The Suns have limited options if they want to sign-and-trade Deandre Ayton this summer
We don’t know what the Phoenix Suns will do this summer, but the hottest topic is and will continue to be Deandre Ayton’s status with the team.
Ayton’s contract expires on June 30, at which time he will become a restricted free agent (RFA). Ayton can test out the free agent market in search of that max-level contract the Suns were reluctant to offer a year ago.
Folks are stressed about the word ‘max’ but keep reading.
As an RFA, Ayton’s agent, Bill Duffy, can shop him to other teams in the hopes they will make an offer that Ayton wants to accept.
