Suns owner, Mat Ishbia gave a clear and definitive answer to one Pistons fan who would like to see Devin Booker get traded to his favorite team. The post Mat Ishbia Gives Definitive Answer on Devin Booker Suns-Pistons Trade Proposal appeared first on HEAVY.
Devin Booker, the Phoenix Suns' star basketball player, has inked the highest annual-value-contract in NBA history, a two-year, $145 million deal that extends through the 2029-30 season. Despite the Suns failing to reach the playoffs since 2023, Suns owner Mat Ishbia remains committed to keeping Booker with the team indefinitely.
When asked if he would trade Booker to the Detroit Pistons, a fan’s original query originating from Ishbia's home state of Michigan, Ishbia shot back, "When I'm dead." The owner reiterated that Booker will never be a Detroit Piston, emphasizing his dedication to the franchise player. Booker, a 29-year-old shooting guard, is widely recognized as one of the NBA's top offensive players, averaging 26.1 points, 6.0 assists, and 3.9 rebounds per game over the past season while being named to three NBA All-Star games and two All-NBA Teams.
His contract, however, could pose a challenge for any prospective team due to the substantial salary and projected increases over the following years.
