Today's The Athletic poses this very question today.
A small snippet -
"The Suns prefer to build around Booker. As they should. He’s 28 and in his prime. Plus, he’s everything an organization should want in a star. He remained loyal through difficult times. He helped the Suns reach the finals. He’s tremendous in the community. He’s the organization’s career scoring leader.
Still, this shouldn’t be a sentimental decision. It should come with questions. Does keeping Booker, who after this season has three years left on a $220 million supermax deal, give the Suns the best chance to rebound? Would trading him accelerate the process? Nothing should be ruled out."

I hope that the 17-4 vote helps the "4" see that they are in the strong minority on this issue.

Just do what Dallas did with their franchise player, look at how the fans reacted to that, it's more than just basketball unfortunately when it comes to trading Booker.

As I have mentioned here before - you cannot fall in love with your players. Because someday there may come an opportunity to move them to make your team better in the long run.

Honestly, it’s a poorly constructed poll.
Somebody wants to buy my house. Should I sell it to them?
How much are they offering?
Yes or no, man.

An option that’s far less expensive and offers variety is
prosthetics.

Keep Book and KD. Keep Ryan. Keep Gilly.
And Oso too. Everyone else can eat shit.
I guess keep Nick too.
*Taps signs*
Cody can stay too.
Trade Allen for a big or another 1st.
Do black magic blood sacrifice to force a team to trade for Beal.
