2021-2022 ROSTER TALK: [ARCHIVED]

[SleepingHero]

Ayton wants max money so I want no part of him.  I'm firmly in the camp that thinks you should be 10 cents on the dollar for a traditional center.  I also kind of think we are at least two seasons (after KP's last pick conveys to NY) before we should start dreaming about big names again.  I guess Jalen could break that rule if he keeps taking leaps.

I think when you have a player of Luka's caliber you should always maximize the talent around him. He almost singlehandedly willed the Mavs over Kawhi+PG+Ty Lue.

So if I'm Cuban/Nico, I'm trying to get the best fitting big name I can possibly find as soon as possible. 

Surprised you're not a fan of Ayton. He's a traditional center that doesn't necessarily suffer the downsides of most traditional centers. He's quick enough to contain most guards on the perimeter and was one of the better defenders against Giannis last year. He's also a remarkably efficient scorer down low. He actually has a post game AND a PnR game. 

Not to mention him and Luka had/have some chemistry together. Here he was (*with his mom I believe) helping Luka on draft day.

Do want to say that I believe this is a moot point. Should the Suns be dumb enough to not pay him, there's no way they'd accept a paltry Mavs offer.
