Sun Media Day: Booker and Green Dillon officially debut, boss explains the deal Durant and praises Booker

On September 25, the Phoenix Suns officially held the new season media day. Devin Booker joined hands with new players Green and Dillon to make a photo and take a final shot. Booker admitted that he still had an unfinished mission. The Suns boss bluntly said that he was the cornerstone of the team; Jaylen Green responded to being traded by the Rockets, and Marvel bluntly said that he wanted to make the Hornets regret it; Ishbia responded to the trade again: he is not suitable for our future plans.

On Sun Media Day, when talking about renewing the contract and staying at the Sun, Booker said: I still have an unfinished mission here. I am very clear about what the championship means to this city and this team. We are really serious about basketball.

Book said his leadership is more important than ever: I will do my best to speak out as much as possible because I feel that the connection within our team was not that close last year.

This offseason, the Suns and Booker renewed their 2-year, $145 million contract in advance. Speaking of Booker, Suns owner Ishbiya said: He is the cornerstone of the team and one of the greatest players in the history of the Suns. He is willing to stay here, just as we want him to stay, and it is a wonderful partnership. He is our core and the soul of leading the team to compete for the championship. This team belongs to him, and this is very clear and there is no doubt about it. Booker is the ultimate winner and this year he will prove it to everyone. I'm very lucky to have a team with Devin Booker as the core. Fans love him, he is everything in the community. How can we not have Devin Booker?

Speaking of new aid Dillon Brooks, Booker said: On the day the deal was completed, he called me immediately. You will hate him when he is not on your team, but you will hug him when he is on your team. I think his reputation has covered up what kind of player he is.

Sun boss Ishbiya also praised Dillon, saying: When we made the Durant deal, we wanted Dillon. He is the kind of player we are talking about, the one we hope to stay—a strong sense of defense, a tough personality, and a responsible person who will stand up for his teammates.

Ishbiya also said: Obviously, Durant's career is very exciting, but he is not suitable for our next plan.

Suns head coach Jordan Ott said: Dillon's sharpness and competitive spirit in the game are unparalleled. He is a very hard-working player and one of the hardest players I have ever met.

Suns new player Jaylen Green revealed that he has been strengthening his mid-range shooting recently, whether it is a throwing or a mid-range emergency stop jump shot, because the opponent has been limiting his three-pointers or shots at the basket, so he needs to adapt to his opponent's defensive style.

Speaking of the feeling of being traded by the Rockets, Jaylen Green said: It's not disappointing, but it's even more shocking, but I know I have to get out of this emotion as soon as possible, and now I'm very happy to be here myself.

Jaylen Green also said: I'm so happy to play with Booker, I think we'll praise each other, and I think we can create a lot for each other.

Suns newcomer Mark Williams talked about being traded by the Hornets, and said: When the Hornets first traded me, I knew it was only a matter of time before I left. My goal now is to make them regret this decision every time they step on the court.

Before the trading deadline of last season, the Hornets traded Mark Williams to the Lakers, and both sides have officially announced that the transaction was reached. However, the Lakers announced that the transaction was cancelled because Ma Wei failed the physical examination. Ma Wei returned to the Hornets, and Kneckett returned to the Lakers. Ma Wei was traded by the Hornets this summer, and he will play for the Suns in the new season.

Talking about his expectations for the team in the new season, Ishbiya said: I hope we can win more games than last year, but the fact is that this year's results will not be measured by victory or defeat, but by success or failure.
