Suns Interior General: I haven't said a word to Monty since losing to the Lone Ranger!
As the new season kicks off, Phoenix Suns also held a regular media day event. The team's starting inside star DeAndre Ayton was interviewed by reporters after finishing training.
Asked about his relationship with the team's head coach, Monty Williams and whether he had communicated with Monty after his crushing defeat to the Dallas Mavericks in the Western Conference semifinals, Ayton said with a sad face: No! I haven't said a word to him since that game. After the training camp started, I didn't talk to Monty about the new season. I think that instead of talking to him more, it is better to show him my own abilities through practical actions.
The reporter then asked Ayton about whether staying in the sun would satisfy him, and Ayton said: Very good! I know that when I play on the pitch, I'm playing for this team and I'm not just working for my honor. The jersey on my chest has the team's name embroidered on it and my last name printed on the back. I'm here to work hard and win honours for the team.
This summer, Ayton, whose contract with the Suns expired and became a restricted free agent, received a top salary contract offer from the Indiana Pacers, which he also chose to accept. However, the Suns did not hesitate to quickly choose to match the offer and keep Ayton in the team.
In fact, in last season's playoffs, the contradiction between Ayton and Monty was already visible to the naked eye. Everyone can see the problem. Maybe in the new season, the conflict between the two may become the trigger for the further deterioration of relations within the team?
