Asked why Deandre Ayton played only 17 minutes (0 in the fourth), Monty Williams says in the most stern voice I’ve ever heard him use: “It’s internal.”

It is going to get awfully expensive for the Suns
🏀The restricted FA: Deandre Ayton
💰The super max extension: Devin Booker
🏀The rookie extension: Cam Johnson
💰The luxury tax for the first time since 2009-10
and more...https://t.co/QZI7bFuGB6

"His contract situation is between him and the front office. I care about him as a brother. Just making sure his mental is right...whatever happens, happens. Kind of hard to look so far in the future." - Devin Booker on Deandre Ayton's contract situation

“The Dallas Mavericks: All Our Dysfunction is Strictly Off the Court”Doncic is such a blessing that I start to think maybe it is for the love of basketball god he wanted him in good hands instead of Kings
The Phoenix Suns are not taking the Gordon Hayward contract in return for Ayton.

it’s the Ben Simmons situation all over again
Not sure anyone truly knows but the Suns decided not to negotiate a contract extension with Ayton last year when Trae, Luka, JJJ and many others from that lovely 2018 class that was chalk full of stars were signing lucrative extensions and instead gave CP3 a mega deal. But still dude put in the work for them all season and is now apparently the guy left without a chair when the music stops.What's this all about anyway?
Yeah looks like it.
it especially sucks since the mavs just aren’t that good. Or maybe they are? What am I missing?
Luka is a super star. The rest of the team is just meh. The kid is THAT GOOD.
OUCH……….
it’s the Ben Simmons situation all over again
he's not under contract which makes this worse in many ways.not until he decides to sit out one whole season
I almost punched a hole through my steering wheel as I was listening to the draft in the car en route to pick up my son.
who else trusted “The Prophecy” and felt destroyed when vlade went against it

If they won't pay him someone else will and he'll either leave for nothing or they'll be stuck matching an angry Ayton. They were foolish not to agree to terms while paying others.he wanted to get paid like a number one pick and the Suns had other priorities so I can see his anger but these bridges have now been crossed and burned with the organization

Have to think that they could have negotiated a little harder with CP3 to make sure they had money for Ayton. Especially if they signed both at the same time showing a commitment to winning/keeping it together.with them giving CP3 that huge extension did they really have enough to give him what he wanted?
Obligatory "Thanks Vlade!"
