The long-term future of Deandre Ayton with the Phoenix Suns "remains curious," reports Jake Fischer of Yahoo.

The Suns explored a sign-and-trade involving Ayton going to the Brooklyn Nets last offseason for Kevin Durant.

Ayton eventually signed a four-year, $133 million offer sheet with the Indiana Pacers that the Suns matched. Sources tell Fischer that there is league wide skepticism that the Suns truly value Ayton at that number. 

Now that the Suns have traded for Durant, they could also revisit acquiring Kyrie Irving in the offseason.
