The Phoenix Suns are focusing on building their roster around Devin Booker, despite a slow start to the season with a 4-6 record. After a 45-37 finish last season, the Suns aimed for improved performance but have struggled early. League insider Michael Scotto reported that both the Suns and Booker are committed to a long-term partnership, with the team seeking to enhance its lineup rather than explore trade options for the star shooting guard. Booker remains a key asset, leading the team with an average of 25.1 points per game this season. Team owner Mat Ishbia is likely to support win-now strategies rather than a rebuild ahead of the February trade deadline.
