Phoenix negotiations with ayton reach an impasse by the deadline, so they pivot towards a cheaper, almost as reliable center who would fit better with their open, 5 out system. They also receive baze to solidify their forward rotation and two non lottery firsts one of which is their own to begin with.

Okc gets their center of the future, forming a duo with sga and two extra forwards that fit their timeline. They can take fliers on both of them to decide who will crack the rotation along with poku as their primary pf without losing too much of their significant draft capital.

Indy gets crowder to bolster their shooting and perimeter defense from the forward position and decent young player and draft compensation and finally breaks up the sabonis turner duo since it hasn’t worked in the past.
