NOTE: There is also a 2032 first going to Phoenix.

Phoenix gets a great haul for Booker. Four firsts and Ivey, who was solid this season before going down with an injury. Harris and Fontecchio expire in 2026.

Booker is from Detroit (correction: Michigan, shoutout to Stro for the correction). I'm sure he'd love to play there. Phoenix is cooked and it is best to blow it up. Assuming Cade is still a Piston by 2032, those picks won't have much value. Cade and Booker could win a ring together if the Pistons are able to put together the right pieces around them.

Btw, credit to nafwarrior10 who made a very similar trade. I just thought it could be fixed a little bit and I think this package makes a little more sense.
