Because that's what he is holding out to get, and that's why he hasn't extended yet. Short of giving him that offer, I'm not entirely sure what they could've done differently. I mean, they obviously could've controlled the narrative a bit more effectively. But what real-life action should they have taken (besides just drafting Luka instead)?
I think Ayton is such a surefire max contract I'm shocked the Suns aren't giving it to him and are looking elsewhere.
Is my viewpoint probably faulty because I view Ayton as the perfect archetype center next to Luka and am willing to pay for that? Probably. But Ayton is 23, coming off another double-double season where he's been apart of a team that went to the finals AND had 60+ wins.
He's a switchable center that can score from almost everywhere from the FT-line down, and in my opinion was never utilized properly by the Suns.
