Thunder eyeing blockbuster trade for Suns' Devin Booker
The Oklahoma City Thunder are strong contenders for the 2025 NBA championship. If they do not win, they may consider making significant changes to their roster this summer. The team has many draft picks to use in a potential blockbuster trade. One player Oklahoma City might target is Kevin Durant, a former Thunder star. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns are likely to trade Durant and focus on rebuilding around Devin Booker. Booker, who is 28 years old, has great scoring skills and could fetch a high return if traded. Although the Suns have said Booker is not for sale, some experts are skeptical. Chris Mannix from Sports Illustrated suggests it might be smart for Phoenix to reconsider and put Booker on the trade market. He pointed out that teams like the Houston Rockets and Detroit Pistons could be looking to acquire him. The Thunder could also be a strong candidate for Booker. He would complement Shai Gilgeous-Alexander well in their lineup. If Oklahoma City fails to win the championship, they may actively pursue a trade for Booker this summer. Meanwhile, if they succeed, they are likely to keep their current roster intact for next season.
