Pels are Favored to Land Deandre Ayton if traded

Not my first choice but I keep thinking Ayton is going to explode. He has the tools to be a fricking monster.

And he did look better at the end of last year.

But I'm not sure BI is ready to admit that he's not getting the max from a real contender and would be OK with signing an extension with Portland (or Charlotte or Orlando or any other rebuilding team).

Until BI and the Pels are firmly on the same page as the rest of the league about his market value, nothing is happening.
