I wouldn´t want him now, considering what Nico has done with Lively/Gafford, but for the last 13 years Ayton for THJ/Kleber (not the pick) would have been better than all their other glorious ideas from Lamar Odom to De Andre Jordan to Javale McGee. At least Ayton was young and had shown plenty of promise. The jury is obviously out on Phoenix and next season is their whole window imho, but I think they lost every single trade they made since the new owner came on board, including Ayton.
Also heard Ayton was really good for the Bahamas and there was some shady sh*t going on in the qualifiers final in Spain. Now I wouldn´t trust Windhorst farther than I can throw him, which is not very far, since he believes Messi played for Real Madrid, but when it comes to cheating whether it is doping, naturalization, tax evasion and fraud, flat out bribery or just unsportsmanlike conduct, Spain are the cunt world champions of sports.
Yes nobody knows for sure but there are enough red flags in his character to avoid dipping your toes in those waters.
One of the biggest ones being that Ayton is reported too loving video games more than basketball. That's not something you would ever want around Luka who is not the hardest worker off the court himself.
