Many reports say that the New York Knicks are very interested in Devin Booker and are willing to do everything to bring him to pair with Jalen Brunson in the 2024/25 season.

Join Sporting News to learn about the feasibility of Booker’s transfer to the Knicks.

Devin Booker will go to the New York Knicks?

Just a few days after being eliminated from the Playoffs by the Minnesota Timberwolves with a score of 0-4, rumors surrounding the future of the “super team” Phoenix Suns appeared. The plan to create a super offensive squad with Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal has failed. Immediately after that, the question arose: Will any star have to leave Arizona after this season?

The Suns can maintain the current roster and persevere with the proposed plan, like the Timberwolves did with the trio of Karl-Anthony Towns, Rudy Gobert and Anthony Edwards. However, rumors suggest the Knicks are interested in Booker. According to Phoenix sports reporter  Gerald Bourguet , the Knicks are willing to do everything to bring him back and pair up with Brunson.

Booker still has four years left on his supermax contract from 2022 . Therefore, to take Booker away from Footprint Center, clubs must make huge offers. And the Knicks are one of the few teams that can do that. The Eastern representative owns a number of players that fit Booker’s contract, along with a number of future NBA Draft picks.

The Knicks are ready to do everything to get Booker, but the question is whether the Suns superstar is ready to conquer the new challenge?

Booker’s contract does not contain a no-trade clause. However, the Suns will not let their star leave easily, especially when he is only 27 years old and is entering the peak of his career.

New York Knicks picks in the NBA Draft

To convince the Suns, in addition to players, the Knicks must add a number of future picks. Below are the picks the Knicks currently own.

Booker is under contract until 2028 after  signing a supermax extension  with the Suns in 2022. He will become an unrestricted free agent after the 2027/28 season.
