Seems like a pricetag a little to high for a guy like Ayton …you pay your offensive hub that kind of money …can he even be that?
I think fans are too deep in the weeds counting coins. The pacers aren’t even gonna feel that money. It’s not like the 90s w/ 7 year deal. It’s only 4 years. Haliburton on a rookie deal, mathurin on a rookie deal, Duarte rookie deal.

Highest paid player on the team is Buddy at 22m for 3 more years. They can easily flip that. Assuming they trade Turner also (1 year left), the highest paid player on the team next year may be Daniel Theis at 8mil/year

So if it’s ‘too much’, in lieu of what?! 1 Deandre ayton is equal $ wise to what, PJ Tucker and KCP? Money well spent by Indy

Imagine not signing your number 1 pick :mjlol:


Just dumb... Suns acting like it's 2005 still.. the price is the price god damn..

If bum simmons got a max.. why doesn't Ayton deserve one?

If Rudy gobert is worth all that money.. why can't Ayton be worth that kinda money?

I get the thinking by Indiana. They're not winning any time soon. They don't usually attract FAs. Ayton is very young and fits their timeline. He's still really productive in the regular season. Why not take a swing?

What are they going to do with Myles Turner now? What can Phoenix even offer besides Mikal Bridges and fillers now to the Nets

yup more teams should do like this for RFAS
overpay worse that happens is you screw another teams cap

Simmons is a better player than Ayton. Gobert is better than Ayton. You put him on that 2021 team and they beat Milwaukee because Giannis wouldn't have his way with him like he did Ayton.

The crazy thing is if the Suns sign the dude and he doesn't want to play there, but they can't get a good trade for him either then it may really be best to let the dude walk. Additionally, I think dude is overrated. Giannis went at the kid for the title and was supposed to be the difference vs the Mavs but didn't show up.

If you keep him on the roster they may remain in the weird spot they're in: a play-off team that ain't beating the best teams.

Sometimes it's best to reset early than keep the shenanigans going longer than they need to.

Ayton has veto over any trade for a full year. He could fukk them over effortlessly
Ehh, I don't think Ayton has any love for Phoenix... he just wants his bag. It's clear that Monty and CP3 don't fukk with him so he might not be all that opposed to leaving once he gets his big payday.

Suns let him walk, please tell me where are you getting a big man that avgs 15-20 and 10 boards a game on the market? they would have to trade bridges or johnson to even get back a starting center

They simply gonna have to take it on the chin. They ain't getting it done with that roster and fall into the trap of mediocrity, which is the worst.

Keeping Ayton is fool's gold for that team. Maybe you sign him and trade him for some picks or something, but you'll most likely get low-balled.
