After a disappointing 2023 playoff run, the Suns are expected to make quite a few changes to the roster. One of these moves may very well include trading away C Deandre Ayton.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Per Zach Lowe at ESPN, multiple people inside the Suns organization are tired of Ayton.
“The organizational discontent, impatience, eye rolling with Ayton…go way beyond Monty Williams. There’s a lot of people in that organization that are tired of Deandre Ayton.”
Ayton has played all five seasons of his career in Phoenix. After being drafted #1 overall in 2018, he met expectations in his rookie season, being named to the NBA All-Rookie team.
While his stat lines have not necessarily seen a drastic falloff, it is his effort and energy that the Suns have almost had enough of.
Already, there has been plenty of speculation on where the 24-year-old will be next season. The Dallas Mavericks are one of many that have shown some signs of interest.
However, with Ayton’s massive $130 million contract, it will be no easy task for the Suns to find a deal that will benefit both sides.
Stay tuned for further updates.
