149.8 million in 2 years! Booker is expected to renew his contract with a maximum salary! Sun boss refuses to trade him

The Suns' new general manager (Brian Gregory) and new coach (Jordan Ultra) have already been settled, and the next step is to advance Durant's deal and Booker's contract renewal. What should Bill do? Can't do it! Bill holds the veto power of the transaction, and the Suns have no way to deal with him, so the recent trading rumors have nothing to do with Bill.

According to NBA famous reporter Marc Stein, Booker is eligible to sign a two-year, $149.8 million early contract renewal this summer, and the Suns are expected to give him this maximum salary. Booker's original contract was US$224 million for four years, and there were US$171 million for three years. After this contract renewal, Booker's remaining contract totaled $321 million in five years.

Book was born on October 30, 1996. By the time the contract expired in 2030, Booker was 34 years old. With a big contract of more than $300 million in five years, there are only two in the NBA today: Jaylen Brown and Tatum. If Booker completes his contract renewal, the Suns will definitely lose their hands. Unless the sun is determined to let Booker live his life in Phoenix.

Book has made public statements many times that he does not want to leave the sun and hopes to live his life in Phoenix. The Suns only Booker participated in the selection of coaches in this Big Three. He listed Jordan Ott as the first choice for the new coaches, and the Suns management accepted Booker's opinion. It can also be seen from this incident that the Suns really want to continue building a team around Booker. Will the Sun trade Booker? Boss Ishbiya said: "This question is stupid, the deal will never happen! Devin Booker, who has a peak state, must retain such a superstar and a great player in order to win the NBA championship." Is Booker really a super giant? Has he been overrated? Booker had never played in the playoffs before Paul joined the Suns. In the 2020 offseason, Paul was traded to the Suns by the Thunder, and they made it to the Finals. In the summer of 2023, Paul was sent to the Wizards. In the 2024 playoffs, the Suns were swept by the Timberwolves 0-4. In other words, after Paul left the team, Booker never won a single game in the playoffs.

Book played 75 games in the regular season of this season. He averaged 37.3 minutes per game, scored 25.6 points, 4.1 rebounds, 7.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 2.9 turnovers, and made three shooting percentages: 46.1%, 33.2%, and 89.4%. The average score and shooting percentage per game is the lowest in the past seven seasons, and the lowest in the past six seasons.

Booker averaged assists per game and hit a career high. The Suns did not have a qualified starting No. 1 position. Buden wanted Booker to transform, but to be honest, it was not a success. There is also an embarrassing stat: Durant and Booker have worked together for more than two years, and the Suns have changed three head coaches, and only won one round of the series during this period, and Paul was still in the team at that time.

Book was the No. 13 pick in the first round in 2015. He has been in this league for a full 10 years and has gone through 8 head coaches. On average, Booker has to change his new coach after a little more than a year. It can be said that the Suns coach has poor coaching ability, or it can be said that Booker is average in leading the team. Do you think Booker is the most overrated player in the league today?
