The Suns’ Ideal Trade Target to Pair With Devin Booker Is Officially Dangling on the Trade Market

Phoenix, AZ – The Phoenix Suns have entered a critical phase in their pursuit of another deep playoff run, and league sources confirm that their ideal trade target, the type of player perfectly suited to complement franchise star Devin Booker, is officially being dangled on the trade market.

For weeks, speculation has swirled around the Suns’ front office as to whether they would aggressively pursue roster upgrades, particularly after their struggles in finding a consistent secondary playmaker and defensive anchor to balance out the Booker–Kevin Durant–Bradley Beal trio. Now, with rival teams openly making calls and testing the market, the opportunity has emerged for Phoenix to strike a deal that could reshape its title outlook.

The target in question—whose name executives are keeping guarded but is believed to be a versatile two-way contributor—fits the exact mold the Suns need: a player capable of alleviating Booker’s scoring load while also providing toughness on the other end of the floor. According to insiders, the Suns see this as the missing piece that could stabilize rotations, reduce heavy reliance on isolation scoring, and strengthen their ability to compete against Western Conference giants like Denver and Minnesota.

General Manager James Jones is said to be weighing multiple packages, with draft compensation and young depth pieces expected to headline any potential offer. While the Suns have limited assets after their blockbuster moves in recent years, there is growing belief within the organization that the front office will not shy away from taking another big swing.

For Devin Booker, the possibility of finally having an ideal co-star alongside the current All-Star core could be the difference between another early postseason exit and a legitimate chance to capture the franchise’s first championship. As one league insider put it, “The Suns know their window is now. If this player is truly available, they have to do everything possible to land him.”

All eyes now turn to Phoenix’s next move. With the trade market heating up, the clock is ticking, and the Suns appear poised to make headlines yet again.
