As the first No. 1 pick in the history of the Suns, Ayton has indeed become the team's well-deserved inside core in the past few seasons. However, the sluggish performance in the last few games of last year's finals and Bucks also made the management The top management gave up the idea of ​​renewing his contract in advance. In the past season, the Suns, who were aiming to hit the finals again, were eliminated by the Mavericks in the semifinals. Ayton was in the series with the Mavericks. His mediocre performance also failed to impress the management's desire to renew his contract.

The Suns provided Ayton with a 16400,000 qualifying offer. Although it set a historical record, it was still an "insult" to Ayton.

Since Ayton's 4-year rookie contract with the Suns has officially expired this summer, he has not been able to renew it in advance. His Suns also provided a qualifying offer of 16.4 million to the No. 1 pick earlier. Although this qualifying offer did create a historical record for the No. 1 pick, it is still the first in the history of the team as a No. 1 pick. The first No. 1 draft pick selected by his family is actually in the predicament of having his qualifications quoted. I don’t know what Ayton is feeling now.

The qualifying offer made by the Suns to him this time, in layman's terms, means that if no team signs Ayton in the free market, after the free market ends in 10 days, Ayton must accept the team's offer of 16.4 million. contract. If a team offers Ayton a contract during this period, the Suns can choose to match it. However, they can now offer Ayton a qualifying contract. It can be seen that if a team really offers a lucrative contract. , the Suns are unlikely to keep Ayton.

The Suns are a stable double-double machine. After a few sluggish games, it is too arbitrary to deny Ayton's performance throughout the season.

As a No. 1 draft pick, what Ayton finally gained was a qualification offered by his home team for less than 20 million. quotation, this contract is even less than the four-year 90 million the Suns gave Bridges last summer. Bridges' annual salary next season will be 20.09 million. As the third leader of the Suns, Ai It was indeed a bit chilling to not even get 20 million. Since joining the Suns in the 18-19 season, Ayton has been able to produce double-doubles every season. Although there were some unsatisfactory performances in the two playoffs , overall, Ayton still performed very well. Yes, in the playoffs this past season, Ayton played 5 games for the Suns, averaging 5 points, 58.9 rebounds, and his shooting percentage reached 564%. With 50% 's three-point shooting percentage, it would indeed be a bit arbitrary if really wants to use the downturn in a few games to deny his performance throughout the season.

Potential next club The Pistons are unlikely to provide Ayton with a maximum salary. Ayton cried and fainted in the toilet

Although there was news before that the Pistons would sign Ayton, according to relevant media, even if the Pistons have space in the offseason Provide a maximum salary contract, but it is unlikely to give restricted free agents such as Ayton and Miles Bridges. If your popular next team is unwilling to open a contract that you have in mind With a maximum salary, it is indeed unrealistic to expect other teams to spend some money on themselves. After the Suns offer themselves this qualifying offer, there should be many teams interested in Ayton who will offer a contract that is higher than this offer but not the maximum salary. And how Ayton will make a decision at that time will also It is indeed worthy of everyone’s expectations.
