The Phoenix Suns have been in the middle of a rough NBA run recently. Not only has their performance on the court been downgraded, but the noise from outside has made things difficult for the players. For example, trade rumors have been a constant for the Suns this season. With multiple stars like Jimmy Butler and Bradley Beal getting involved, the heat has surely trickled down to the others, too. For example, Devin Booker has been facing the heat for a long time now.
With all the noise going on, one can only wonder how it feels to keep a calm head and perform under pressure. Shedding light on the matter, Booker mentioned how he tackles the same, taking one game at a time.
“Nothing surprises you at this point… A lot of things you hear end up never happening. Some things that you never hear end up happening. We just have to lock into what we do. We’re all professionals here that are getting paid. We’re going to keep doing what we got to do and focus on the present and what’s going on right now,” Booker said via Duane Rankin.
"We're improving and that's the name of the game for us."

Undoubtedly, the situation with Jimmy Butler and Bradley Beal is not at all a good advertisement for the team. While Butler has been suspended for public trade remarks, Beal is eager to exercise his ‘no-trade clause.’ And to complicate things, Booker allegedly has a cold war with Kevin Durant.
Devin Booker Allegedly Having A Rift With Kevin Durant
Kevin Durant and Devin Booker are two of the biggest stars of the Phoenix Suns. And the last thing they would want is to fight the duo. Now, while there are no confirmed sources on the same, former NBA athlete, Richard Jefferson teased a similar possibility.
Jefferson opined on the ‘Road Trippin’ podcast, “At what time has KD been teaming up with his boys to work out the way he would like? Because before, he loved Devin Booker. There was a mutual respect. Now, they’re not getting along. Don’t really mess with Bradley Beal. Bradley Beal’s out. Now, they’re gonna bring in Jimmy Butler potentially because that’s what K.D. wants.”
