Scotto: Booker's goal is to serve the Suns for life, and the Suns also hope to keep Booker.

According to Michael Scotto of HoopsHype on Wednesday, Devin Booker hopes to finish his career with the Phoenix Suns. Meanwhile, the Suns plan to continue building their roster around him.

The Suns have had a less than ideal start to the season, currently sitting in 11th place in the Western Conference with a 4-6 record after 10 rounds. This has led to rumors that Booker might transfer to another team, but these were quickly refuted by Scotto.

On the Deals and Dunks show, Scotto stated clearly: "From all the information I have so far, the Phoenix Suns want to keep Devin Booker and continue to build the team around him to improve the overall strength of the team. As for Devin Booker himself, as far as I know, his ideal goal is to play for the Suns for life."

Devin Booker, 30, is a 6'6" (1.96m) and 93kg (4.5kg) guard who was selected 13th overall in the first round of the 2015 NBA draft by the Phoenix Suns. He spent his first 11 seasons with the Suns, playing a total of 737 regular season games, averaging 24.6 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 5.3 assists in 34.3 minutes per game, and earning numerous individual accolades, including five NBA All-Star selections and one All-NBA First Team selection.

Booker also played 51 playoff games, averaging 27.5 points, 5.0 rebounds, 5.2 assists and 1.0 steals in 39.8 minutes per game, with a field goal percentage of 48.4% and a three-point percentage of 38.0%. His most representative playoff achievement was undoubtedly leading his team to the Western Conference semifinals in 2021.

Since the start of the season, Booker has played 10 regular season games for the Suns, averaging 25.1 points, 2.7 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 1.0 steals in 33.9 minutes per game, with a field goal percentage of 48.3% and a three-point percentage of 35.7%. Despite the Suns' underperformance, he has maintained a consistent level of individual performance.
