The Houston Rockets are reportedly interested in Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker, but how realistic is an acquisition?

Don’t be surprised to see the Suns rising as the second half of the regular season unfolds. They have all the pieces to be much better than what their current record indicates.

For clarity, the Suns would send Booker to the Pistons for Jaden Ivey, Ausur Thompson, Isaiah Stewart, Tim Hardaway Jr, a 2026 first-round pick, and a 2028 first-round pick in Alamedad’s trade proposal.

Amen Thompsons late jumper secures a thrilling 114-112 victory for the Rockets over the Celtics, marking their third consecutive win.

Wembanyama becomes only the fourth Spurs player to make the All-Star Game in his first or second season. The others: Alvin Robertson in 1986, David Robinson in 1990 and 1991, and Tim Duncan in 1998.

Amen Thompson entered 2024-25 as an intriguing young piece for head coach Ime Udoka and the Houston Rockets. Recent weeks suggest Thompson is an ascendant star.

When Devin Booker was left off the NBA All-Star team, Suns head coach Mike Budenholzer explained why he deserves to be there.

A deep field of All-Star contenders meant there were a bunch of players that felt snubbed by Thursday’s announcement of reserves.

Devin Booker is closing in on the Phoenix Suns' all-time scoring record, needing just 91 more points to surpass Walter Davis.

These were my selections Monday, when I was musing about potential All-Star reserve selections in NBA Rewind: The toughest snubs for me in the East were LaMelo Ball, the unhealthy forwards from the Magic and either Nikola Vučević or Jarrett Allen for a frontcourt spot.
