The Phoenix Suns seem to be unstoppable inside the Orlando bubble. Devin Booker led Suns have outplayed every team that they have faced so far. This 4-0 winning streak for Booker is the first in his five year NBA career. Is it an indication for him to pack his bags and join another team in the league?

There are several people who believe in the same. Is it really time for Booker to take his talents elsewhere instead of wasting his time in Phoenix? Well, three-time NBA champion Draymond Green certainly thinks so.

Since the Golden State Warriors aren’t competing in the bubble, Green is now making appearances on TNT as an analyst. He was in the studio for a pre-game show between Orlando Magic and the Philadelphia 76ers, but got into a slightly different topic for about a moment.

Draymond Green is against Devin Booker signing a long-term deal with the Phoenix Suns

It has been a decade since the Suns last made the playoffs. The franchise is currently enduring its worst-ever postseason drought. But, they found a tremendous scorer in Devin Booker who can lead them to make title shots. But the young man requires a talented lineup to support his talent too. That hasn’t been the case for the past five years. 

Draymond Green did not hold back any words when talking about Devin Booker on TNT’s pre-game show. Here’s what he said about Booker being stuck in Phoenix

“It’s great to see Book playing well and Phoenix playing well,” Green said. “But get my man out of Phoenix. It’s not good for him, it’s not good for his career. Sorry, Chuck, but they’ve got to get Book out of Phoenix. I need my man to go somewhere where he can play great basketball all the time and win because he’s that type of player.”

For once, even non-GSW fans will also agree with Green on his statement. We too feel that Booker should find a better team that will help him achieve his dreams. But, the 23-year-old signed a five-year extension with the franchise that will keep him with the team until the 2023-24 NBA season.
