[Pincus] NBA sources agree Deandre Ayton is going to receive a max extension on par with Luka Doncic and Trae Young this Summer. Bridges will receive "near max" extension. Chris Paul intends to decline player option in hopes of $100M multi-year deal.

A max extension for Ayton would start at approximately $28.9 million with the 2022-23 season (almost $168 million, if over five years). If the Suns were willing to make him supermax-eligible, his deal could climb to about $34.7 million in the first season (around $201 million over five), but only if he qualified by winning league MVP, defensive player of the year or an All-NBA first-, second- or third-team designation through the 2021-22 season (assuming he doesn't win any of those honors for the most recent regular season).

Paul has a $44.4 million player option, which according to several sources, he intends to decline with hopes of inking a new multiyear deal (perhaps in the $100 million range over three seasons). It’s unclear if his recent shoulder injury changes his plans. Gordon Hayward, who has battled more severe injuries than Paul, made a similar decision this past offseason, opting out of his final year with the Boston Celtics to sign a four-year, $120 million contract with the Charlotte Hornets.”

In addition to Ayton and Paul, Bridges won't be cheap, with his next contract likely to be higher than the $20 million a year Jerami Grant got with the Detroit Pistons. He too may seek a maximum deal, which could eventually prove problematic for the Suns if Ayton, Booker, Paul and Bridges are all on lucrative contracts.
