Although the Suns team reporter kept saying that it is impossible for Devin Booker to leave Phoenix, anything can happen in this business alliance. The US media plans a one-for-five trade to kill the Rockets or become a bargaining chip. Kobe's successor may leave the team?
The Suns and the Kings trading plan
Obviously Booker’s trading value is very high. Basketball website BR published an article. One of the plans was for the Suns to send Devin Booker to the Kings in the same division in exchange for Pakistan. Di Hild, Belica, a first-round pick and a second-round pick this year, plus a protected first-round pick in 2022.
Booker
The Suns and the Kings are a pair of difficult brothers. The Suns have missed the playoffs for 10 consecutive years, and the Kings are even worse. The last time they made the playoffs was the matter of the 05-06 season. Due to the same shooting guard position, being selected with the 13th overall pick in the first round, having scored 70 points in a single game and showing strong offensive ability, Devin Booker was also known as Kobe's heir. Booker averaged 26.6 points, 4.2 rebounds and 6.5 assists per game last season, and was selected to the All-Star for the first time in his alternate career. After the rematch, the Suns won 8 consecutive victories. Booker is one of the best players in the league. He looks like an all-round upgraded version of Hilder. Booker's partner Fox may make the Kings transform.
Hilder
Hilder's personal ability is also very strong, averaging 19.2 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game last season. The problem is that Hilder had conflicts with the team last season. First, he was a little unhappy about the issue of contract extension. Although Hilder got a lucrative new contract later, there was obviously a gap between the two sides. Not to mention that Hilder could only play as a substitute most of last season, which made him very dissatisfied. If it can be used as the main bargaining chip in exchange for better mature star players, it is obviously acceptable.
Belica
As for Belica, he is best known for hitting a three-pointer at the buzzer against the Rockets last season and helping the team take away the victory. Of course, Belica himself is also very good. With Bagley out of the game for a long time due to injury, he firmly occupies the position of the starting power forward, averaging 11.5 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 assists per game. His three-point shooting percentage exceeded 40%. Even if Booker is sent away, the Suns can get strong players, expiring contracts, and a large number of draft picks. This is a sufficiently generous return. Then it depends on how much young people such as Ayton, Johnson and Bridges can get. Grow up.
