Trading away number 10 in this year's draft for Ayton would be a serious overpay. There is no way that I do that. Ayton is worth expiring contracts and a second rounder at best.
I want to ask all those that think that is Aytons value why? The Mavs traded Porzingis (a similar highly drafted player)having to take on two bad long contracts and gave a second rounder. I think PHX should expect a similar package in trading Ayton. In no world should the Mavs give up a lottery pick in a strong draft for Ayton?
If PHX insists on draft capital and the Mavs have no other choices to find a starting center I give up the '27 first top 20 protected at best. If they require a pick in this draft I may consider a trade down considering who is available and give the lower first (Utah 16/28 for 10).
Ayton is NOT worth number 10 in this year's draft. I know the Mavs want to do Duffy a favor and get his client elsewhere but not at the cost of overall team building.
