I expect they will be patient on Ayton and that is probably the smart move.
I am really curious if the Wizards could have gotten Ayton instead? I thought that would be the better move imo. Either move him yourself or try to rehab a little and then move him. I would love to be a fly on the wall for those trade conversations. Was Ayton even offered?
I'm guessing that Ayton was offered and rejected. Phx would have loved to get off Ayton's contract, but WAS preferred the short-term boat anchor of Paul's.
Aside from Phx, it feels like GM's around the league are understanding the implications of the new CBA, and how overpays really hurt roster construction.
