There is no doubt that in the coming years of Phoenix Suns basketball – as the selection is currently built – will not have much winning. That is why we can apparently suggest that they suggest the franchise better in the position of the Point Guard.
The hope is that new recruits such as Jalen Green and Dillon Brooks can really pop, while the faster 18-year-old center Kaman Maluach gets a grip on the competition, the better this team will be. The Suns are also encouraged to win – that’s why they have given Devin Booker a contract extension – because they do not control most of their upcoming first round picks.
Sun’s first round picks in 2027 and 2029 more valuable than ever.
With the prospects of the Suns franchise at the best case, at the best case, Grant Hughes from Bleacher Report Calculates their first round Picks in 2027 and 2029 – which are currently owned by the Houston Rockets – are currently the second most valuable trade chips in the entire competition. Unfortunately for the valley, Hughes is also not wrong.
That is not a good place for the organization to be inside if they try to find a way out of this mess that they have created for themselves, made even worse by the fact that they also sent Kevin Durant to Houston. So not only have the rockets bought the best realistic option from Phoenix this summer to improve their selection – we come back to Devin Booker – they also control the future of the Suns.

If they have not had a good year in 2025-26 – for example in the first round of the play -offs – those two photos are extremely attractive for all kinds of franchises in commercial conversations. The Suns will not be close to contenders in the coming two years, which only forces the value of these selections higher.
Hughes also says that the Suns should completely reduce their losses here and send booker to the rockets for those two picks back plus some young players, including Sheppard. Although that would once again give them control over their future – what they are not worried at the moment – this is a step too far.
In one summer you cannot send your two best players to a rival that ended in the rankings last season, even if the path back to the relevance becomes clearer. Booker means too much for Phoenix and it would also take away his own legacy, although he did not ask to be traded.
If the rockets won with that couple, the Suns would be the smiling stock of the NBA for years. Not that managing this situation is also the answer – Phoenix must recoup as much as possible from his own draft capital if possible in the coming years – but their pursuit of a championship fell and they now have to live with the results.
