The Phoenix Suns may have started the season on a good note, but their form in the last 10 games hasn’t been good. They have a record of 4-6 in the last 10 games after the team’s most recent defeat against the Washington Wizards.
On top of struggling to find consistency in the last few weeks, the Phoenix Suns seemingly have yet another concern to deal with. It’s the relationship between Deandre Ayton and head coach Monty Williams.
The two haven’t really been on the best of terms since last season when reports surfaced about a spat between Ayton and Williams after losing Game 7 against the Dallas Mavericks. Fast forward to now, the two once again got into it against the Wizards.
During one timeout, Ayton and Williams were spotted arguing and being part of a heated conversation that can certainly be perceived as a fight.
Deandre Ayton’s Beef With Monty Williams Could Lead To Him Leaving The Team
Ayton’s happiness with the Suns has been one of the glaring issues for the organization over the last few seasons. Even this offseason, the Suns were initially reluctant to give him a huge contract extension.
Anyway, coming back to the feud between Ayton and Williams, they later explained that it was nothing personal and, in fact, the entire team was involved in that discussion.
To be honest, looking at the video clip, it certainly doesn’t feel like the entire team was part of this heated exchange. Keeping that in mind, many NBA fans urged the Suns to simply trade Ayton after this spat with Williams.
brainonhiatus: Gotta trade him. He didn’t want Suns to match offer from Indy. He wants out!
israelll04: When they winnin it’s all cool, when they losin ayton starts cryin to the coach every time ♂️.

vonalbertastorga: Ayton acting like he’s Embiid. he should ALWAYS dominating people in the paint.
brad2201: The frustration is coming out for Ayton. He didn’t even want to play w suns. They matched his offer Indiana gave him. Don’t blame him. Never understood matching. Guy signs somewhere else. I’m sure part of him if not all of him really wanted out of Phoenix.
It was definitely a heated argument, but some fans took Deandre Ayton’s side as well. They believe that Williams should draw more plays for Ayton and let him dominate teams in the paint.
