Many years ago, Piston GM Jack McCoskey literally offered his entire Pistons roster for Magic Johnson. The Lakers declined, and it ended up working out well for both teams. So here’s Phoenix, above the second apron, perhaps looking to make a move. How about…..
Duren
Ivey
Thompson
Sassar
Stewart
2024 first round pick (Top 5)
Anyone else Phoenix wants besides Cade
For
Booker?
For Phoenix, it’s a way to get several young NBA players added to Durant and Beal. They need more good young bodies for both the present and future. They also shave millions off their payroll.
For Detroit
Build around Cade and Booker, lots of cap space to fill the roster.
Who says no? It would make both teams very interesting to watch next season…..

I'd say the status quo in Phoenix is better than trading one of your two pillars for the 2nd-4th best guys on a 14-win team and a pick

Re: The Big Time Booker Trade….
The only play for Phoenix is to try and make improvements and run it back. A rebuild is not a viable option with their pick situation. Booker won’t be traded unless he asks out.
Which there’s no indication of.
And IF they were to deal him they’d want a series of picks to restock, or else they’d want a blue chip guy. They won’t take one pick and a collection of possible misses.
Tl;dr- they won’t trade Booker and would have better options if they were to consider it.

Re: The Big Time Booker Trade….
Suns would be much better off than they are now. Booker Beal Durant way too redundant
Duren KD Ausar Beal Ivey starters
Sasser Grayson Little Nurkic Stewart plus top5 pick off the bench
Royce and Gordon could still comeback
Pistons end up with 2 guys and alot of work leftover to fill out the roster
