One Eastern Conference GM, unsolicited, asked, “Does Book want to stay in Phoenix? Unclear.” A second Eastern Conference executive pointed to the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder as other candidates who could see Booker as an ideal fit. For the Spurs it would be pairing him with rookie big man Victor Wembanyama. The Thunder already have a promising young backcourt in point guard Shai Gilgeous Alexander and shooting guard Jalen Williams, but both being practically the same size as the 6’6″ Booker, that could make for a formidable trio of two-way threats. “San Antonio has the assets to get him,” he said. “So does Oklahoma City. And it’s really the only way Phoenix can change course.”

How to fix Phoenix #Suns?:
“It’s not going to happen, but I might try to turn the page and see what the market is for Kevin Durant and with Devin Booker, this is probably the best time to trade him if you’re going to totally change directions.” @IanBegley tinyurl.com/nhx6haxc – 4:18 PM

The Nuggets had a “mental day” of practice on Wednesday. They met as a team, closed the book on the Lakers and turned the page to the Timberwolves and the problems they present. Today at practice, they went over Minnesota’s plays, their personnel and installed their game plan. – 4:59 PM

“Last Comiskey” was a documentary.
Now it’s also a book!
I speak with Ken Smoller (@StadiumVagabond) about a ballpark that still grips the hearts and souls of White Sox fans long after it’s been gone.

More on this storyline
The Western Conference executive seconded the idea of keeping the core three intact and fitting better pieces around them. “Because you have those three guys, you’re going to have a winning team,” he said. “Are you going to win a championship? Maybe not. I would just address the obvious needs and run it back, because if you just get rid of everybody to start over, you don’t know how long that’s going to take that. Do you have two or three years as a new owner to just watch the team grow? I think you’ve got to find a way to win back your fan base because your fan base is down on you right now.” -via FoxSports.com / May 5, 2024

Gerald Bourguet: Mat Ishbia on whether the Suns need a point guard: “Most people will argue, and I think James and Frank will agree with this: You want the ball in the hands of those 3 [Big 3] as much as possible.” -via Twitter @GeraldBourguet / May 1, 2024
