Suns Shutdown Devin Booker Trade Rumors Once Again

There are three guarantees in life. Death, taxes, and Devin Booker trade rumors, and we’ve got another rumor today. Amid an underwhelming 4-6 start for the Phoenix Suns that saw Booker have one of the worst games of his career, talks about the franchise’s all-time leading scorer’s future once again arose, and NBA Insider Mike Scotto put a nip in the bud about him going anywhere.

With stars like Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard getting traded from the organizations that they spent the first decade-plus with, many start to question players in similar spots’ futures, especially when they don’t appear to be title contenders like the Suns don’t project to be anytime soon.

But the Suns or Booker have left no tea leaves to indicate a split is on the rise. In fact, they’ve stayed loyal to each other.

Signing an extension last offseason, Booker and the organization have expressed their admiration and commitment towards each other numerous times, and team owner Mat Ishbia has been on record multiple times in 2026 saying he’s staying in Phoenix.

Leading the team in scoring and assists, Booker’s efficiency and scoring are up since the start of November, and the team has won three of their last four, including their first win over the Houston Rockets in nearly 1400 days, but if the team doesn’t climb up the standings amid a wounded Western Conference and heightened expectations after a surprising playoff berth a season ago, the noise will get noisier about the star’s long-term future.
