This Bulls-Suns Trade Swaps Nikola Vucevic, Deandre Ayton

Deandre Ayton, Phoenix Suns, Chicago Bulls, NBA Trade Rumors
NBA Analysis Network

In the NBA, players are generally judged relative to their expectations. Every player in the NBA won’t be a superstar. Players that fulfill their expectations, whatever those may be, are generally respected.

When a player is picked first overall, those expectations are high. In fact, they’re as high as possible. Deandre Ayton was picked first overall in 2018, and it feels like he hasn’t met the Suns’ expectations so far.

In fact, he appears unlikely to be on the team’s roster in 2022-23. The Suns allegedly don’t want to pay him max money. If they’re lucky, they’ll get some value for his services in a sign-and-trade.

After all, letting the first overall pick walk for nothing would be catastrophic. The Suns can’t afford to let it happen.
