Arguably the simplest three-team trade possible for Durant, and a return that Brooklyn shouldn’t walk away from.
If the Nets are not interested in Ayton, as it sounds, they could land Turner at a cheaper price along with Brodges, a promising wing in Johnson, and two first round picks. They’re not going to find much better than two solid starters at positions of need and the picks.
Indy flips Turner for Ayton because they want the four year commitment and they have the cap space to pay him a fair amount over that time. Great match with Haliburton as two young core pieces moving forward.
