Former No. 1 pick Deandre Ayton officially inked a four-year, $133 million extension to return to the Suns on Monday, calling the new deal a “blessing” that can have a “generational impact” on him and his family.
“This is a blessing,” Ayton told Marc J. Spears of ESPN’s Andscape in a phone interview after signing his contract. “This contract not only has generational impact for my family, but also with the way we are able to work in the Phoenix community and home in the Bahamas. That is the things that we go by...
“I’ve come to understand that this is a business. So, I was more anxious to know the end of the result so I could focus, move on and just get back to work. I just treated everything like a business. Just keep being professional, approach everything with professionalism and not looking too deep into it.”
