Rockets are panicking. I won't be surprised Houston will be eliminated in the 1st round by either be GSW, Memphis or even Dallas (I wish Rockets don't get sweep). The next thing you know Rockets call the Suns for KD and will give everything to get KD.

20. If I’m KD I under no circumstances will I sign an extension with this team. Was his biggest mistake in Brooklyn. He was supposed to sign first which he did, then Kyrie and harden to which they never signed because of a million fuck ups.

21. Whatever the SUNS do in the off-season, "Book" Devin for next year, at the Footprint Arena. everything else, "Let go and Let GOD!"

22. Rockets dont want Book either. we keeping those picks and drafting in the lottery with them

23. $51 million 36 year old Kevin Durant. Rockets would rather resign their own younger players.

24. Devin Booker to Detroit makes more sense. Devin Booker is from Detroit.

25. If you are Kd why would you sign a extension with the Suns
