Oh, snap! Devin Booker to the Knicks?!
In the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, the Phoenix Suns suffered an embarrassing sweep to the Minnesota Timberwolves that was a huge blow to the entire franchise. In fact, it was so big of a blow that we could see a big blowup of the team this offseason that would see superstars exiting Arizona.

And this could potentially involve guard Devin Booker heading to the Big Apple.
“Booker wants to be in New York,” said ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith on the Monday edition of “First Take.” “That’s what I’m being told. Now, he might deny it, I haven’t spoken to him. I’m just telling you the scuttlebutt in the NBA circles is that the brother wanna be in New York. So if you’re Phoenix, you’ve got at least two people — probably three — who are all getting paid about $150 million combined who don’t wanna be there.”

But like … even if the Suns wanted to change around their roster, are they going to be able to move these mega-contracts?
