: “Like I said it’s unfortunate because it’s not reflective of our

: “For us and for a multitude of reasons that the five-year max wasn’t
: something that we were gonna do. We just couldn’t get beyond that and so
: everything else really didn’t matter,” Jones said. “Nothing else really

: 对我们而言，基于多种原因，开出五年顶薪合约是我们不会去做的事情。

不签五年就跟王桑之前那篇提到的一样，太阳是愿意签顶薪，只是希望长度是4年，而不是A
yton团队坚持的5年，太阳不开出五年顶薪，太阳GM解释：为了让球队保持竞争力，能够交
易换得别队五年指定球员的机会
Jones highlighted as part of the Suns’ thinking: If they had given Ayton the de
signated rookie max extension like they didDevin Bookerin the summer of 2018,
that move would have limited their ability to pursue stars on other teams who ha
ve already been given designated rookie max deals. Per the rules of the league’
s collective bargaining agreement, teams can’t have more than two players on de
signated rookie max extensions.
根据NBA规定，每队最多只能有两个指定提前续约五年的球员，太阳已经有Devin Booker，
若再给Ayton五年顶薪，就没办法在不动这两人的情况下，另外交易其他身背五年顶薪的球
员。
