3 tiers? Lol

3 tiers? Lol

All star
All nba
MVP candidate

that’s three tiers.

I can’t find or remember where it was but Ayton once said that when he came in the league he was just in awe that he was playing against some of these guys. Star struck.

He’s finally realizing he’s the force in the nba and can’t be stopped.

 

[JCSunsfan]

No it is not. Not even close. Doncic is an all-NBA player and a legitimate MVP candidate. Ayton is not even in the tier bellow that or the one bellow that. Maybe in the next one down.

I love Ayton as much as the next guy, and I am as much of a homer as the next guy, but Ayton to Doncic comparison is just not a serious one. Doncic is at least three tiers above Ayton.

Luka is starting to get past the hype and people are seeing his flaws. He is otherworldly on offense no doubt.

One of my favorite passages from his self penned "We Dem Boyz" essay. Gives me the tingles bumps. Very well written. He's an intelligent kid.

Ayton has been our playoff MVP no if’s ands or buts.

I mean if gobert gets one, it can’t be denied he deserves one at this point, because he is much better than him.

 

[GatorAZ]

He’s earned his payday. I’m thinking they let Bridges hit RFA and see what his value is. Payne will be interesting.

 

[MaoTosiFanClub]

What this kid has put on his shoulders this playoffs is truly remarkable.

 

[AZ Native]

Imagine Ayton improving the next 3 years like he has the last 3 years. Suns have never had a true big dominant big man. This big goofy kid may be it.

That Gobert contract is kinda looking bad. Not saying Ayton doesn't deserve it. He does.

Letting that happen would be a mistake. Bridges is more important than Payne by a mile.

Ayton talking about reaching a new level in this series....... Dude needs to bottle it up and become a monster.

Yeah he is all of 22 and never touched a basketball before age 12. Suns need to lock this big goofy guy up.

it’s incredible. Flat out incredible.

Agreed. Truly stunning

Not really. We don't need to extend Bridges yet, he's still got another year and then we can match any offer he receives in free agency. If his price is too steep then let him wait. Payne is a free agent this offseason, we need to lock him up for the next few years because he allows us to rest Paul and keep him as effective as possible at 36 years old.

As far as priority this offseason, Payne > Mikal.

Love Payne but no.

 

[Finito]

Luka might have the better career but Ayton might be the guy we needed to do that one thing we’ve never done

and I’m perfectly ok with that

nope not even gonna say it

 

[Hoop Head]

Love Payne but no.

We have all offseason to negotiate an extension with Mikal and the ability to match any deal he's offered next offseason if we can't reach a deal this summer. There's plenty of time to deal with him. Meanwhile Payne is an unrestricted free agent as soon as this seasons over.

I don't think its difficult to see why you place priority on the one we have the least amount of time, and leverage, to lock in.

I'm not saying let Mikal walk, just let him wait for his. I'm not even saying pay Payne more, but you have to pay Payne first.
