Paul was certainly the first contributor to the Suns' Western Conference title last season, but the team's center Andre Ayton also played a very important role. I thought Ayton, who played last season, would sign a leading contract with the Suns. But the Suns have always been reluctant to give Ayton a maximum salary, and even tried every means to pressure him to accept the secondary maximum salary.
The last game against the Kings was a testament to that. above. The Suns successfully reached the Finals this season, Ayton has been very good at the playoffs, the aerial relay to kill the Clippers is one of the representative series of events, Paul is publicly saying that the Suns should renew Aden's contract at the top salary.
At a time when everyone thought that the issue of Ayton's contract extension with the Suns was nailed down, in the new season, the Suns expressed their reluctance to give Ayton a maximum salary. Suns management believes Ayton is not a top-salary player, but they will not trade Ayton either.
The Suns want Ayton to accept a non-top salary contract, so they are also everywhere, and they are constantly fierce. Ayton played thirty-three minutes in the Suns' loss to the Kings, shooting nine of twelve and taking twenty-one points and twenty-one rebounds for twelve-hour stats.
In the first half, Ayton can be described as O'Neal's possession, turning the river upside down on the inside line, and the situation in the second half took a sharp turn, Ayton only got one shot, and the Suns can be described as deliberate. Ayton shot seven-eight times in the first half this season, compared to a pitiful little eight in the second half. The contrast is very obvious, this is to refrigerate Ayton tactically, so that Ayton can not play good data, after becoming a free agent next season, the value plummeted, the Suns directly picked up leaks or Ayton compromised, can accept the Suns' non-maximum salary contract.
The NBA is a business ground, not every boss is called Cuban, and I hope that Ayton can play a brilliant stat this season.
