Don't know if the Suns would consider trading booker but I think he would be a perfect fit in Philly.

Sixers trade Fultz, Covington, 10
And 26
Suns trade Booker
3rd team receives Bayless, 2 or 3 2nds to make money work and sends a future heavily protected 2nd to PHI

Suns have more time to develop players which Fultz needs and they gain a very solid wing defender in Covington With a great contract and 2 first rounders this year

Sixers get a guy capable of creating his own shot and hitting a 3 which they desperately needed this year. They then would need a wing with good defense to replace Covington, and Lebron would be perfect as he often likes to guard point guards and Simmons can guard the wing.

Simmons
Booker
Lebron
Saric
Embiid

If Lebron is still on the fence I really think this would make him rethink coming to Philly this would be a very competitive team

I don't think they want to trade Booker, as they've started to build around him. But if they did, they would have to be blown away, which this doesn't do. If you're talking Philly, the conversation starts with either Embiid or Simmons, and that's obviously where the conversation ends for Philly. They just aren't a good matchup since they're both in the build around young potential stars phase. Philly has done well with it. we'll see what happens with Phoenix this year.

As a sixer fan, I love it. As a realistic basketball fan, Suns Never do this trade.

Sorry I can't see this happening. Devin is too much of a liability when it comes to defense. I think he's a better shooter than Reddick, but that wasn't the problem with Reddick. Whoever he guarded ended up being a mismatch.

It seems like an overpay for Booker to me. I do like the idea of Philly consolidating, though.

Jack, you really think that Philly is the team that turns this down? Booker has a chance to be one of the best offensive players in the league. I don't think the Suns even take calls on him.

Rightly or otherwise, Suns Mgt decided to make Booker their "face of the team" so, there is no way this deal comes close to working on a number of levels. Now, most every player eventually ends up wearing out their welcome and that will happen with Booker in PHX but not just yet.
