    However I’d take Ayton over KAT if those are the options.

    perhaps...although I didn't say you were one, I said you were like one with your "trade-Dame" approach as the answer to every Blazer question, and solution to every Blazer problem. I replied to:

    which you said for the 18,7,32nd time...'like' a broken record. Don't get me wrong, I replay my golden oldies all the time too, and obviously have a derangement issue by hanging out in this place

    but maybe that's a little too Perry-Mason-in-the-FAQ by dancing around in that gray area that separates posters from their posts. sorry

    I think Vogel wants to keep Ayton. He already came out and said they aren't cutting CP3.

    Ayton is horseshit, no thank you.

    Not sure how we get salaries to match if it's just Nurk and filler.

    If we include Ant I don't like it.

    I do really like the idea of keeping #3. Ayton contract doesn't look bad when we're talking about paying Brown or Siakam 250+ million plus losing that pick. Next season salaries have to match in a trade so it's really only 1 additional risky year, then it's an expiring deal.

    I guess I would too, but only because of KAT’s albatross of a contract.

    Ayton is also a lot healthier than KAT has been.

    How much is it worth it to have a center who puts up 18/10 while playing on average in 75% of his games? We have had a guy who can't stay healthy. Nurk has missed half his games in the past four years.

    Rather have Carter jr who will put up less point but equal rebounds and able to switch out. Complete no brainer

    Won't demand shots. Most of the trades I see on here load up the team with guys who will want to get their shots. I'd like to see a couple additions of guys who don't have to get their looks, play very good defense, and most importantly...are very good rebounders.

    I kinda might do Nurk and Ant for Ayton if Miller is there at 3. Dame, Shaedon, Miller, Grant and Ayton ain't a bad squad.
