Should the Suns trade Devin Booker? Will they?

We’ve been staring long and hard into the murky waters of the Phoenix Suns’ offseason, searching for any glimpse of clarity. This isn’t just another offseason. It’s one that feels like it could define the next half-decade of this franchise, for better or worse.
I spent the past few days doing what every hopeless sports romantic does: watching the NFL Draft. Every pick, every trade, every desperate attempt by teams to change their fates. I was there, soaking it in. Yeah, I’m that guy. Hell, my wife even watched it with me this year and became very invested in the Shedeur Sanders’ saga.
Naturally, it got me thinking about the Suns.
The Suns, bless their battered soul, are in a pickle. We all know it. That’s why every move this summer needs to be made with surgical precision and maybe a bit of divine luck. In the NFL, it feels like you can flip the script with one or two bold moves. (Well, unless you’re the Arizona Cardinals) But in the NBA? It’s different. In this league, it takes vision. It takes discipline. It takes time. And time…is not exactly on Phoenix’s side.
We’ve been kicking around all the options here. Laying it all bare. We even made the case—sacrilegious as it sounds—for why the Suns could trade Devin Booker, their decade-long loyal star. And of course, we made the case for why they absolutely, positively should not.
Now, once again, it’s your turn. It’s time to ask the community: Should the Phoenix Suns trade Devin Booker? And, perhaps even more interesting, will they?
Yes, there are unknowns. We don’t yet know who the next head coach will be. We don’t know if the rumored front office reshuffle will materialize. But clarity is a luxury we don’t have right now. So we push forward anyway.
Poll time. Let’s hear it.
