Yeah, if they can do that sign me up.

The picks are the only relevant thing here.
Have no fear of Fournier and Randle. Each of those could be flipped as needed; doubt they impact the tank command here.
Then that sounds like an opportunity. This is just the first time I’m hearing these kinds of offers for Ayton.
Randle is the worst contract in the league. Well, all of the crazy extensions and the unforeseen notwithstanding.
Ayton was able to punish the Clippers' lineups in ways Rudy couldn't. He also gave the Suns and advantage over the Warriors there for a while. He's not an All Star, but he's a functional starting center.
I think the Jazz have trade packages from NY and Miami sitting on the table right now, and it will give them leverage in this KD situation. Miami especially may up their offer if doing so keeps KD away from PHX.
PHX wants to move him. They may need to move him to get Kevin Durant. He can only bring back 50% of his new salary on a new deal due to the BYC rule. Jazz can get him at below market value if they want him. It might cost Bogdanovic and a protected 1st.
I would guess the Jazz are angling for the likes of Obi Toppin and/or Immanuel Quickley to be included.

I think we gotta see if teams like the Magic would trade for him. I don’t love Banchero but Banchero and two 1sts might be possible and might be a good move for them. Or some other lesser player and three firsts.
I’d much rather do a trade with a team like them and get 2-3 1sts than the Knicks and get four and have to take on those crappy contracts and worry about the Knicks winning 45-50 games.
The Magic and Thunder are the two teams who might do it based on trajectory who could still be super ****** even with Don.
If the Jazz were able to get Ayton for Bogie and a low first. Able to extend Ayton at the lower price and then trade DM for 4 unprotect first and a young player. I would be all in. Jazz would be a youthful, athletic long team. I would love to get RJ but maybe Reddish and Quickley plus the picks.
The absolute dream trade *Probably a bit too many picks lmao*
Let’s nab Ayton and go from there.

Wet dream trade. Even at 4-5 firsts that’s the move right there.
I like the trade but too many picks. I don' think NY would be that dumb. I would love Detroit's and Washington's 2023 unprotected. and NY 2025 unprotected. NY 2029 top 5 protected. I would jump for joy if that happened.
Yeah, I would say 5 picks overall plus Toppin/Redish w/ whatever filler they want to include.
The magic aren't trading Banchero. I love the idea of working with the magic though. I'm a big Suggs fan so something built around Suggs, Isaac and future 1sts interests me.
