NBA Fans React to Stunning Devin Booker Suns Contract Decision originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
The Phoenix Suns have had a bizarre 2025 offseason.
Let's be real, they've had a bizarre several years, thanks to overwhelmed new owner Mat Ishbia's influence on the club's roster and coaching moves.
On Wednesday, two major moves happened to further add to the Suns' strange summer.
ESPN's Shams Charania reports that, following a meeting with Ishbia in Las Vegas in the midst of Summer League activities, All-Star shooting guard Devin Booker has inked a two-season, $145 million maximum contract extension that will keep him under team control through 2029-30.
As Charania notes, this now becomes the biggest yearly extension salary in the history of league.
Until the next maximum extension deal pops up, of course.
Booker and owner Mat Ishbia met in Las Vegas tonight to finalize the contract, which cements Booker’s commitment to the Suns vision for the future and him as the franchise’s leader moving forward. Booker now has five years and $316 million total on his Suns deal. https://t.co/1c8dlzY4Mz
