There’s not much of a trade market for Deandre Ayton, per
@wojespn
on
@ryenarussillo’s podcast
“I think the hard part for Phoenix right now is Deandre Ayton’s market is lean. They have to be prepared they’ll have Deandre Ayton back. … They have to prepare for the very likely possibility (Ayton stays). They’ve gone through the marketplace, and I don’t think there’s an obvious deal for Deandre Ayton out there.”
Since the Suns matched the Pacers’ max offer sheet last summer, Ayton also has veto power over any potential deal until July 15.
Could Phx actually trade Paul and Shamet for Beal? Why would the Bullets do that? It would take an opt-in of Paul's contract, I'm assuming.
So, what would the Phx payroll look like at that point?
Seems super sketchy for both teams. If Phx could come up with a couple of draft picks, maybe I could see it from WAS perspective.
