🔥 On GET UP, Brian Windhorst delivers key updates affecting three NBA heavyweights:
Devin Booker’s contract extension is imminent, with the Phoenix Suns finalizing a new long-term deal—securing their All-NBA guard ([turn0search8], [turn0search14]).
Nikola Jokic is officially pausing extension talks until summer 2026, keeping his options open for salary adjustments and maintaining leverage ([turn0news20], [turn0search6]).
LeBron James, despite opting into his $52.6 million deal, is no longer the focal point (‘center’) of the Lakers, with the team proactively shifting focus toward building around Luka Dončić ([turn0search7], [turn0news25]).
Windhorst explains the implications: how these moves affect team dynamics, cap strategy, and competitive positioning in the upcoming NBA season.
