Suns are moving forward with the plan of keeping Deandre Ayton to play alongside Devin Booker, Kevin Durant and Bradley Beal, league sources tell @NBAonTNT
I feel like this statement translates to "his market value is at an all time low, we need to try and rehabilitate value with a new coach before shipping him away"
just minimums, I don't think they can use any MLE since they're over the 2nd apron. I assume this means they have some vet free agents identified who want to come there. They also won't be able to sign any free agents on the buyout market later in the season.
Sounds like they can't flip him for the high return they want. Suns roster confuses the hell out of me, so it'll definitely be interesting to see what they do to fix their depth problem.
Seems like not the best move, but we’ll see. They still have a huge depth problem, but I suppose rotations are really tight come playoffs anyway. Still think Ayton is a bit soft and doesn’t play like he really cares about the sport more than the check.
