Re: Deandre Ayton's future with the Suns?
Where are the contract offers for Deandre Ayton?
Clearly he's not viewed as a max-level player by the league, but there's not even been a rumor of a team offering him a new deal at less than the max.
I'm genuinely curious at this point.

Obviously RFA is one factor. If he was an unrestricted free agent there would have been offers by now.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:08 pmWhere are the contract offers for Deandre Ayton?

His agent has done such a bad job.

Bill Duffy is generally excellent at getting mediocre-decent players huge contracts.

Yeah, Billy Duffy isn't some mom-n-pop type of agent. It's really quite strange how this has played out.

Re: Deandre Ayton's future with the Suns?
Nobody wants to max a guy who can't get his own shot. Doesn't seem that difficult to me. He's also been suspended, and has a knack for making layups more difficult than they should be. Other teams see this.
Love, Hurts.

I get all that, but there's a middle ground somewhere.
This is turning into a Dennis Schroder situation.

Crazy to think that they probably had a 4yr max offer last year and didn't take it.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:57 pmI get all that, but there's a middle ground somewhere.

Not probably. Jones said they did, but they wouldn't even listen to him.TOO wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 6:00 pmCrazy to think that they probably had a 4yr max offer last year and didn't take it.Flagrant Fowl wrote: ↑Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:57 pmI get all that, but there's a middle ground somewhere.

RFA typically moves a lot slower than UFA. It’s just the way it works.
Nobody’s asking why Miles Bridges has gotten any max offers yet…oh wait…

Re: Deandre Ayton's future with the Suns?
RFA deals do take more time unless there are multiple teams lining up to offer as much as possible. oh wait..

Re: Deandre Ayton's future with the Suns?
A ton of RFAs have already been signed. I mean they were all from their current team, but a lot were snatched up.

NSFW. But it's an old clip if you remember it.

Re: Deandre Ayton's future with the Suns?
yeah, hence the "oh wait" at the end.
but you know someone will sign him because our world doesn't care about this stuff.
Re: Deandre Ayton's future with the Suns?
Yeah, it was a bad joke. It sounds like some pretty serious stuff, too. It’s hard to believe he’s Mikal’s brother, they seem so different.

Well that explains a lot then.
