MAVS NEWS: Luka Is Hurt, But is Trudging On | DLive's Mom Passes Away| Maxi OUT

One more note...just in case this turns out to be real.  Kyrie/Ayton can be added to the Bertans deal.  So, could be Kyrie at $20mm instead of the $25mm (in bold) above to match Ayton one for one.  From there you can add whatever else (McGee, THJ, Reggie, Holmes) and reduce Kyrie's salary proportionately to come up with the right package that adds up to a trade match for Ayton.  

Main point being the way this is real is Kyrie takes a discount.  The key is figuring out what number for Kyrie and what additional players to Phoenix while the Suns do all it wants while staying under Apron-1.

If the Kyrie/Suns thing turns out to be real, I hope Nico is on the phone with Indiana about their big 2022 target Ayton.  I would prefer Turner's defense and spacing to Ayton, though the rebounding concerns are real.  

Drummond would help with that some off the bench, but the Mavs would have to find a solid rebounder to start at the 4 in that instance.

Of course, they would also be down a PG and not sure how to address both PG and PF if Kyrie is gone.
