Suns Center Deandre Ayton Trends on Twitter

In this story:
Phoenix Suns center Deandre Ayton continues to see his name brought up all over the internet, and Twitter.com is no exception.
Facing a crucial offseason, the Suns must decide if they'll ultimately bring back their former No. 1 pick as a restricted free agent this offseason, or if a sign-and-trade is the only solution for both sides.
With free agency beginning in July, the Suns will have to make a decision on Ayton sooner rather than later.
Phoenix fans have been split on whether to keep Ayton in town for the next few years, which would require a max contract. That was evident on Twitter:

Deandre Ayton walks through the doors and says, “I heard you were putting together a team”
I would rather replace Chris Paul with a league-average point guard than replace Deandre Ayton with a league-average center.

Chris Paul should be more available than Deandre Ayton. Change my mind.

Context: (I have a tremendous amount of respect for CP3 and appreciate what he’s done for the franchise. Would 10/10 make that trade again) pic.twitter.com/zDGCkxfV10
I have always been pro Deandre Ayton. But after that interview where it came through that he played video games all night with only 2 hours of sleep while being a professional basketball player kind of changed my mind on him. It doesn't sound like a guy that wants to win.
