We’re on the verge of another Phoenix Suns season, and despite Deandre Ayton’s desire to shift the narrative, we’re still talking about the same old tale. What’s that story? Trading Deandre Ayton.
Last year following his extension there was a countdown until he was trade eligible, the year before when no extension occurred he was on the block. This season, despite Frank Vogel talking the sixth-year center up and stating he is, “off to a great start with him from a relationship standpoint in terms of understanding that if we want him to defend and rebound at an All-Star level, then we’re going to have to involve him a little more in the offense,” Ayton’s name is once again in trade rumors.
