Paul wants it decided before 6/28 - Mavs2021 - 06-08-2023 Lillard makes some sense, but Phoenix would probably have to generate more than Ayton to make it worthwhile for the Blazers. Not sure how they can do that. Probably worse building blocks than Scoot and Ayton though. Given that the Suns have now been linked with Lillard and Harden, if you want to make Phoenix/Dallas trades, use Kyrie. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: CP3 to be waived by PHX? Paul wants it decided before 6/28 - MarkAguirreWrathofGod - 06-08-2023 Ayton stats look nice but he doesn’t protect the rim and makes way too much for what he brings. Crucially, he seems content being a well-paid nice guy, with nice stats. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: CP3 to be waived by PHX?

He still is those things. He is one of the few centers that can switch in a PnR. That alone makes him a cut above most. His rim protection is lacking, but its not like he's Shawn Bradley out there. He is overpaid, but from the position where the Mavs are, if they want players of Ayton's caliber or better, they have to accept they come with warts. Kyrie is crazy. Ayton is overpaid. Both of them are still amazing basketball players. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: CP3 to be waived by PHX?

I have 17 centers rated higher than Ayton in my rating system. This system does not factor in age or contract. Simply production advanced stats: Scoring, Rebounding, Distribution, Defense, and Availability. I can't see how you can call him an "amazing basketball player". 1. Nikola Jokic 2. Joel Embiid 3.

Paul wants it decided before 6/28 - HAguiar95 - 06-08-2023 I'll go ahead and remove Randle and Markkanen cause they're PFs. Looking at that list, unless they are old (Lopez/Vucevic) or have injury concearns (Porzingis, Williams III), all of them have higher value than Ayton. We're going for Ayton cause he's a distressed asset that probably needs a fresh start. I'll be ok if we have our new center for a drop down in the draft (no further then say #21) or for expirings, which leaves: Nurkic, Capela, Ayton as the ones I could see available for that price. If we want a better piece than that, we probably would have to include #10 and get no pick in return (maybe a second?), which I'd be against. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: CP3 to be waived by PHX?

I can't see how you can call him an "amazing basketball player". I'd probably put Ayton around 15, but I don't have a issue with the rankings. Ayton is an average or above average starting center imo. Not a foundation piece. He definitely has the talent to be in the top 10 if he could learn to play consistently and bring it every game. He is a distressed asset as others have mentioned. Maybe we could save him or maybe he burns us. Who knows. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: CP3 to be waived by PHX? Paul wants it decided before 6/28 - RoyTarpleysGhost - 06-08-2023 Maybe I read too much into the "narratives" compared to our more statistically inclined fans but I want no part of Deandre Ayton. Going back to Arizona, there were question marks about whether he loved basketball and was willing to work to be one of the best. He's been in the league for five years and those questions still haven't been answered. He's being shopped by his current team because they don't believe he is that guy. It's the same reason I wanted no part of Ben Simmons when all the stats people were raving about the impact he can have. The ONLY way I would want him is you were to tell me we're losing Kyrie for nothing and have an opportunity to send him to Phoenix for Ayton. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: CP3 to be waived by PHX?

Is he? I'm not so sure he is. You fail to note the big thing that happened with him within those last 2 years, which can often completely change the trajectory of a player's play. What happened? He got the massive max contract he was shooting for. Now he isn't the same player, seeming to lack the passion to excel. (He got his, so he doesn't need to care, right?)

I do disagree with Lopez/Vucevic, tho. Vucevic started 82 games last year, Lopez 78. This is why my rating factors in availability and why they're rated so high. I'd argue I'd rather either of them than Ayton for the next 3 seasons. Your point is spot on. We need to be developing a young big. RE: Trade & FA 2023-24: CP3 to be waived by PHX? Paul wants it decided before 6/28 - Chicagojk - 06-08-2023 Hollinger top 25 free agent BORDS rankings. His numbers are off on projections I remember from last year but this is from his data. Kyrie was at 59 million and #1 on his list. 22. Christian Wood, C, 27, Dallas: $17,289,331 Well, that was an interesting ride. The Mavs steadily soured on Wood despite substantial production, partly because of his defense at the five and partly because everything got weird in Dallas during the second half of the season. Wood is caught somewhat between positions at 6-10, 214 pounds, and might function best as a third big man who can flex between power forward and center. At either spot, he is a huge force offensively, with 3-point range, the ability to attack off the dribble and enough pop to be a lob threat as a rim runner. The other use for him, however, is just as a starting center, especially if he’s paired with a bully four who can crossmatch with him at times. Wood’s other calling card is that he’s the best big who is clearly available, with the other centers on this list likely returning to their own teams. He should be the first call for any team in need of offensive firepower at the center spot. 1. Kyrie Irving, PG, 31, Dallas: $50,555,884 There is a lot more that goes into having Irving on your team than BORD$ is able to process, which is why sentient beings may put a lower value on Irving than my computer formula does. Between injuries, insolence and inoculations (or lack thereof), Irving hasn’t played more than 60 games in a season in four years; he’s only had three seasons in his 12 as a pro that would make him award-eligible (more than 65 games). (Odd fact: When Irving did play, he led the league in minutes per game.) On the other hand, he’s also an offensive whirlwind who averaged 27 points a game on 63.4 percent true shooting in 20 games as a Maverick last season. Irving’s BORD$ pegs him being worth more than his $46.5 million max for the coming season, but the two more pressing questions are whether the collateral locker room damage is worth it, and whether he can continue to stay this productive on a deal that pushes into his mid-30s. Given how many teams lack either the cap space to sign Irving or the willingness to put up with him, Dallas may be able to push back and offer him something short of his four-year, $210 million max (let alone the five-year version for $272 million). Dallas could also go longer on years and shorter on money, which would be appealing from managing its luxury-tax situation. The Mavs are $48 million from the projected tax line before paying Irving a cent and would still have five open roster spots to fill after signing Irving. As for the Lakers, L.A. can’t get anywhere close to Irving’s max in any realistic cap room scenario. A sign-and-trade, however, would get kind of wacky but is theoretically possible. The Lakers would need to pick up Mo Bamba’s guarantee, guarantee Shaq Harrison’s deal, pick up Malik Beasley’s option and sign their first-round pick (17th). After a month, they could trade the pick along with Bamba, Beasley, Harrison and Max Christie and pay Irving up to $43 million for the first season of a four-year deal totaling $187 million. There are other permutations, such as including D’Angelo Russell or Rui Hachimura in a sign-and-trade. Sign-and-trading one of Wenyen Gabriel, Troy Brown or Tristan Thompson could also bump up Irving’s first-year salary another $1.5 million or so. (I also am presuming the Lakers would have to throw another pick into this, but it has no cap implications.) However, a sign-and-trade would also hard cap the Lakers, who would have only four players under contract, need to sign at least 10 more and have only about $40 million to pull it off — including re-signing Austin Reaves and Hachimura. For that reason, the lower Irving’s first-year salary is at the end of the deal, the more plausible a sign-and-trade is from L.A.’s end … but the less plausible it is for Irving. |
