1. I'm not sure we need him anymore. I like Richaun Holmes. I think he has something left. Add in minutes from Lively, Kleber, and yes even McGee. Probably re-sign Powell. The center spot is better than last year.
2. I don't want to help Phoenix. They have no depth and want to dump Ayton to spread his money over 2 or 3 role players. Smart play on their part. As i mentioned, i like Holmes. And THJ off the bench for them would be a nice addition.
I'm not sure they'll find 2 better players for that Ayton contract. I want no part of helping out the Suns.
I was out on Ayton but at some point the value becomes so low you have to do it. He's a top 10 Center in the league and although you'd rather have a cheaper stop-gap until Lively is ready, you can more than likely move Ayton in 2 years for a greater return than what your giving now. He will become easier to move as his contract has less years and I have no doubt he will continue to be a 18/10 guy here.
