Probably not but he should be. He’s 28 and they have virtually no chance to build another contender with him

They should, but they'll probably hold onto him entirely too long.

There’a been rumors that Leon has wanted Booker for like the longest. I wonder if he’ll try to make it happen now. Like force the suns to trade him like we did with Brooklyn and mikal.

If they trade Booker it will be for a big asset move, their future pick situation is awful, they need to get picks back from teams. We just don't have the young players or assets they'd want even if he demanded to come here.

Kat and Booker are close friends as well
Only issue might be Booker was supposedly part of the coaching hiring process for the Suns this offseason

Seems like both teams took the L though maybe the Suns will get lucky with the 10th pick

Why would Houston do this? If you’re trading assets then aim higher.

Houston has a comical amount of assets left. They still have more Phoenix picks and a Brooklyn pick.

Rockets traded their future for win now. Even traded their number 10 pick. Horrible trade IMO. Youre betting your entire season on a dude that's going to be 37 and has played an average 66 games a season. If you don't win it next season, you're done. You got no future. This used to be the **** our old FO would do. Thank goodness!

Rockets getting out of the green contract is probably the best part of the deal.

brother they have so many more assets for the future..

Low risk for Rockets. They didn’t give up all that much and they’re in win now mode. And the West is wide open too.

For the NYK, I wonder if Leon will look at going after Booker… to pair with KAT and Brunson… as crazy as that sounds.

Idk we seen that mentality before. I think the Suns came out of this better all they got to do is wait for Beal to come off of their books

I can see the Suns being intrigued by a Jalen Green and KAT duo

Best way to get rid of Mikal and Hart.. but in that scenario we need to trade Mitch too... i dont know if we can find a suitable replacement in that trade for the salaries we could sent out... or at least a talent with rookie scale contract of draft compensation for Mitch

Then trade Achiuwa and that pick for Kessler

Kessler / Hukporti
Towns / Middleton or whoever for the tax MLE
Anunoby / Shamet
Booker / McBride
Brunson / Wright
