I don’t know, mark Williams is young and supposedly a defensive center. Hayward could be a decent 6 th man. It might not be awful. And maybe we can pry a 1st rounder out of them as well.

Super small sample size pretty much half a season he couldn’t beat out Plumlee

Gordon Hayward hasn’t been good since he left Utah like 7 years ago.

I don't think the rest of the West has much to worry about. Did you see the earlier post about all of the superteams Durant has been on, most of which didn't do squat? What makes the Suns better than any of those rosters?
Harden is a selfish non team player. Ditto for Kyrie.

I like our 3 better than all of his super teams other than the warriors, and he won titles with them.

Just got back from the beach wasn't expecting this trade, I like it. I thought maybe I had sunstroke when I read about it on the plane home.
I'm FULLY behind it! Didn't think we would get a Beal caliber of player.
Yep he's getting older but still has game and IS A BALLAH like KD and Book.

My favorite part is that I wont get almost kicked out of any more games for screaming obscenities at Shamet!

Yeah it really doesn't take much to realize that this isn't really comparable to the Brooklyn big 3. Beal and Booker are much less "me" guys than Kyrie and Harden.

Yeah. Beal a good player though. Him and Booker getting to the hoop and KD bombing away from the outside. It might work for a while.

But "super team" is a little ambitious, I agree.

I think this can work. If Ayton buys in, all we need him to do is stand under the basket and grab the very few shots the big 3 miss.
If this team can get ahold of those 2nd chance points its gravy, no one can beat us.
Now about the injuries the bench and the Ayton. I know most people want him gone but for some reason I think Ishbia thinks he can evolve Ayton.
Yes we should part him out for scraps and that's all we would get but I wouldn't be shocked if he was still around to start the season.
Basically he's worth more to us than any other team in the league.
Or maybe Ishbias gonna do more magic.
psst! don't forget about the bench Mr. Ishbia

Ayton ain’t gonna buy in. It’s time to get some solid role players out of his salary, get a ring chaser or two and pray we get that one season where all these guys are healthy enough to get us that one precious chip.

Wouldn’t we be over paying Ayton just to do that? He is being paid max money but playing as a role player. Seems like a better option if we can flip him for more role players
