Many fans did not like the news on social media.

@UpnDownBoy: "Damn it no. What are these guys doing. Oh that's right, they have no idea."

@TheOGcolt: "Wasting another year of his prime having him play outside his natural position, where he’s been at his best throughout his career."

@itsmetoshiro: "Wrf. Just let this man be the star 2 guard and call it a day. Why the continued experiment here when it’s failed 2 years in a row"

@andyjbays: "Booker is a great playmaker, but man I want to see him play the 2 full time again. Like I know he can play the position, but I don’t wanna see Point Book again ya know"

@SnoopVonPoop: "I do not like this idea! It takes away from his game and has not worked out well in the past!"

@Hektor1K: "Point book was mediocre lol an everyone said that they didn’t want that for him but just to be that bucket getter"

The Suns made the NBA Finals in 2021.

However, they are coming off a year where they were the 11th seed in the Western Conference with a 36-46 record.
