It has been a terrible season thus far for the Phoenix Suns and they are expected to make some major changes in the offseason.
Phoenix entered the season with lofty expectations as they were expected to be one of the top teams in the Western Conference thanks to their superstar trio of Kevin Durant, Devin Booker and Bradley Beal.
Instead, the Suns find themselves sitting 11th in the West standings and fighting for their playoff lives as they sit a game and a half back of the Sacramento Kings for the final Play-In spot.
Because of their struggles this season, Phoenix is expected to make some changes to their roster in the offseason which could see them trade away one or multiple of their star players.
Of course, Durant has been the main subject of those trade rumors and Beal has also entered the rumors after the Suns tried to trade him ahead of the trade deadline.
Despite this, Booker has also entered trade rumors recently and he recently gave his decision for his future with the Suns.
"It's not always greener on the other side," Booker said. "People always want to leave their situation and end up in a worse situation and then they go missing. You'll never have the love like you have by the team that drafted you."
Devin Booker vows to play his entire career with the Suns, per @loganmmurdock (https://t.co/MkGd8ecmZa):

With this statement, it is clear that Booker wants to remain with the Suns in the future despite their struggles, which is something that he has said he has wanted to do since they drafted him 13th overall in 2015.
With Booker committing to his future with the franchise, it still remains to be seen whether the Suns will trade away Durant and Beal to build around Booker or if they keep one of their other stars around to keep at least a star duo in Phoenix.
No matter which route they go, at least they know that Booker is committed to the team and that they need to build around him for their future.
