Booker stays in the team, the sun hopes to create glory again

On May 6, ESPN famous reporter Brian Windhorst brought a message to Suns fans on the show: Suns star Devin Booker is willing to renew his contract with the team in advance and is eager to live in the Suns.

Brian Windhorst revealed: "When it comes to Devin Booker, he can completely ask for a 2-year, about $150 million early contract renewal. If the Suns provide such a contract, Booker will definitely sign without hesitation. He only wants to stay with the Suns. No matter how many attractive chips there are (such as trading Booker in an exaggerated way, it can get 75 first-round picks), it will not shake his determination." Previously, there were reports that the Suns are expected to provide Booker with a 2-year, $149.8 million maximum salary renewal, which coincides with Booker's wishes.

Book's existing contract will expire in 2028, with his salary of $49.21 million this season, and his salary in the following three seasons will be $53.14 million, $57.08 million and $61.02 million respectively, with a total contract value of over $170 million in three years. And this summer, Booker is eligible to renew the 2-year, $149.8 million maximum salary contract with the Suns in advance.

Suns boss Ishbiya has made clear statements many times that Booker is the irreplaceable core of the team and the only non-sale product. He plans to continue to build a strong lineup around Booker, and to compete for the championship as the team's unswerving goal in the future. Booker himself has publicly stated more than once that he is willing to end his career in the city of Phoenix and fight for the honor of the Suns.

However, the Suns' record this season is not ideal, ranking 11th in the Western Conference with a record of 36 wins and 46 losses, missing the playoffs early. But even though the team's record was not good, Booker still devoted himself to playing for the Suns in 75 regular season games, averaging 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists per game, showing an extremely high competitive level and professional spirit.

Recalling Booker's 10-year NBA career, he has always played for the Suns, which can be regarded as a symbol of the team's loyalty. In these 10 years, he has been selected into the All-Star four times, 2 best teams, 3 best player of the month, and has won the three-point competition championship, and has followed the American men's basketball team to the Olympics twice and won the gold medal. These brilliant achievements not only prove Booker's personal strength, but also add glory to the Suns.

Now, Booker stays in the team, and the Suns will continue to build with him as the core. I believe that in the future, the Suns are expected to rise again with Booker's outstanding performance and the team's reasonable lineup configuration and launch a strong impact on the championship again. For Suns fans, this is undoubtedly the most anticipated thing. Let us witness the Suns write a new and brilliant chapter under the leadership of Booker.
