Devin Booker wasn’t a member of the Suns in 2015 when the team traded Goran Dragic, Isaiah Thomas and basically half the roster right at the deadline. Dragic had already boarded the team bus before being called off and informed he was traded to the Heat.

If Booker had been there, he would have known better about celebrating before the deadline. Trades can’t happen after 3 p.m. ET, but news trickles out later. Booker learned that the hard way with P.J. Tucker.

According to Cronkite Sports’ Gavin Schall, Booker was already celebrating Tucker remaining in Phoenix seconds before Tucker learned he was traded to Toronto.

Tucker had been with the Suns since 2012 after the team gave him an NBA opportunity following five seasons overseas. He was understandably upset to leave Phoenix.

The Suns added Jared Sullinger and two second-round picks for Tucker.
