I think most would agree no deal for Turner is possible without getting #10. Ayton is the better defender and rebounder and we haven't underpaid for a trade since the first Obama term. So, it is hard to imagine we get out of such a deal without giving up the pick. I've been trying to find ways to soften the blow by making it a trade-down instead of a trade-out.
I think the simplest way is something like #10 to Utah for #16 and #28. Send #16 to Phoenix with matching salary and keep the #28.
