  • Suns fan here, and I don’t get this trade at all. The main reason is, Ayton’s stock has taken a huge dip in the last few months. Rather than give up and cash out, we should have held out if there wasn’t a good deal.

    I think this should tell you how bad the situation was with him though. Chemistry is already going to be a pretty big hurdle, that and depth. They must have thought a mediocre return for Ayton was better than having him share the court with Beal and KD at all. That’s very telling imo. The tensions/disruptions that would come from Ayton’s lack of effort could very much ruin everything. You guys are essentially trying to pry open what could be a very short championship window. Hopefully it works!


















  • It’s not at all unusual to pull your top rookie after a couple of summer league games. Orlando did the same thing with their two lottery picks, didn’t play at all the last two games. Brandon Miller also did not play the last two summer league games. If you take the time to look through, you’ll see most top rookies don’t pay all of summer league. Op is making something out of nothing. I get it’s the off season but it’s literally a non-story.
