  1. Hart + Nurkic for Ayton would be amazing.

    Ayton is actually a really good fit next to Dame. A big with a nice midrange game and good touch is exactly what he needs

    Plus he’s actually a healthy big and is mobile/plays defense. Sure he’s not a star, but he’d be *so* much better for us

  2. rock-or-something

    I wonder who from Chicago are negotiating for, hopefully not caruso

    Ayton would be an upgrade, I’d do that.

    Meanwhile, it’s incredibly frustrating to see Anfernee described as “untouchable”

  4. Main_street_man

    I would give hart, Nurk, and some young pieces or a pick (maybe 2) for Crowder/Ayton.

    Dame, Ant, Crowder, Grant, Ayton is a solid starting 5. Then GPII, Nas, Justice, Drew off of the bench.

    Ant should not be untouchable. Neither should Grant if he wants more than we are offering. I’m going to be SO pissed if we give him 200+ million.

    Now this is what I’m fucking talking about.

    “The following is speculative”

    So basically glorified Rip City Reddit hypothetical trade ideas, got it ha.

  8. KillingTime_ForNow

    If it’s true Ant is untouchable I think I’m gonna take a step back from watching this franchise for the forseeable future. Don’t need to waste anymore of my life watching 2 undersized guards that play zero defense. Already did it for 7 years. Not interested in doing it for multiple more seasons.

  9. Don’t particularly like Crowder, as he is a flopping bitch. As long as he flops as hard for us I guess.

  10. joesenseii

    Dame and Grant I could see as untouchable. Not Ant though, especially if we’re serious about trying for a chip in the Dame era

  11. PM_IF_YOU_LIKE_TRAPS

    Ant is untouchable because hes Dames prodigy. He would never okay the trade. Stop being bums guys

  12. Wild-Exchange6257

    Crowder + Hart to Atlanta
    Nurkic + Collins to PHX
    Ayton to Portland
    Make it so!

  13. Wild-Exchange6257

    Crowder + Hart to Atlanta
    Nurkic + Collins to PHX
    Ayton to Portland
    Make it so!

  14. Ouchyhurthurt

    Hopefully untouchable really means “untouchable if not for a star playet)

  15. ripshippy77

    Lmao at simons being untouchable. Franchise is a joke

  16. DeRozan and Drummond for Nurk, Hart, and Keon

    Then I woke up from my nap

  17. ripcitayyy77

    Just because someone ‘reports’ that a dude is or isn’t untouchable doesn’t mean it’s true. In back to back days Haynes told one radio station Ant was untouchable and Quick told another he could get moved. Nobody knows

  18. A suns buddy of mine sent me a trade machine that was something like Nurk & Ant for Ayton & Crowder and I kinda like it.

    How about Richaun Holmes? I was surprised to find that he has fallen out of rotation this season. I don’t know much about him outside his insane high fg%, how about his defense? He’s 6-10 and looks like a mobile/rangy big that fits what Chauncey wants in defense.

    Hart for Holmes straight up would work. Kings could use a player like Hart (who couldn’t? lol) and even if it doesn’t work out, this helps them get out of Holmes’ remaining contract (2 seasons left after the current one, about $12 mil per)

    For us, yeah I like to package Hart/Nurk/more to trade for a long term solution at C but such opportunity is not easy to come by. Incremental step is meaningful and Holmes is such a step in fixing our size issue.

  20. darksideofthemoondog

    Is there a world where we go for Bridges over Ayton?

  21. Frosti11icus

    Jae Fucking Crowder is not bringing this team a ring. Also, -100 charisma points for this team with him on it. He is first team all “exploiting all the worst parts in the rulebook”.

  22. DIET-_-PLAIN

    Untouchable Anfernee?!? Good god that must be wrong.

  23. RIPSCHITTY

    All speculation. The front office is going to end up standing pat I just got a bad feeling

  24. phil3199

    Ant is untouchable? Ghost of Olshey still running the team.
