Deandre Ayton is set to become a restricted free agent this offseason, which means the Phoenix Suns will have an opportunity to match any contract offer he receives. It does not sound like they are prepared to fight very hard to keep the former first-overall pick.
Ayton’s agent, Bill Duffy, told SiriusXM NBA Radio on Monday that the reports about Ayton wanting a max contract extension last offseason were accurate. Duffy indicated that Ayton’s camp is confident the 23-year-old will receive max offers from other teams this summer, even if the Suns are unwilling to match.
