Devin Booker won't go anywhere for the foreseeable future.
The Phoenix Suns superstar has agreed to a two-year, $145 million maximum extension that will allow him to maintain the franchise for the 2029-30 season.
Booker's deals include the highest annual deferred salary in NBA history of $72.5 million, surpassing the average annual $71.25 million for Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, according to ESPN's Shams Charania.
The move is in line with Booker’s comments about how he wants to be a family in March.
“I'm proud of the community in Phoenix and have been supporting me since I was 18 when it was ugly,” Booker told Tim Macmahon of ESPN. “And there are people with us, we just can't do everything we want. So I want to do that, I want to do it here. It's the responsibility to be a franchisee, and I enjoy it with honor. So it's not the prettiest thing right now, but we have to do it, I'll do it.”
The 28-year-old defender, who was all-out in 2015, spent a full 10-year career in Phoenix.
Last season, Booker became the Suns' scoring lead while continuing to dominate offense. He averaged 25.6 points, 7.1 assists and 4.1 rebounds per game.
