Phoenix Suns Receive: F Davis Bertans, G/F Luguentz Dort, F Kenrich Williams
Oklahoma City Thunder Receive: C Deandre Ayton
In addition to this, the Thunder isn’t even expected to give up any draft capital as part of this deal. Ayton’s value has unfortunately plummeted over the past few years.
There hasn’t been any indication that the Suns are making this big man their top priority. As a result, they should not expect other teams to prioritize him on the trade market either.
Therefore, it is likely that the Thunder – like any other team – will be able to get him at a discount. Having said that, would even the Thunder consider this to be a benefit for their team?
Since this team has more first-round picks than it knows what to do with, they will have plenty of options at their disposal. It is inevitable that the Thunder will have to consolidate at some point in time.
