Monty Williams stuck to the ‘internal’ stance on what happened with him and Deandre Ayton in Game 7, but said he hasn’t talked to Ayton 1-on-1 since the game.
Said he’s talked the team, but he also said he made a decision not to put Ayton back in as game got out of hand. #Suns – 2:39 PM

So Ayton played fewer than 20 minutes due to an “internal” matter, according 2 Williams. Let me guess? He was pissed he rarely touched the ball! When he should’ve been the primary focus considering Mavs were committed 2 playing small ball and the other four Suns were dry heavin’ – 11:57 PM

You better believe the Deandre Ayton sweepstakes begin with that game, too. Up to Phoenix, ultimately, if they want to pay him. But he’s a 23-year-old center that averaged 17/10 while playing good defense and largely having playoff success up until this series. He’s getting $$$. – 11:38 PM

If I’m Phoenix I’m not overreacting. I’m paying Ayton, I’m bringing back the core and running it back. The one major change I make is signing someone like Ricky Rubio to limit Chris Paul’s minutes. Someone who can be the main floor general if/when he breaks down – 11:32 PM

The five major cap space teams this offseason are the Magic, Pacers, Pistons, Spurs and Blazers. I’m guessing one of those teams throws the 25% max offer sheet at Ayton if he and Phoenix don’t agree to something first. – 11:10 PM

Fair to question what the future holds for Deandre Ayton in Phoenix now. A title would’ve forced ownership to keep this group together. Withering like this in the 2nd round? DA will still want a max, but good luck convincing the front office he deserves it after this – 9:58 PM
