“I mean, we [Monty Williams and Ayton] talk, man,” Deandre Ayton said. “At the end of the day, it’s like we’re trying to contribute to a win. Everything is back to normal. Nothing has changed to be honest. Yeah, I may have come to media day (Sept. 26) just bland, but I wasn’t trying to give nobody no damn story or nothing, but it flipped on me. So, I can’t really say nothing. Just let everybody run away with it. All I know is we’ve been in here working. We’ve been battling each other, beating up each other in training camp. Coach has been loving it.”

Torrey Craig says he’s the strongest player on the #Suns team.
Said Deandre Ayton, Bismack Biyombo and Ish Wainright would beg to differ, but Craig said he’s still the strongest in the weight room and on the court.
“Ask them. They’ll tell you.”

Deandre Ayton believes Phoenix Suns governor Robert Sarver is to blame for not initially receiving a max contract extension, as both Ramona Shelburne and Marc Spears of ESPN reported: “I was told that it was Robert Sarver who didn’t want to give him that fifth year, who wanted to save the money,” Spears said on NBA Today (2:35 in video). “My understanding from talking to people close to Deandre is that he thinks this was Robert Sarver’s decision as well,” Shelburne added (3:50). -via Bleacher Report / September 29, 2022
