The 2026 NBA playoffs are in full swing, with the Oklahoma City Thunder<\/a>San Antonio Spurs<\/a>, Minnesota Timberwolves<\/a>, and New York Knicks<\/a> already punching their ticket to the second round.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for the Golden State Warriors<\/a>, they failed to take care of business during the regular season and missed out on the postseason festivities.<\/p>\n

However, the seven-time NBA champions have plenty to look forward to, as they\u2019ve already been linked to several high-profile trade targets in the offseason. Phoenix Suns<\/a> star Devin Booker<\/a> is among the assets that some believe could join the Dubs after Phoenix\u2019s early playoff exit.<\/p>\n

That said, the Dubs didn\u2019t receive encouraging news<\/a> regarding their chances of landing Booker via a blockbuster deal.<\/p>\n

\u201cDevin Booker\u2019s our franchise player,\u201d Suns owner Matt Ishibia said Thursday. \u201cI love Devin Booker,\u201d \u201cDevin Booker loves being here. Our coach loves Devin Booker, our GM loves Devin Booker, Devin Booker is going to be here,\u201d said Ishbia. \u201cHe\u2019s going to lead us to a championship, here in Phoenix.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s what he\u2019s gonna do, and we\u2019re going to build the right team around him. He\u2019s gonna get better, just like I\u2019m gonna get better, just like everyone is gonna get better in our organization. At the same time, Devin Booker is who we want here, and he\u2019s great for the city, great for the community. I\u2019ll ride into a fire with Devin Booker, and I\u2019ll do it proudly.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s only one logical takeaway from Ishbia\u2019s end-of-season press conference: Booker isn\u2019t going anywhere anytime soon. Ishbia\u2019s comments are a bit surprising that the Suns haven\u2019t succeeded in the postseason with Booker as a go-to scoring option since 2021<\/p>\n

From an individual success standpoint, Booker has been tremendous with the Suns lately. The 29-year-old pure scorer has averaged at least 26 points per game in four of his last five campaigns and will continue to be regarded as one of the most talented shot creators\/shot makers in the NBA.<\/p>\n

Still, his contributions haven\u2019t equated to lengthy postseason runs, which explains why it wouldn\u2019t have been shocking to witness him on the trade block this summer. The Warriors could surely use offensive firepower in the Bay, especially if the franchise starts the offseason on a rough note.<\/p>\n

That clearly isn\u2019t a feasible option, though, allowing the Warriors to eliminate him from their list of potential targets.<\/p>\n
