Ayton is a hidden worry for the Suns this season, after all, as the 2018 premier show, Ayton did not catch up with the 2018 rookie renewal wave. Although from the beginning of the new season to the present, Ayton has not mentioned the renewal of the contract, but the league teams are naturally salivating at Ayton. According to Eric Pincus, a reporter for Open-Air Grandstand Sports, the Pistons want a young center who could be Ayton.
According to US media estimates, the Pistons want to bring in a young center, and Ayton is their primary target. However, most people in the league believe that the Suns will still keep Ayton, although Ayton and the Suns have had a bad time in the 2021 offseason extension.
Ayton was the 2018 winner, but Ayton was lost when the 2018 rookies such as Doncic and Trae Young were all happy to win a new contract. However, since entering the league for four seasons, Ayton has played two double-doubles every season. And last season,the Suns reached the Finals, and Ayton's performance in the playoffs is also worthy of praise. He played in 22 playoff games and averaged 15.8 points, 11.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, shooting 65.8 percent from the field.
There is no doubt that Ayton is the hero of the Suns' reaching the finals. However, his request to renew his contract was rejected by Suns boss Robert Savour on the grounds that Savour did not believe that Ayton was worth the high salary he demanded. This made Ayton quite unhappy, but then Ayton said that he would talk about the performance of the new season.
Ayton set his mind straight, but after the contract extension was not achieved, Ayton also became a target for multiple teams, including the Pistons. Now that the Pistons have a young backcourt combination like Cade Cunningham, Diallo and Sadiq Bay, Jeramie Grant may be sent away, and it is the inside line that is weak. If Ayton joins, the Pistons' roster will undoubtedly be more balanced.
However, the Suns are currently in the ascendant period, and it is definitely not easy to break up the lineup, after all, Ayton is also difficult to find with a lantern; Ayton is not willing to leave the Suns with championship strength and easily commit to the Pistons in the rebuilding period. However, if the pistons go all out in pursuit, they will definitely make the sun feel a lot of pressure. (Supine Braces/Hairy)
