I thought the potential trade was after the draft, and it was basically a salary dump by Mavs that died because they wouldn't take McGee, right?. I think we would have had both Ayton and Lively (Timmy was definitely part of the outgoing).
There were a lot of different reports.
BREAKING: Rumors are circulating about a trade that would send Deandre Ayton to the Mavs for Tim Hardaway Jr., Javale McGee, Josh Green and the 10th overall pick.
NBA sources believes the Dallas Mavericks are a ‘likely’ landing spot for Deandre Ayton, per @EricPincus
“The Suns need depth. I can see them getting Tim Hardaway Jr., JaVale [McGee] back, Josh Green and No. 10,”
Marc Stein reports that on draft night the Mavs offered the Suns a package of Tim Hardaway Jr., Richaun Holmes, & JaVale McGee for Deandre Ayton, but Phoenix did not want to take on JaVale McGee.
A source said talks could resume later in the future.
Either way. We avoided the Ayton nightmare thanks to the Suns saying no.
