Report: Suns Could Get 4 1st-Round Picks In Devin Booker Trade

March 10, 2025

According to NBA reporter Duane Rankin of The Arizona Republic, the Phoenix Suns could get four first-round picks in a Devin Booker trade.

Booker, 28, is one of the best scorers in the NBA.

“Sources informed The Republic the Suns could probably get four first round picks for Booker and a rising star in his third or fourth year,” Rankin wrote. “Booker has zero options on his four-year, $220-million supermax that will have three years remaining after this season, but Booker has stayed 10 with the Suns through the good and bad.”

Booker is slated to make $53.1 million in 2025-26. He has spent his entire career with the Suns.

The Houston Rockets are interested in trading for Booker, sources told Hoops Wire.

A Kentucky product, Booker is averaging 26.0 points, 4.0 rebounds and 6.9 assists this season while shooting 45.7% from the field, 34.5% from beyond the arc and 89.4% from the free-throw line.

Despite having Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, the Suns are only 30-34. They are in 11th place in the Western Conference standings.

Booker was the 13th overall pick in the 2015 NBA Draft. He has career averages of 24.4 points, 4.0 rebounds and 5.2 assists.

A four-time All-Star, Booker scored 70 points against the Boston Celtics in Boston during the 2016-17 season.

“The Suns have a failing and hugely expensive big three, and that’s untenable in the apron era,” NBA insider Brian Windhorst of ESPN wrote. “Durant, Beal and Booker will make a combined $150 million next season, the most expensive trio in the league, and they’re not working together. Beal has a no-trade clause, and he made it very clear he doesn’t intend to waive it. Booker is deemed untouchable and doesn’t want to leave. That leaves the options as status quo or trading Durant as part of a roster restructuring. The status quo is unacceptable, so you start to see how this trade Durant reality comes into focus. The Suns apparently already came to this conclusion because they had talks with several teams about moving Durant at the deadline. The conditions in Phoenix have only deteriorated since.”
