Suns have been reluctant to give DeAndre Ayton rookie max extension

The posts I see on here

Name some
Shaq couldn’t. Neither could Kareem

How many Centers can create their own shot besides Embiid?

I can’t think of any besides Embiid and maybe Hakeem

You really ignored Jokic, KAT, Vuvceic and Bam?

And that’s just centers in this season

Forgot about them.. Jokic? ok maybe… KAT? … I guess but these dudes can shoot 3s but are these guys taking people off the dribble consistently? I don’t think so. Bam maybe but he’s not a true center he’s a PF

They don't have to max him, let him test the market this year and see if you wanna match. DeAndre is a traditional big w/ ok defense and no jumper, his market ain't what y'all think it is. I hope they don't cave and actually let him test the market.

 

[Captain Crunch]

What are the other options?

Sign and trade him in the off-season, the have his bird rights.

Y'all overestimating Dre's market, outside of OKC and Cleveland, nobody will have the money to pay him next year. Also, both OKC and Cleveland are rebuilding, so I doubt both will make a run at signing him.

Maybe that’s why they reluctant to give him max. Know it was a fluke year and don’t want to tie up all that money

I feel like half the time these stories come out they get the money or they get injured but recently teams been giving them the money even when they got injured(Why Klay got hurt the first time did he have to sign a 4 year 100 million dollar deal when we know the insurance pays it to the player without the league paying the player through the team. We learned about the insurance during the Bosh thing.)

I mean who do they get for him that makes them better than now? Plus dragging this out will just kill chemistry as he starts pouting.

fukk that. Sign Gelo

Phoenix overachieving this season and CP3 having the impact that they did more than likely threw Sarver's plans out of wack as now he has no other choice but to dip into the luxury tax to keep this core together.

In hindsight, they should have just taken Haliburton as a CP3 insurance policy just in case. Cameron Payne had a good season, but he's not the long term answer at PG for them and more of a spark plug off the bench.

No one right now, but maybe the assets they get back can be good trade pieces 1-2 years from now.

The Sun's will more than likely not come out the West this year, nor will they do it in the next 2-3 years(healthy Clippers and Nuggets are better).

Why lock yourself in a treadmill, especially when you gotta try to convince Devin to stay 2 years from now(his contract ends in 2024)? Young stars typically leave because they can't win on their current team. Locking up Ayton makes them a treadmill team, cause they'll be capped out.

Just because OKC and Denver overpaid for SGA and MPJ, doesn't mean Phoenix should with Ayton. No way does he deserve a max at this point in his career. I'd let another team fukk up their cap situation by overpaying Ayton.

Well Ayton could still improve and trading for win later pieces does not fit the Chris Paul timeline and booker will definitely leave in that case

The downside to sacrificing stats for wins..

 

[SuaveyBoi115]

He from there and went to school there not unless you can flip him for someone better right now and don’t do the dumb shyt of trading him for Ben then pay him.

Suns ain’t winning anyway

Right last season was their shot and they blew it

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

they could trade him for myles turner and come up honestly.

I'd be down with that
