Deandre Ayton signed a record contract
Deandre Ayton the Phoenix Suns center signed a record contract with the Indiana Pacers. This contract is worth $133 million over four years. This salary will be guaranteed for him, but still, there is a good chance that he wouldn’t become the Pacers basketball player. The main reason for that was the fact that he was a restricted free agent. Phoenix has two options, to match the offer and keep him that way or let him go
Either way, this is the largest contract of its kind in NBA history. In the past, no one offered this amount of money for the restricted free agent. The previous record was in the hands of the Brooklyn Nets. They paid $107 million for Otto Porter Jr. This amount of money was paid in 2017, and the Washington Wizards tied it.
There was a lot of speculation about Ayton, and his future in the Phoenix has been uncertain for some time now. Many rumors say that the Suns could trade him. However, the most famous NBA insider Adrian Wojnarowski reports that Phoenix has not negotiated with the Pacers regarding a possible trade for Ayton and that they will most likely match the offer and keep him.
The Suns must decide in the next 48 hours, and if they keep the center from the Bahamas, they cannot trade him to any club until January 15. In the same way, he should not be traded in Indiana for the whole year, and it should be noted that Ayton would have the right to veto any trade for one year.
