Deandre Ayton will reportedly stay with the Phoenix Suns after the trade market was quiet coming out of the NBA Draft.
Brendon Kleen of @justbasketballfans breaks down why there weren’t any great deals on the table for Ayton, how his game could develop with Frank Vogel in and Monty Williams and Chris Paul out, and what it all could mean for the Suns’ strategy during NBA free agency.

No bench suns will get beat in playoffs again and ayton is the problem for the suns they aint winning no championship
I love the upside as a drop coverage center
His value will go up under Vogel
Wonder what's going to happen with this week of the Suns being able to take on more salary but for only this week post draft
Hard to fix the internal mental related issue for Ayton … hope they can trade him mid season – Ayton needs a more chill environment with low pressure not a championship team
The thought of Ayton remaining on the Suns makes me wanna puke 🤮!!!!!!!!!!!!
THE LESS OFFENSIVE MINDED PLAYERS AROUND THE BIG 3 THE BETTER
KEEPING AYTON IS RIDICULOUS TO THE FIT WITH THOSE 3 GUYS, BUT IT SEEMED THRY DIDNT HAVE A CHOICE. HOPEFULLY DA DIGS DEEP AND SACRIFICES HIS FINESSE AND OFFENSIVE MINDED GAME AND GET DIRTYYYYYY🙏
18&10 last year behind book and kd. Vogal will improve his def. People that want to trade him right now need to pay attention to a different sport, like tennis. There’s a net, you’ll be fine.
I'm surprised you didn't mention Jordan Goodwin or Isaiah Todd as the other options. Are they not coming to us after all? Wouldn't either of those be better options than the usual?
Nuh uh, they’re trading him for Myles Turner and Buddy Hield any day now 😂
I think they would easily get something done if they could sign and trade him but they can’t
that was a pretty crazy quick break ….
Ill never understand how the Suns took Ayton over Luka or Jaren in draft 😢😢
Go get dennis the menace n yuta n gabriel from lakers also bring back craig okogie landale that should be enough for a chip
Deandre can get better . if all these guys are healthy they will learn to play with each other,
JORDAN GOODWIN IS GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hope the Suns know what they’re doing because if he quits again or requests a trade his value is gonna hit rock bottom
Brendon is such a breath of fresh air. Just gets straight to business and doesn’t waste a minute talking about nonsense. Doesn’t sugar coat things and always bringing the insightful and logical takes. His 2018 draft board doesn’t surprise me at all. The longer I’ve listened to Brendon, the more I’ve grown to respect his takes and perspectives.
the guy that came with Durant can play as well
Get rid of Ayton, get VanFleet and Brook Lopez or Mason Plumlee. 😂
DA is leaving DA is leaving no, he's staying…..ugg.
The only thing that will fix DA, unfortunately is DA. I don't like the odds.
The dream scenario would be to get Jae Crowder and Josh Hart on vet minimums. And even a guard like D rose or Caris Levert. Some big “wow can’t believe he signed for the vet minimum”
