Suns commentator Eddie Johnson spoke with PHNX_Suns about Ayton, who is a restricted free agent. “He can’t escape the Suns if they don’t want him to,” Johnson said. “That has to be laid out there. I think some people out there are saying, ‘Oh, he’s going to leave and they’re going to lose him.’ No, they don’t have to lose him. He signs an offer sheet from somebody else, they can match the offer sheet.” The Suns can not only match any offer, but pay him more than anyone else with a max deal of five years, $177 million. “For Ayton right now, it’s really up to him and what he’s willing to accept,” Johnson added.
