Please don't trade Timelord!

You are probably right but I still want to see it for a few minutes a game. They don't need to shoot 3s to spread the floor,
but are we sure they can't? Ayton is 5-13 ( 38.5 %) Maybe he has improved? Williams is 1-2 but I would want him under the basket. Same as DC

Nobody respects Aytons shot yet and he'd rather hang out around the FT line anyway. Even without another big, he messes up driving lanes with the way he positions himself on the floor.

Trade Ayton.

I mean, I'm totally with you, but what I can't work out is: how? Who wants him?

Ayton is stuck in POR. Only the most desperate would consider. PHI MIL DEN LAL are desperate esp the east teams

They've been thrown out there a few times, but I can see OKC offering up a 1st, just because they have so many, but beyond that, it seems very unlikely many other teams would or even have picks they can trade.

And that might actually be a good thing for them to do. He'd be a great guy to have their youngs learn from.

 

[Cugel]

How can you get PG from PHI and dump him to a third team?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Ayton for Capella and Nance can make some sense for ATL. Not sure Portland is willing to do it however.

It might require improvement through deduction.
The loss in the return might still be eclipsed by the value of Klingan being on the court more with RWIII.

Typically, I would not be in favor of such a dump. However in this instance, It will likely be addition by subtraction.

Blazers more likely to trade DeAndre Ayton than Robert Williams?

While Fischer also brought up Robert Williams as a possible option for the Lakers, he says he has talked to people around the league recently, including scouts, who believe the Trail Blazers may be more inclined to trade Deandre Ayton than Williams at this season’s trade deadline. Given that Ayton’s cap hit is nearly three times higher than Williams’, the Blazers may have a hard time extracting much of value for the former No. 1 overall pick
