The Phoenix Suns look set to lose several of their pivots this offseason. Deandre Ayton would be tipped to move via a sign&trade while its first back-up, JaVale McGee, is Free Agent. The latter would like a contract of at least two years, which the Arizona franchise would not necessarily be inclined to offer him. As a result, he is likely to look elsewhere this summer.
Deandre Ayton, a sign-and-trade still planned?
With his experience, his athletic qualities and his profile as a tall rim runner, McGee can interest several teams. They would already be three on file. The Dallas Mavericks, Milwaukee Bucks and Brooklyn Nets. Three formations likely to go far if they strengthen intelligently over the next few days.
Hearing Javale McGee wants a multi-year deal and has several teams interested – Milwaukee, Dallas, Brooklyn. Not sure if Phoenix would go two years. Miami has emerged as the favorite for Jae Crowder.

Champion with the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers, JaVale McGee therefore played for the Suns last season. He compiled more than 9 points and almost 7 rebounds on average despite a very limited playing time (15 minutes per game).
