When Ayton's contract with suns officially ended, the Suns were not only unwilling to let Ayton go, but also only provided him with a qualifying offer with an annual salary of more than 10 million US dollars to make him a restricted player.
If a Pacers team hadn't come out halfway and offered Ayton a price of US$133 million for four years, then the Suns might have signed Ayton on a cheap contract of more than US$10 million a year. When the Pacers opened the offer contract, the Suns immediately chose to match Ayton. This operation of the Suns saved him US$4 million.
I have to say that the Suns boss' structure is really too small. No wonder it is difficult for the Suns to win the championship. Even if the Suns finally force Ayton to keep him, Ayton, who wants to leave the Suns, must be very unhappy. The conflict between the Suns management and Ayton has still not been resolved. On the contrary, it will intensify in the future, and the Suns still have no performance. Without any respect for Ayton, Ayton is likely to become a time bomb in the Suns locker room in the future.
