Devin Booker, star guard for the Phoenix Suns, recently stated his hopes for the organization to bolster their roster going forward. He spoke with Vincent Goodwill of Yahoo! Sports about his dream of a superteam in Phoenix.
“Dynasties only last so long, I’m not wishing trades upon any of the superteams. I’d like to build a superteam. I’d like the superteam to come to me.”
Phoenix has the potential to attract top-level NBA players going forward, having formed a young core of Booker and 2018 first overall pick Deandre Ayton. Phoenix also has a high probability to add another high draft pick to their roster, currently sitting in last place in the Western Conference with a record of 4-15.
In his interview with Yahoo!, Booker stated that he and Ayton could be lucrative enough pieces to persuade free agents in the direction of Phoenix, which is traditionally a small market in the overall NBA landscape.
“If that’s [building a Suns superteam] through free agency, people seeing what we have here with the big fella [Ayton] and myself and wanting to join in on that, to reach higher heights, then I’m with that.”
The 13th overall draft pick in 2015, the former Kentucky Wildcat is in the midst of a career year, averaging 24.9 points, 7.1 assists and 3.7 rebounds, with many around the league viewing Booker as a future all-star.
