I mean, they aren't wrong imo. Ayton isn't a max caliber player, he's close to it.

But they still need to pay him the max anyway because that's just how sports work. Sometimes you have to overpay for talent or you end up with no talent.

They drafted him higher than they should have because he's local, so it's a conundrum of their own making.

But if they don't pay Ayton the max, someone will.

Yeah I don't understand their stance. They either pay him the max now or they match a max offer in RFA in the summer but end up with a disgruntled player.

Unless they are trading him it makes no sense. Nobody wants to pay a C max money but you kinda set yourself up for that when you take a C that high. Any player you take that high you take expecting them to be a max player.

Robert Sarver not wanting to spend money? Never would have guessed.

I didn't renew my Magic season tickets this year (although I'll still go to 20-30 games I'm sure). I'm more excited than ever about the team, I just don't think I'll have the free time for 41 home games.

A very interesting wrinkle to the ayton stuff that I just heard on windhorst's pod, it's quite possible that the reason the suns didn't want to offer ayton a 5 year deal specifically (It wasn't about the money, but the years. They wanted 4, ayton wanted 5) is because that would've made him a designated player, which would be their 2nd of 2. Which would mean they might have designs to acquire a designated player from elsewhere and wanted to have them, ayton, and booker all at once.

I just don't buy Ayton turning down a 4 year max because he can't get a 5 year max on the RFA market. So what does him turning down a 4 year max actually accomplish unless he intends on forcing his way out?

I mean at that point, its' not like you have anything to lose. Everyone thinks he can get the default max on the market if the suns don't give him 5 years, so would you rather take 4 years with phoenix when you think you're worth 5, or 4 years with another place that wants you more than phoenix does? I'd take the latter.

He doesn't get the choice of elsewhere though. He's an RFA and Phoenix will just match another team offering a max.

The only thing he has done is screw himself if he gets injured this season (or has a bad year in general)

If he doesn't get injured though, or have a bad season, he can just take the QO and be unrestricted next year, which maybe to him is worth it to get out of phoenix if they don't want to offer him the 5 years

Nobody ever takes the qualifying offer. Especially not when there's a 120m offer on the table.

The only way it makes sense is if he forces his way out via trade

I guess. Just saying though, no one ever holds out with more than 1 year on their contract until ben simmons tried it.

What if a team tries to offer a 1-2 year deal just to screw with the suns? Could that happen?

also ayton's max isn't the same as like lillard or westbrook's max. refusing to pay the #1 overall pick a max rookie extension is just hilariously awful. i love it.

Kings have a ton of Centers, yeah. Alex Len, Metu, Holmes, Tristan Tompson, Neemias Queta,, Damian Jones, Mo Harkless I think would be 7

Bagley was okay in pre season work, but then he kept resting for soreness which... is concerning. So he fell out of rotation already.

The injury is probably worse than the pistons have been letting on but but they wanted so badly to sell tickets for the home opener after all the money they lost last season that they didn't want to say anything until 24 hours before the game

The pistons game last night overall they hung with a team who is likely going to be a playoff team even without Cunningham but they just couldn't find the offense in the 4th quarter to finish it off and Zach LaVine ended up having his way in the end

Killian Hayes was abysmal he had 0 points

If we had any production from him we probably win that game

Not a great start for my Suns. Booker is not in shape yet but he'll get there. Ayton was aggressive early which was good to see.

Jalen Smith is still getting DNPs as a top 10 pick in his second year... could have taken Haliburton...
