“Get my man out of Phoenix,” Green said. “It’s not good for him, it’s not good for his career. I need my man to go somewhere he can play great basketball all the time and win.”
Melvin Booker strongly disagreed with that sentiment and advised his son to be patient.
“I knew Devin loved Phoenix,” Melvin Booker said. “Of course, he didn’t like the situations of losing because he’s such a winner, but that’s another thing about having me here is I told him, ‘Be patient.’ These careers now are 18 years long. So you ain’t even into a climb yet, you will learn a lot in this losing. Now once you taste winning, you don’t want to go back to the way it was.
“And you can see by the way he is playing now, he don’t want to go back there no more. He feels it, he tastes it, he smells it.”
With his dad’s words in mind, Devin Booker never asked for a trade.
