Exactly. OG is an actual factual wing stopper
Suns ain't trying to pay Ayton

Cam Johnson can only defend 2 position, Bridges defends 3-4 and fits perfectly within their offense
You said he was an elite 2way player....calling him elite is overrating him
And I'm not expecting him to have 6 assists a game but theres no reason he shouldn't provide 16/6/3 rather easily
Should have clarified 3&D. But him averaging that with three options ahead of him isn’t happening. He’s got a fair contract. We got Derozan making 5 mil less in the same position and we don’t need him nearly as much as the suns need Bridges
elite? I mean he has potential but I'm not seeing elite at all...But I know the 76ers regret that trade...Made sense for him to be on the 76ers.
Every team is looking for them and it’s just not enough of them to go around. He’s not elite, but he’s close to it in a few years I’d say.
A lot of overlook the fact that he was 11th in voting for All Defensive Team and a few votes away from making the team.
You mean five million more? He got 3/$85 mil which was a terrible contract.
He does everything bro, I don't even think your team is that good without Bridges. He's like De'Andre Hunter for ya'll. I think he's your 3rd or 4th best player. I'll take him over Ayton honestly even if I think Ayton is better, Bridges is more critical, without him, ya'll just above average. Guys like him are critical in the modern NBA. Gotta have two-way versatile wings. Without em, you can't win or you limited.
Cam is decent, nice off the ball offensively, and can shoot. His defense is decent off the ball but on the ball he can be useless. He's limited in terms of defending the perimeter which is why his best position is the 4 but he's not really big enough to play the 4. Cam is a decent player. Nice role player. A great fit in your scheme around the players you got like Book, CP3, Ayton, and Bridges. But let's be clear, he's no legit starter. He's a quality backup type. Whereas, Bridges is a legit starter on ANY NBA team and he's impactful. The difference between when he plays for PHX and when he doesn't damn near makes you a playin team.
Naw, 8.7 WAR is nothing to play with.
Really, just one decently. His off-ball defense and awareness is really good but that's pretty much it.
So where does this leave Ayton? Are the suns low balling since they don’t believe he’s on Young/Luka level and he got so throughly destroyed in the finals?
According to Woj, Ayton is going to play out the season without a new contract. I don't get it, but
