Devin Booker signed a five-year, $158 million contract extension with Phoenix Suns last summer, although the franchise has continued to struggle. The Suns finished last season with a 19-63 record, and the addition of the exciting DeAndre Ayton had little impact on the team's fortunes.

Booker also enjoyed the best season of his career, averaging 26.6 points and 6.8 rebounds per game, and following an underwhelming offseason, it is difficult to see how the Suns can put Booker in a position to contend anytime soon.

The Thunder are not contenders themselves, although an array of draft picks puts the team in a position to sign Booker and at least one more star. At 22, Booker will also have the chance to grow alongside an increasingly talented young roster, and the Michigan native could quickly become the face of the franchise.

The price to land Booker will be steep, however, the Michigan native is the future superstar that the Thunder need to avoid falling into irrelevance.
