Wow. For a moment let's imagine this is true. Dude just came off undefeated in the bubble, with lots of optimism, and he still wants out?? I suspect if the Suns falter out of the gate, Book is posturing to leave.
From a Dallas perspective, Book is arguably better than Beal. No way PHX trades Book to Dallas, but one can dream right? He's a guy I'd trade any first round pick out till 2028 to get. As pure of a scorer as it gets and is largely marred by poor shot selection with no structure in PHX. I think Carlisle could get the most out of him. But again, no way PHX gifts him to Dallas.
Overall, I think the rumor is bogus. Can't see Booker staking a fire of leaving after their bubble performance. But who knows? Maybe 5 losing seasons is enough to want out.
