One of the best sports environments in the USA has been produced by the energy in Arizona over the past week. It was revealed that Kevin Durant was being traded to the state to join the Phoenix Suns as they prepared to host the Super Bowl.
The expectations for the group have already been elevated and people are expecting them to win the championship right away. Another beloved Arizona figure is excited to have Kevin Durant on the squad.
Deandre Ayton was a star at the University of Arizona and was selected by Phoenix over Luka Doncic in the 2018 NBA Draft. Despite almost leaving the team in the summer, Ayton now gets to be teammates with one of his idols and is still speechless at the fact that Durant has joined the Suns.
Ayton’s mood around being a member of the franchise seems to have changed from earlier this season when he was having disagreements with Monty Williams on the bench. He needs to embrace his role as the center on the team to ensure the Suns can realize their championship dreams this season.
Will Deandre Ayton Remain On The Suns For The Long Run?
Many people have speculated on Ayton’s happiness with the franchise after they matched an offer sheet when Ayton tried signing with the Indiana Pacers. Acquiring Durant is going to change the tone of the entire locker room, as the entire focus of the franchise will be on winning a title.
If there were questions about Ayton’s long-term fit in Phoenix before, they should be gone now. Unless the Suns can add another huge upgrade to make this roster an undeniable title contender, Ayton is likely going to see this contract out with no incentive to request a trade while playing on a perennial title contender.
