    We need to hang on to Ayton.

    The Eastern Co will be wide open next year. Celtics, Bucks, and Pacers are taking the year off. Some team with a puncher's chance to get to the ECF will overpay at the trade deadline for a center.

    Also this is a contract year for Ayton. HUGE motivation to get a contract anywhere close to his current one. He'll be highly motivated.

    Keep him until the trade deadline, his value will go up.

    If we dont trade him, coach will start him. Quick reminder, our top 2 man combination were...

    The 3 combinations possible that include Tou, Deni, DC
    The 4th combination was Scoot-Sharpe.

    Ant, Grant, and Ayton weren't in our top 4 2-man combinations.
