The allure of Los Angeles is undeniable, but for now, Phoenix Suns superstar Devin Booker seems content staying put. During a lighthearted interaction, a Lakers fan urged Booker to join the iconic Purple & Gold. Booker, ever the professional, simply laughed it off, leaving fans to wonder what could be.
It's no surprise that Lakers fans are dreaming of Booker in their lineup. His talent is undeniable, and any team would be lucky to have him.
However, it's important to note that Booker is locked in with the Suns until at least the end of the 2028-29 season. His two-year, $133.25 million contract extension, signed in 2025, includes a player option worth $69.191 million for the 2029-30 season.
Barring a surprising trade, the only realistic path for Lakers fans to see Booker in Los Angeles colors is if he chooses to decline that player option and sign with the Lakers in 2029. If he picks up the option, the next opportunity would be in 2030.

Heading into the All-Star break, Booker is putting up impressive numbers, averaging 25.2 points, 6.3 assists, and 4.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 45.5% from the field. His performance continues to be a cornerstone for the Suns, making any potential move a significant talking point for fans and analysts alike.
