$150 million in 2 years! The highest salary in NBA history! The Suns should not make things difficult for him, he is really not Harden

June 11, according to famous reporter Marc Stein in a column, Suns star Devin Booker is eligible for a two-year, $149.8 million early contract renewal from July 7. It is generally expected that the 28-year-old star will receive this maximum salary. In addition, Stein said that the Suns hope Booker can live his life in Phoenix. The Suns management believes that Booker can play a role like Harden and help the team in scoring and organization.

It is worth mentioning that once Booker renews his contract, his contract will last until 2030, with the total contract amount reaching US$321 million. Among them, the salary in a single season of 2029-30 season is even more than $75 million, which will surpass Tatum to create an NBA historical annual salary record.

With the Big Three declared failure, Durant confirmed that he would leave the Suns, and Bill would be dealt with. The Suns will become the mode of Booker's single-core leadership next season. According to previous reports, Booker had previously participated in the selection of the team's new coach and discussed with several outstanding candidates. In the end, Booker listed Jordan Ott as the first choice for the team's new coach. It is said that the Suns' asking price for Durant to trade Durant is first considered as the center, and they want to exchange Booker for a starting center.

It can be seen that the Suns really have to focus on Booker as the core and build a lineup around him. The problem is that Booker is really not Harden. You can give him this premium contract willful, but don’t make things difficult for him to be a dual-energy guard. Over the years, Booker has proved himself to be an surviving attacker. He is only responsible for scoring without organization and defense to maximize offensive threats. Of course, he also has certain potential on the defensive end and is very good at defending the United States, but in this way, the efficiency of the offensive end will also be reduced. In short, it’s really not good for you to let him connect the team. Harden, who is at the peak, can enter the playoffs with several Development League players. He can switch between scoring and passing at will. Booker doesn’t have to be as good as Harden, his passing skills and awareness are not even as good as Schroeder.

And Booker is 28 years old, he has no talent for organization and room for growth. Paul taught Booker carefully for two seasons, but Booker was not enlightened at all. After Paul left, Booker could not bear the heavy responsibility of the organization. Booker, who plays point guard, feels so uncomfortable. He passes the ball just like a robot for the sake of passing the ball. His opponent can often predict his routine and knows where he wants to break through to pass the ball.

To put it bluntly, Paul's arrival released Booker and Ayton's offensive ability, giving fans and team management unlimited longing, misjudging the team has reached the level of championship competition, and the aimless Big Three of Soha has led to the embarrassing situation now. As soon as Paul left, Monty fell from the altar and Booker was revealed.

Durant cannot get back much assets, and Bill's contract is still dragging down the team. Booker signs such a garbage contract, and the sun is about to set.
