Pacers sign him to a max sheet. Now Suns hands are tied. Let him him go for nothing or sign him to max and not be able to use him in a Durant deal. 2 days tick tock Phoenix. Should be interesting to see what happens here.

Ya, this is bad news for Phoenix. I think it basically gives them 2 days to get Durant or else they have nothing to offer. Ayton was one of the main factors in the run to the Finals for them and they might end up losing him for nothing. This is going to set them back quite a bit. They are terrible at managing their picks. Just a reminder that they could have had DeAaron Fox & Luka Doncic and instead those two picks wound them up with nothing (or maybe Durant, we’ll see.)

Yeah, it puts Phoenix Suns in tough spot, but I really can't blame De Andre Ayton, he was becoming no so significant to the team as he once was and during the playoffs it was pretty evident that sometimes for things to workout well for the Suns he needed to be on the bench, no player would of Ayton's caliber would like that. I however don't see Durant as step up for them either, I mean no disrespect to his abilities or work ethics but we all also know he influential he can be within that squad and that could have quite an effect on the chemistry they've built over the past 2-3 years.

Have to disagree. Durant with cp3 finding him in his spots. Could be the best year Durant ever had on a team. Durant can create his own but with a maestro giving him extra looks in the right spot, I need to see them paired. Durant is a huge step up. Imagine the room book will get with Durant out there too. Could be video gamish.

Durant is definitely a step up and they would immediatley become the favorites if they got him for Ayton and some picks or role players. I think going forward though this would hurt their chances as keeping a young core together and they'd see an exodus of talent for better pay in the years to come. With Durant you're going all in on winning a championship now while CP3 can still play at a high level. You know if they don't win immediately Durant will be looking for his next stop.
