The Golden State Warriors may need to pivot their offseason plans, as the dream of adding Devin Booker to the roster has hit a major roadblock.

While the 2026 NBA playoffs are heating up—with the Oklahoma City Thunder and San Antonio Spurs already advancing to the second round—the Warriors are watching from home after a disappointing regular season. But hope springs eternal in the Bay Area, and rumors have swirled that the Dubs could target Phoenix Suns superstar Devin Booker in a blockbuster trade this summer.

That hope took a serious hit on Thursday.

Speaking at an end-of-season press conference, Suns owner Matt Ishbia made it crystal clear that Booker is not going anywhere. "Devin Booker's our franchise player," Ishbia said emphatically. "I love Devin Booker. Devin Booker loves being here. Our coach loves Devin Booker, our GM loves Devin Booker, Devin Booker is going to be here. He's going to lead us to a championship, here in Phoenix."

Ishbia didn't stop there, doubling down on his commitment to the 29-year-old guard. "We're going to build the right team around him. He's gonna get better, just like I'm gonna get better, just like everyone is gonna get better in our organization. Devin Booker is who we want here, and he's great for the city, great for the community. I'll ride into a fire with Devin Booker, and I'll do it proudly."

For Warriors fans, this is tough news to swallow. Booker has been an absolute force on the court, averaging at least 26 points per game in four of his last five seasons. He's widely regarded as one of the NBA's elite shot creators and pure scorers—the kind of player who could instantly elevate Golden State's offense alongside Stephen Curry.

However, Ishbia's loyalty comes despite the Suns' lack of postseason success since their 2021 Finals run. The team has struggled to build a consistent winner around Booker, yet the owner remains steadfast in his belief that the star guard is the cornerstone of Phoenix's future.

For now, the Warriors will have to look elsewhere to reload their roster. The trade market is always unpredictable, but one thing is certain: Devin Booker isn't packing his bags for the Bay Area anytime soon.
