Right we're operating under the assumption that PHX (read: Sarver) doesn't want to pay Ayton anywhere close to his max contract. DET could offer him 4/130 easily. Anything less than the max and PHX can also only offer 4 years at that number.
I think Ayton would like to go wherever will pay him the most and feature him. At worst he can always ask for a trade.
Of course, you're right the end all be all is that PHX controls the outcome, but if the rumors are true Ayton is available to be money whipped this offseason.
