Porzingis and Ayton on the Wizards, I don‘t know.
And the Suns are one of the few teams with a better shooting guard than Beal in Booker, or do they want Booker to play point guard…? Strange from all perspectives, but what do I know.
Beal has a no trade clause so he basically chooses where he wants to go. Washington only option is to say yes or no. Phoenix could do a package of CP3+Shamet or Ayton+Shamet. As they only have second rounders, first one really doesn't make any sense for Washington. Could they see Ayton as their center for the future? Find a third team to give them more assets for Ayton?
From Phoenix side, I don't get it. How do you build a team around 3 max players? Unless the deal would include both Ayton and CP3 and Washington sending some more vets (Wright, Morris or Gafford) to Phoenix.
In any case, if Phoenix manages to get a player like Beal for so little as they have, I see this as just another loss for Mavs.
