If a team with Paul, Booker, Durant, and a coach like Monty Williams can't get Ayton in line, our team and staff certainly aren't going to.
Still, I'm tempted because skilled big men like him are rarely available and we have a huge need there One tough thing is he also has 3 more years at $102m total. If we didn't have to give up much (Brogdon, Gallinari, Pritchard, a protected 1st) then maybe it'd be worth the risk. It's just hard to envision the team eventually being able to cobble enough role players with whatever is left of the budget in 1-2 years as Brown's max hits and then Tatum's. I guess that means Rob would almost certainly have to be part of the deal, even though he's on a cheap, desirable contract. Adding Ayton would also put a lot of pressure on replacing one of Smart and White next offseason to get below the 2nd apron (assuming you still want to keep Horford around the last year of his deal as like a veteran leader-type).
