This idea is based on reports that the Hawks are 1) discussing trading for Deandre Ayton, and 2) willing to trade John Collins. KD goes to his reported preferred Western Conference destination in Phoenix and Kyrie goes to LA. Brooklyn gets to remain competitive while getting younger at the same time. Probably not gonna happen, but thought it made sense based on reports.
