Who’s gonna get Ayton the ball? Don, or a secondary playmaker like I suggested. Could be Conley if we kept him, however I’d prefer someone bigger and younger if possible. Ayton is a great player, seems like a good personality, we’d be younger, Ayton is more well rounded, has a solid 2 way game, still lots of growth potential. It’s not far fetched in the slightest, I’m not suggesting vucevic here.
I just don’t think it’s smart to trade away an all-nba caliber guard with 3 years left, before his prime, only to go into a rebuild and hope you get another guy that’s as good but with a different personality. Not too mention the difficulty of getting all of a good supporting cast for that player. Statistically, that has got to be a horrible gamble; an emotional move without an objective calculation.
Earlier this year everyone was talking about how Brown and Tatum might need to break it up, what a gigantic mistake that would’ve been, and it’s only been like 2 months since they turned it around and they dominate. Get Don and Rudy and the right prices around them and we’ll kill. I’d much rather take a 2nd-3rd round annual contender than 8 ****** lottery years followed by 5 years of trying before the cycle repeats itself.
