NBA Rumors: The superstar that New York Knicks want to become favorites for the championship

The Phoenix Suns face the summer after a playoff failure: the Big 3 was swept from the postseason by the Minnesota Timberwolves. And now what? The team can't handle the huge contracts of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker, and Bradley Beal.

Is a trade looming for any of them? The New York Knicks are desperate to acquire Booker, according to several reports. "He and Jalen Brunson would form an electrifying, high-scoring backcourt for one of the NBA's most pleasant surprises, and according to one source, New York would be willing to offer almost anything to make that pairing happen."

NBA's renowned journalist Stephen A. Smith says that Booker is itching to come to the Big Apple. Yes, Booker has mentioned that Madison Square Garden is his favorite arena in the league, but most Phoenix insiders say he doesn’t want to leave the desert.

But let's say a trade of Booker to the Knicks somehow finds its way onto the table. Brett Siegel of Clutch Points has proposed this deal that, hypothetically, would get it done. The Suns would receive Julius Randle, Donte DiVincenzo, Miles McBride, and multiple first-round picks, while the Knicks would land Devin Booker.

The Numbers Work for the Knicks

With Booker's $49.3 million contract, the combined salaries of those three Knicks would add up to $46.4 million next season, making this proposal pass the trade machine test. Additionally, the Knicks have 12 different first-round picks to choose from. It's a long shot since Booker seems to want to finish his career in Phoenix. But we've seen much crazier things happen in the NBA.
