i'm going to triple down on my prediction that this is par for the course:
-- that the Suns intended to wait out an offer for Ayton only to match when they had to
-- that the Suns best option is to let this youngster's little grievances blow over because he knows the Suns, particularly Paul, has mentored him and will continue to do so this season until he has either increased his value to us or to another team in trade
-- the Durant saga complicated things some but we never intended to meet their outrageous demands anyway
Ayton is just a kid threatening to run away unless he gets a pony. he'll settle for a puppy, be happy when we start winning again and grow up a little in the process
if i'm wrong and he is moved to Indiana today, it can only be because the "internal matter" was more significant than any of us imagined. i just don't believe that
