The Ayton Plan

[Phrazbit]

@Ronin … does that means odds went up or down that he comes back?

Went from a 1 dollar earns you 3.50 bet to a 1 dollar earns you one dollar.

Suns are just letting the league dictate what DA gets paid. IMO they fully intend/intended to keep him.
All we have to do is pray none of the other teams F with us and offer him some crazy amount.

Flex said we would get a superstar maybe he's Psychic and DA will turn into a Superstar.

We have to start calling them something other than Superstars, I cant get that weird SNL skit with the woman who used to smell her armpits outta my head.

NBA rumors: Deandre Ayton trade inquired about by Kings before draft

The Kings could be in the mix for the Suns' big man.

sports.yahoo.com

The Athletic reported on Wednesday that Sacramento has inquired with the Phoenix Suns about a potential sign-and-trade for the big man, who went from being viewed as a key piece of the Suns’ future to a question mark after the Suns were blown out in Game 7 of the second round of the playoffs by the Dallas Mavericks.

The Kings could include Harrison Barnes and the fourth pick in the NBA Draft in a potential sign-and-trade, The Athletic reported, though they wouldn’t be able to complete that trade until the beginning of free agency.

Would Sac really want to run Ayton and Sabonis in the front court? Neither are 3 point shooters. I could actually see Sac drafting Ivey and waiting to trade him because there is so much demand for him and they are trying to make the playoffs next year and want proven players.

Would Barnes and Ivey be enough? I'd want Holmes coming back as well if Sac's interest is legit. But I still don't see a team wanting to run out an Ayton/Sabonis front court.

Agreed, PHX was willing to do 4 years last year which will work in their favor this year as any team except PHX can only offer a 4 year max, so teams feel PHX will match.

I also imagine Jones is asking for a king's ransom which should be the case. My starting point would be a young star and picks. For example, Wendell Carter and the #1 overall pick.

I could see SAC offering Fox and pieces. They get an arguably better and cheaper player in Ivey in draft and have Mitchell on rookie deal.

Any SAC deal would be a no deal for me.

 

[Ronin]

Language. Yes, I'm a stickler for that even though it is one word.

I think the Kings could be an intriguing trade partner offering Mitchell, Holmes and #4.

Yeah. I don't really like Barnes unless we are losing Cam Johnson. I can't help but think a 3 way between the Suns, Kings, and Hawks might be brewing. Kings have been tied to Collins and he fits with Sabonis much better than Ayton. And Ayton has obviously been tied to the Hawks.

Throw in a Crowder for Barnes swap and you got a deal.

Now you are cooking.

Sounds like the players want Ayton back.

Even the fans want Ayton back.

lol... not exactly a ringing endorsement of bringing DA back like Bridges and the Cams voiced.

He sort of sounds like he did after the 6th playoff game against the Mavericks.

Paul has also been around a long time and has been traded a few times himself he knows this is a business

 

[Finito]

I think he’s checked out.

 

[Mainstreet]

I think he’s checked out.

It's beginning to feel that way.

 

[Chaplin]

It's beginning to feel that way.

Just how engaged should he be on June 22nd? Maybe he learned his lesson from last season and doesn't want to say anything because of what people on messages boards will interpret it as.
