When Devin Booker signed his max contract extension last season, one year earlier than Phoenix needed to (essentially costing the Suns $18 million in spending money this offseason should they have opted to have him play out his fifth year under his rookie contract then have the max extension kick in with the 2020-21 season), they put a giant weight on the shoulders of a 22-year-old.
Most Suns fans would agree that the contract was well worth it as Booker exudes star qualities like the rest of us exude passion for the team. He simply has that it factor and is far too valuable – especially at his age – to let go to another franchise.
