The Devin Booker non-appreciation thread.

Get out of the Booker business while you still can get close to top dollar

yes, Finito, finito already. It's time to get back to the business of winning and competing for a championship. And out of the Booker business the Suns and Arizona Sports has been in for a decade. I'm sick of the hype and the glorification with nothing to show for it but his name on sneakers and face on posters and video games.

Because the Suns have some fairly impressive drafted rookies in Dunn and Ighodaro, I might be willing to back away from wanting to keep Booker. Unless they throw Dunn and Ighodaro away, Booker is technically not the Suns' only home-drafted product. Just the most successful. But he has plateaued and also displayed his lack of fire or leadership. Dunn or Ighodaro might display more give-a-**** than Booker.

unfortunately, however, the "top dollar" opportunity has passed. And that was validated yesterday with him being voted only "9th GUARD in THE WEST." Top dollar was for the brief period someone other than a local fan considered him close to being a top 10 PLAYER in THE LEAGUE! And, perhaps, that was what all the Booker hype this month was about. Shoring up his face value because the All Star designation is to the NBA market, what an Oscar nomination is to a film's marketability.
