US media lists 5 and 1 plan, Booker can join the Raptors Group s Big Three to win the championship, and the Suns are rebuilding with peace of mind

This offseason, many stars have received super maximum salary contracts. For example, after Alexander completed his personal honorary Grand Slam last season, the Thunder immediately received a four-year maximum salary contract of 285 million, which is considered to be a recognition of the "No. 1 player in the league". Doncic and the Lakers also completed a three-year, 165 million maximum salary renewal, because the NBA salary stipulates that the Lakers can only give a three-year or four-year contract. Doncic signed a three-year, in order to get a five-year, 417 million maximum salary as soon as possible. Including the 22-year No. 1 pick, Kairo, who also received a 5-year, super maximum salary renewal from Magic. As long as the data is released and as long as it is still young enough, the league has never lacked big contracts. But there is a contract renewal that is really surprising, that Booker renewed the Suns for 145 million yuan in two years, which is meaningless to both parties.

The Suns sent Durant away this summer in exchange for Jaylen Green + Brooks, and in addition to buying out Bills, the only three giants last season was Booker left behind, and the iron-clad soldiers were fighting, just because Booker was the core of the team. But judging from the strength lists given by various US media and the NBA, the Suns have almost been scheduled to be in a bad position in the new season, and they are around 13th in the West. If the Trail Blazers are not able to surpass the Suns. The reason why he gave such a low expectation was because Booker had no upper limit to lead the team. As an example, if Durant did not play, it would be difficult for Booker to lead the team to win. The Suns boss claims that he will not show off because they are not qualified to show off. Future draft picks or draft swaps are all in the hands of other teams, and showing off is to make wedding dresses for others.

But what is even more helpless is that after Booker completes this contract renewal, his salary in the next five years will be: 53.14 million + 57.08 million + 61.02 million + 69.88 million + 75.47 million, totaling 320 million super maximum salary in five years. Does the Sun give Booker a super maximum salary, but it only provides others with every year? In this regard, column reporter Bitar analyzed that there is a possibility that the Sun can sell Booker at a high level, train young people wholeheartedly in exchange for useful reconstruction chips. The Raptors have a clear need for stars in the entire league. The Raptors used DeRozan to exchange Leonard for Leonard in the summer of 2018, and had a successful precedent. This is a rare opportunity. It is based on the lack of fierce competition in the Eastern Conference next season and is expected to become the new overlord. In this regard, the US media listed a 5-for-1 trading plan!

The details are as follows: The Raptors get Booker, and the Suns get from the Raptors: Barrett + Quickley + 28-year first-round pick + 31-year first-round pick + 32-year first-round pick. First of all, for the Raptors, the best way for them to make the team rise quickly is to build the Big Three, which is just one core defender. Booker averaged 25.6 points, 7 assists and 4 rebounds per game last season. He can play the main attacker and share organizational pressure. Barnes is the cornerstone of the team's future, but he needs help. Ingram is efficient, but his stable attendance rate is not enough. If the Big Three get together, the Raptors will not rely too much on a certain player, and the Raptors can instantly advance from a team on the edge of the playoffs to the top three levels in the Eastern Conference. Moreover, around the Big Three, there are also important role players such as Boltel, Dick, and Abaki. The entire lineup is deep, but there was no upper limit support before. Booker's arrival is not to raise the upper limit, but to help Barnes grow and ensure the lower limit of the team in the Raptors' lineup. And for the Suns, this deal has three major benefits. First of all, it releases the pressure on the team to Booker’s 317 million max salary in five years. After all, Booker is already 29 years old. By the end of this contract, he will be 34 years old. If the Suns keep Booker, the team will keep the tail of the crane. Secondly, Quickley is only 26 years old, Barrett is only 25 years old, and they are of the same age as Jaylen Green. The Suns can take advantage of their lack of first-round picks in an orderly manner in the past few years to fully train the new trio, even if they don’t succeed, it doesn’t matter.

Finally, the Suns can get three first-round picks, which is also the key to their future rise. In the previous deal between Durant and Bill, the Suns lost 10 first-round picks inside and outside. The Rockets have the Suns in 27 years, the Magic and the Grizzlies have the Suns' first round swap rights in 26 years, the Wizards and the Nets have the Suns' first round swap rights in 28 years, the Wizards and the Grizzlies have the Suns' first round swap rights in 30 years, the Rockets and the Nets have the Suns' first round swap rights in 29 years, and the Rockets and the Nets have the Suns' first round picks for 29 years. Of course, it doesn't make sense for the Suns to lose their money in the next 5 years, but it doesn't make sense to continue to strengthen around Booker! The best way is to use this mean period to polish the lineup, or try to exchange for their first round picks. Even if they fail, they have nothing to lose, and they have already severely reduced their volume to the end. The transaction

is actually a perfect solution for all three parties. Booker is in the East, and the probability of winning the championship is greater, not to mention that the Raptors have this foundation; the Raptors need an All-Star defender, partnering with Barnes and Ingram, and the competition in the East is not fierce next season, so the Raptors have a chance to replicate the glory of the 2019 season; for the Suns, it is not embarrassing to admit that the failure of Booker's contract renewal and the failure of Booker's gamble in the past few years is not embarrassing. The key is to see when to stop in time. If you keep making mistakes, it is hopeless, and it will be difficult to turn things around in the future.
