Why The Phoenix Suns Do The Deal
Absolutely. After all, Ayton has looked listless in Phoenix in recent years.
It’s time for a change here. Meanwhile, Chris Paul is rapidly aging. The Suns would do well to replace him as well.
Brogdon would be a reasonable replacement. No, he’s not quite the floor general that Paul is. Still, at this stage in each man’s career, Brogdon is generally much more impactful.

Besides, the very presence of Brogdon may allow the Suns to conserve Paul for the postseason.
If they can find a budget replacement for Ayton in free agency, this could make them a better team.
