He'd be destroyed by prime Shaq, Robinson, Hakeem, etc.

And yes I get it dude has talent and Monty sucks at coaching, but he's clearly not interested in any of the Phoenix success at all.

Because of their dumbass new team owner trading entire future for KD, they have a serious issue now. They're not getting a nice trade package from Ayton, obviously Chris is washed and not available for decisive playoff games.

So basically no picks for a while and no one to build around Book and KD, unless some dumb team gives away quality starters for Ayton. Which I doubt since now his trade value is lowest its ever been.

Outdated thinking. Practically the whole league is over the cap and operating on Bird rights. So if a player is an asset you can’t lose him for nothing you sign him and keep that money slot. A trade ain’t nothin. They’ll trade Ayton easily

Ie GS turns KD into D Lo into Wiggins
That's different. D'Lo had a suitor. You think Indiana's looking at this and thinking to themselves, "if he's available this summer, pounce?"

It doesn't help that Wemby is gonna wind up on a team that has a center already, on top of the centers that might be available this summer anyway. Teams who need centers will be able to find them and not have to give up as much as they thought because there will be several out there.

Ayton doesn’t get any touches on this team especially in this series

If he‘s on a different team he can be a much better player

He’s not getting any shots with Booker and KD on this team
He might get a few more shots but it will be pretty much the same case on most teams. Unless you are an elite big, you are not getting many touches in todays game. He needs to really expand his game and start shooting 3s, etc

Well it works both ways, it also means a potential team would have to give less assets.

1- Not every team cares about money, bc they have no talent/are young and aren’t paying anybody (Magic, Hornets, Spurs, blazers if they trade Dame somewhere )

2- there’s quite a few teams with equally bad fits, just not as toxic (cough Boston and marcus smart)

Perfect example of ‘1 mans trash…’. I think the following teams would inquire if not pounce

Hawks- Ayton > Capela.

Cavs- Ayton for Allen swap

Toronto-replace Poetl with Ayton

Like what we talkin bout Ayton will have suitors lol

And then the funny part is okay if he’s such trash gon head trade him to another team out west with some talent or some contenders. Let Memphis put Ayton next to JJJ…trade Ayton for Gobert since y’all want dirty work so bad. Trade him to Boston surrounded by tatum, brown, defenders, and shooters and watch what happen.

Reminds me of D Lo. Players get ridiculed but go elsewhere and thrive.

I disagree, I think he needs to simplify his game to be more effective. Be like how deandre jordan was, or how mitchell robinson is now. Run, dunk, block shots.

If he simplified it to that he wouldn't be so frustrated about not getting post touches and locked in on getting offensive boards

You probably right most teams unless you have Embiid and Joker not playing through a big man but he's one of these dudes that needs some touches in order to be engaged.

If you want him to defend and rebound you gotta let him touch the ball
