The contract doesn't look nearly as bad if he can become a stretch 5, imho. Either way, PHX will still be a formidable team. Maybe Ayton does take that next step and the offense is mainly focused on him and Booker then Paul third.
Phoenix will be a better team when they trade him for whoever they're planning on trading him for. Smoke they've been blowing recently notwithstanding, it's pretty clear that divorce is coming. It's just been delayed. Much like JB if we had retained him, but a much more toxic situation.
