Whyyyyyyyyyyyy

What could we even offer that PHX would want to make the contracts work?

Hopefully nothing they want, but Stein said the 10th pick would be needed to make it work.

Hell no, but I feel it's already done by the way people like Chuck Cooperstein talk about it. Like they are grooming us for the inevitable.

Bertans and McGee works
Timmy and Kleber works
Kyrie would work with a third team

I wouldn't pull off a trade for Ayton even if it only cost us expiring contracts and no picks, though.

Ayton is not a basketball player. His rebounding in the playoffs was sub-Wood. He was out of position defensively as much as Wood. His offensive game is not that great and more than anything, he doesn't have the fire in his belly for basketball.

He was just tall in the Bahamas so they trained him to go through the motions so he did and got paid for it, but he's not someone who leaves his blood, sweat, and tears on the court.
