Deandre Ayton's situation is the top priority, but the Suns have other free agents to consider as well. For @PHNX_Suns, I took a look at who they should keep and who they should let go: https://t.co/vZayl8DuMf pic.twitter.com/Oxqd7k8hr0 – 10:03 AM

Sometimes people still forget that DeAndre Ayton — despite looking 48 — is just 23. – 12:22 AM
Aside from the Deandre Ayton situation, adding another ball-handler and shot creator should be the Suns' top priority in the offseason. For @PHNX_Suns I took an early look at some backup PGs who might be MLE candidates: https://t.co/57qzByJWO3 pic.twitter.com/AJBw7DIj6i – 12:07 PM

“There were starting to be some word around the league like, oh, the #Suns are just saying that they think CP3 is just so good that they can bring Bismack Biyombo off the street. Why do they have to pay Deandre Ayton? JaVale has worked out.” @Jake Fischer https://t.co/Xl8knEc5I6 pic.twitter.com/KdCvMbEqsV – 10:52 AM

More on this storyline
Two weeks from the beginning of NBA free agency on June 30 at 6 p.m. ET, all signs point toward All-Star guard James Harden returning to the Philadelphia 76ers on a shorter-term contract extension, league sources told B/R. -via Bleacher Report / June 16, 2022
Sixers ownership, though, has been resistant to the idea of giving Harden a full four-year maximum contract extension beyond his 2022-23 option season, sources told B/R, or the five-year deal that Harden would be eligible for if he chose to decline his $47.4 million player option for next season. Signing perhaps a two-year extension after his option season to create a new three-year framework would also provide Harden with greater optionality for his own career. -via Bleacher Report / June 16, 2022
In any scenario, Harden is expected to pick up his player option for the 2022-23 season, sources said, but the Sixers' further financial commitment to him remains to be seen once the legal negotiating period begins. Since Philadelphia acquired Harden in a trade in mid-February, it would behoove him financially to wait until Aug. 10 before signing an extension, more than six months after the Sixers sent Ben Simmons, Seth Curry, Andre Drummond and two first-round picks to Brooklyn for the 32-year-old former MVP. -via Bleacher Report / June 16, 2022
