James Jones: Suns preferred deal shorter than 5 years for Deandre Ayton
On Wednesday, Suns general manager James Jones told Arizona Sports’ Burns &
Gambo that Ayton wanted nothing less than a five-year deal, but that the team
wasn’t interested in offering a contract of that length.
星期三，太陽隊總經理James Jones告訴Arizona Sports，Ayton想要的是一份為期五年
的合約，但球隊對提供一份這麼長的合約不感興趣。
“For a multitude of reasons but ultimately when we looked at it from a
team-building or roster construction standpoint, it just wasn’t our
preference,” Jones said. “And we decided that that wasn’t something we
wanted to do. That’s really what it came down to.”
“We had great discussions initially, he added. “We discussed a multitude of
things but ultimately, a four-year deal, a three-year deal just wasn’t
something that was an option. And it was five years and that’s it. So that’
s pretty much where it ended.
出於多種原因，但最終當我們從建隊或著說從組建陣容的層面考慮，那不符合我們的
偏好。
我們一開始進行了很好的談判，我們討論了許多事項，但最終四年、三年合約不是他
的選項。只有五年合約才行，所以情況就是那樣了。所以談判差不多就在這裡結束了。
“Like I said it’s unfortunate because it’s not reflective of our
commitment, our desire to Deandre. It’s just at that point in time, we couldn
’t come to an agreement.”
“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
happened. No other conversations were considered.
對我們而言，基於多種原因，開出五年頂薪合約是我們不會去做的事情。
