Sources: Suns, Booker closing in on max deal

Devin Booker and the Phoenix Suns are progressing toward finalizing a five-year, $158 million maximum contract extension as soon as this weekend, league sources told ESPN. The Suns presented the offer to Booker in Los Angeles on Tuesday, sources said.

Both sides plan to finalize the agreement shortly after the conclusion of the moratorium on Friday, league sources said.

Booker, 21, has rapidly developed into the Suns' cornerstone star and the franchise's hope to lead it out of the lottery and back to the NBA playoffs.

Turn down 158 Ms

he would get that back at another location. Imh

 

[NoMorePie]

Make 158m by the age of 26?

Then sign a supermax, by the time would be like $260m

Pretty sure this the most he can get right now. He'll only be 26 the end of this deal. Young enough to potentially go to a contender if he's looking to win after securing the bag

 

[King Poetic]

That's right..play for the money..but try to get a little more tho

 

[BigMoneyGrip]

How old is he again? Get that bag young man

 

[sfgiants]

Good move, he can leave after that 5th year because this dog shyt laughingstock team isn’t going anywhere

 

[Jax]

Get injured one year and go from 158 milly to 30 or something. Nah b.

 

[MITS]

fukk Winning

Get the bag

 

[Reggie]

Booker might end up being the highest paid player ever. He's got a chance to sign TWO more max deals after this. He can get one at like 26 then another at like 30/31 if he's still as productive as expected.

 

[kuts]

I don't really watch the Suns, so what's this guy's player profile? I know he had that one high scoring game, but even then I wasn't exactly wowed...lmk.
