TDL Archived: The 2nd Rnd Pick Yankee Swap

Is there a path to Ayton that gets him here without giving up any of those guys?

Phoenix is only trading if it makes them better and perhaps cheaper - unclear what the new owner wants. Could they see Wood as a better option than Ayton? They for sure wouldn't have any interest in Bertans and likely also not THJ. 

I agree judging his value is tough. He seems overpaid. He is also a huge risk so I wouldn't give up any draft capital. Because if it doesn't work, it would be tough to recover. Wood and Dorian seems like a package that should satisfy Phoenix (if they like Wood as a starter). We could also throw in their old friend McGee  Mavs would still have the assets for the wing trade that would replace Dorian, likely in the summer.
