Is A Devin Booker To The Timberwolves Trade In The Works?

Devin Booker may be on his way out of Phoenix. Now, the question is, what suitors will emerge for Booker.

Last week, Ryen Rusillo went on Bill Simmons’s podcast and said it’s the “worst kept secret” that Devin Booker wants out of Phoenix.

“They have to worry about the Booker thing,” he said. “The worst-kept secret in the league is Booker already wants out of there. And if it’s another bad season, I actually think that could get ugly.”

Some suitors immediately surfaced for Booker. Among them were the New York Knicks and the Timberwolves. It seems like the Timberwolves rumor is picking up a little more steam.

Shams Charania of The Athletic wrote about the likelihood of Devin Booker ending up on Minnesota in his most recent column.

“Wolves fans also got their hopes up after listening to Bill Simmons’ podcast with Ryen Russillo this week. Both are plugged into NBA circles, and Russillo said “it’s the worst-kept secret in the NBA” that Booker wants out of Phoenix. Given that Towns, Booker and Russell are close friends, that would seem to put the Wolves near the top of the list of possible suitors,” Shams wrote.

“The Wolves have been looking into Booker’s potential availability for months but have been given no indication that he is available, league sources said. The Suns were one of the best stories of the Orlando bubble, going 8-0 as Booker emerged as a dynamic playmaker and scorer. There is a belief that Phoenix wants to see if the magic they discovered in Orlando can carry over to the start of this season, and it appears that they won’t have to wait much longer to find out if the union approves a plan to begin the season on Dec. 22.”

We’ll see if a Devin Booker trade comes to be. He’s turning into one of the top scorers in the league, and I’d imagine teams would be lining up for his services.
