Draymond Green will definitely be hearing from the league soon regarding a likely tampering violation after commenting on Devin Booker during Inside the NBA on Friday.
“It’s great to see Book playing well and Phoenix playing well, but get my man out of Phoenix. It’s not good for him, it’s not good for his career. Sorry Chuck, but they’ve gotta get Book out of Phoenix. I need my man to go somewhere that he can play great basketball all of the time and win, because he’s that kind of player.”
Booker and the Suns have been the talk of the bubble as they remain the only undefeated team with a 5-0 record. The Suns now find themselves just a half game back of Portland for the nine-seed and two games back of Memphis for the eight-seed.
Draymond’s comments were relayed to Booker and he responded to them:
“I feel like that’s important for this organization, for the fans that have stuck by us for this long and still do so,” Booker said in response to Green’s comments, via Clutch Points. “Since I’ve been in Phoenix, we haven’t had the win success that we had, but the support’s been there. And this is what we owe to the fans, we owe to the organization. It’s been a long time for us and I think this bubble opportunity was big for us, and we’re taking advantage of it.”
His loyalty points are great, but we’ve seen these type of comments from NBA stars before and it always seem to have the same outcome over time.
The Suns continue their playoff hunt on Monday in a pivotal contest against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
