Deandre Ayton has emerged as one of the best young centers in the NBA, but after an up-and-down postseason, his future with the Phoenix Suns is up in the air. In July, Ayton will be a restricted free agent, so the Suns can match any offer sheet he receives. But if they feel he isn't worth a max deal, Phoenix may ultimately weigh their sign-and-trade options.
If the 23-year-old becomes available, which teams make sense as a possible landing spot? Oddsmakers from SportsBetting.ag have the Detroit Pistons (+150), Indiana Pacers (+300) and San Antonio Spurs (+450) as the front-runners to land Ayton.
Here are the complete odds for Ayton's next team if ends up leaving the Suns:
Detroit Pistons | +150 |
Indiana Pacers | +300 |
San Antonio Spurs | +450 |
Orlando Magic | +500 |
Portland Trail Blazers | +550 |
Houston Rockets | +1000 |
Chicago Bulls | +1100 |
Oklahoma City Thunder | +1200 |
