Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal
Meanwhile, the Suns’ decision to select Ayton first may have set off a chain reaction.
Somewhere along the line, they seemingly lost confidence in him. The Suns dragged their feet in offering him a rookie extension. Now, it feels like Ayton has quit on the team.
A divorce is probably best for both sides. At the same time, the Suns need depth. With Kevin Durant on the roster, they’ll be looking to make a title push next season.

They’re adding depth with this deal. McDermott is one of the best shooters in the NBA. Collins will crack this rotation.
Perhaps most importantly, Graham could join Chris Paul in a solid platoon at the point guard spot. Throw in a pair of first-rounders, and the Suns can’t afford to turn this down.
