No reason to jump the gun on the 15th man...at least wait until the deadline to get rosters down to 15, whenever that is...but maybe even further in case they can make some sort of Torrey Craig type trade.

I'm actually interested to see how DA responds to not getting the extension. The other players on the team are probably on his side as well so they will be looking for him a lot this season, especially Mikal after getting his, they already had a good chemistry. In the end it may turn out to be beneficial for Deandre.

Yeah, this is bad.

Welp. Hoping this is James Jones decision and not Sarver

Robert Sarver really has a way of crapping the bed coming off unexpected, stellar seasons. Joe Johnson all over again. What an absolute, terrible, terrible sports owner. TWO wins away from a championship... Lol

This decision reeks of Sarver tho. And he was seen meeting with Ayton in that hotel. I have a feeling Sarver is the type to act all condescendingly to his players like he thinks he's better than them. Ayton is an All-star caliber player, but Sarver is a scrub owner

I’m excited to see how DA responds to this …

Its Sarver. He thinks a max player should be Doncic or Trae Young - a guy who is scoring 28-30 per night. Or maybe have Duncan like stats: 25/12.

Its just short-sighted and stupid. And when it didn't get done at the times that Doncic and Trae Young got done - I was partly worried. I just never thought Sarver could be this stupid still. I really thought he had a business model for the future based on the moves this offseason

he is a clueless dolt of an owner. Between Spanos and Sarver - I am not sure which owner is worse; more dense, or obtuse with less business acumen for running a sports team.

The biggest worry I have here is, his agent may tell him, "go easy this year...don't get hurt and there are plenty of teams who have told me they will offer you max next year"

I mean, who wouldn't want to not sign a 170/5 year contract -- he would be set up for life

Would be interesting to know what Sarver was willing to pay - what he VALUED an Ayton contract at. Since BobbySarver is all knowing

Teams typically don't allow cornerstone players to get to RFA. Why would Ayton go all out if there are teams out there willing to give him a max? There will be Ayton rumors all season.

Grade the Suns off-season moves so far
