The Suns have reportedly matched the Indiana Pacers offer sheet to DeAndre Ayton. That means Ayton is now officially a Phoenix Suns player. I think this is Phoenix going all in on a potential Durant trade. I know they don’t want Ayton in the roster so it seems clear they just put up 9 figures for a trade piece. That gives them more time to figure out a deal. The saga continues…

As I understand it, there is a no trade clause in his contract. They cannot use him now as a potential trade piece. This means that the Durant trade is dead. Correct me if I am wrong.

All these trade talks for KD or Mitchell have been crazy. Perhaps it's partly the fault of the Gobert trade to the Wolves that Nets or Jazz won't settle for anything less.

One team made one bad trade deal and they think that it will set precedence. I do not think so. Not all teams are willing to put all their eggs on a single basket.
