Oh so we like Booker again? He can stay? I get so confused

I don't think anyone "dislikes" Booker, just many of us dislike when Booker goes into selfish mode, chucker mode, or hero mode. It just hurts the offense, and makes it extremely difficult to get a solid team win.

I remember this interview. I never have and never will take Book for granted

Me too. And remember how the media tried to take it out of context and say Booker wants out of Phoenix.

I did bold something in that quote though, gonna be tough to keep the arena alive when the housing prices have nearly doubled in the last year and some change in the greater Phoenix area. Ridiculous. There is so much land available in AZ that houses shouldn't cost $500k.

Not just that, but the trade board here became unbearable due to lobsided Booker trades with the justification "better to trade him for our 8th best player than to lose him for nothing" (as opposed to now, when the trade board is unbearable due to overzealous moderators).

There was also a quote by Booker from a few years ago about how he wants to bring a championship to Phoenix (I'll link the thread in here later, bookmarked it at the time to bump after we win a championship ).

The mocking responses to Booker's statement are delicious to read now
