Deandre Ayton To Dallas Mavericks
Dallas Mavericks Receive: C Deandre Ayton
Charlotte Hornets Receive: F Davis Bertans, F/C Maxi Kleber, 2027 First-Round PIck (DAL)
Phoenix Suns Receive: G Terry Rozier, G/F Cody Martin
One thing seems clear. Deandre Ayton seems likely to head elsewhere.
The Suns big man looked disengaged throughout these playoffs. The rumours have grown so strong that they’re impossible to deny.
If the Suns are flipping him, they could use a guard who puts pressure on the rim. That’s why they’re acquiring Rozier here. Moreover, Martin is a solid 3-and-D wing who would deepen their rotation.
Meanwhile, a fresh start on the Dallas Mavericks feels appropriate for Ayton. As for the Hornets, they’ll be landing a 2027 first-round pick for a team that could be in a desperate position by then.
