Booker postgame about the Suns fans:
Another way to perceive what Booker meant was that fans could only afford one ticket to witness the four-time All-Star play in person once in their lifetime. The message could easily be considered a misunderstanding that has nothing to do with the 28-year-old’s future with the franchise.
Regardless, the phrasing of “last time” has added fuel to the fire around social media and the panic amongst Suns fans about the franchise cornerstone possibly leaving the Valley.

Booker has made it clear he doesn’t want to leave Arizona, wanting to play his entire career wearing the purple and orange. Suns owner Mat Ishbia has shared that sentiment, not wanting to trade Booker, but the current state of the franchise put anything on the table to try and salvage it from its dire conditions.
Massive changes will happen this offseason, leaving the fans waiting on pins and needles to see when the first domino drops.
