Jefferson talked about the roster construction of the Suns and how both Paul and Ayton’s futures being up in the air should scare teams around the league because it will allow Phoenix to add quality depth around two high-level scorers in Devin Booker and Kevin Durant.
What that ultimately looks like is going to have to be through trades this offseason since the Suns don’t have a lot of cap space to work with as Paul, Booker, Durant, and Ayton are making over 50% of the team’s salary cap.
According to Jefferson, all signs are pointing to Ayton leaving which wouldn’t come as a shock given the cap situation with the team as well as Ayton’s up-and-down play throughout the season and in the playoffs.
There are a lot of rumors and dialogue taking place around the Suns and in a short time, we will understand what the Suns are really going to do.
