Bro, you can’t have a contender with Gobert.Chicago would be a contender if they traded for Rudy without sacrificing much talent. Vuc, Williams and lots of picks keeps their roster intact.
Jazz receive: DeAndre Ayton, Patrick Williams, #18, Portland 2023 1st (via Chicago)
Suns receive: Nikola Vucevic
Bulls receive: Rudy Gobert
The Suns are actively looking to trade Ayton because they don't think he's worth a max, lol.Lol give me one solid reason why Phoenix does that?

The reason they want to move Ayton is so they don't have to max him out and avoid the luxury tax. Why would they take on Gobert who is way more expensive than Ayton?There will be much better offers. Hell I’d probably do a Gobert for Ayton swap myself.

The two most realistic offers they'll have are Jerami Grant or Myles Turner
The reason they are moving on from Ayton is hardly due to money. There is some extra curricular stuff going on there.
They could add salary with Ayton but this is all worthless anyways because we won’t be taking someone back in a sign-and-trade due to becoming hard capped.
I think all 3 trades are better than staying put. I have serious concerns in our new coach getting exactly the same level out of Rudy. We know Rudy is good, but does a new system make him look less dominant and thus make him less valuable?I’m just not sure how much more or what else people expect value wise? As a win now move I would prefer Collins/Capela/Hunter if that’s even available then Anunoby/Trent then the Chicago deal. Long-term the Chicago deal may be the most valuable.
The Suns owner is notoriously cheap and they'd pay like $63M in luxury tax fees if they extend Ayton on a max...
