Ex-NBA Veteran Wants Pistons to Pursue $316 Million Star

Devin Booker signed a contract extension with the Phoenix Suns, keeping him under contract through 2029 and ending speculation among some Detroit Pistons fans about a potential move. This extension adds $133 million to his existing four-year, $220 million deal, securing his future with the Suns until at least the 2030 offseason.

Former NBA player Brandon Jennings expressed continued interest in Booker joining the Pistons, despite the extension. After observing the Pistons' core players supporting their team at the Las Vegas Summer League, Jennings posted on social media: "This is going to be a good team next year. If they can get Devin Booker somehow mannnnn," suggesting Booker could elevate the team.

Booker, who is from Michigan and occasionally shows support for Detroit's non-Pistons teams, has consistently reaffirmed his commitment to Phoenix as the Suns' franchise player. His long-term extension solidifies his role as the face of the franchise.

Contractually, Booker cannot be traded under any circumstances until January 10, 2026. The Suns have made it clear they are fully invested in retaining their four-time All-Star for the foreseeable future, effectively removing him as a feasible target for the Pistons.
