ESPN NBA insider Brian Windhorst is very strong in the belief that franchise cornerstone Devin Booker still has no interest in departing Phoenix - even to the point of still intending to spend the remainder of his career in the Valley. "The Devin Booker that I know wants to be a Phoenix Sun for his entire career," said Windhorst.

“The only way for the Suns to dig out of this mess is to start digging out of it and the Houston Rockets are the prime example of this,” Bontemps said. “The Houston Rockets, yeah they had Russell Westbrook, that they got rid of for some ancillary stuff.

The Phoenix Suns will honor Devin Booker becoming the franchise's all-time leading scorer as they play the Utah Jazz on Friday at Footprint Center.

The Phoenix Suns made it clear that everyone was available this trade deadline. Stuck at 25-25, 9th in the Western Conference, the franchise knew it needed to change.
