Fact or fiction: Analyzing 12 Golden State Warriors trade rumors
By Tony Pesta
10. Devin Booker – Fiction (for now)
No, we won’t be seeing Devin Booker suit up for any other team than the Phoenix Suns next season and there is ABSOLUTELY no reason to even debate if the franchise is considering trading their most exciting prospect of the last decade following the team’s best performance in years.
Booker may have been on the trading block had the Suns not rampaged to an 8-0 record in the bubble – giving the franchise hope for the first time in what feels like forever. With a strong young core blooming and Booker entering his contract extension, there is no reason for the Suns to trade him away.
However, there is a possibility for Booker to one day join Golden State. Booker will be a free agent in 2024. He will be 27 years old at that point with plenty of gas left in the tank to join the Warriors and become the face of the franchise.
Still, it is much too early to think about Booker potentially joining the Dubs in 2024. There is too much that could happen in between now and then. For the moment, Booker to the Warriors is pure fiction.
