Ayton is having another bad series. I am not really convinced that Phoenix is the one to blame for that. I wonder what his value is around the league. Could a rebuilding team see him as one of key building blocks for future? San Antonio doesn't really have a center yet, Indy wanted to sign him before. Would BKN do something like Claxton, O'Neale and Harris?
Phoenix definitely wants to stay as competitive as possible. I don't think Wood SnT is realistic. I don't think they would be dumping CP3 just to be able to SnT Wood. Maxi instead seems decent. I agree that #10 seems a lot for a player that is on a max contract and not playing near max level. How about if we split that #10 with another team for multiple picks? Utah for example has #16 (would go to Phoenix) and #28 (stays with Mavs). That would seem decent.
I don't think Maxi is doing much for them.
I might just prefer #10 to that trade. And I'm no fan of the drafting gamble.
Splitting the pick might be a good try.
