Yeah I think it's a no brainer if you can swap Grant on an expiring deal for Ayton on a 4 year deal. The Pistons don't have any big contracts on their books and Ayton's deal would be coming to an end before they'd have to extend anyone.

Imagine trying to go against that frontcourt while on offense. Edited June 1, 2022 by Texansfan713 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Grant be used in the S&T for Ayton? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine trying to go against that frontcourt on offense. The NBA is trending towards small ball and Mark Williams can only operate around the rim so you'd essentially be forcing Chet to be on the perimeter almost exclusively on offense if they played together. There are also other centers later in the draft that could play a similar role. I think someone like Walker Kessler would fit better next to Chet than Mark.

Yeah essentially Detroit would sign him to a max offer sheet and assuming Phoenix doesn't want to match they'd work a S&T sending Grant back to the Suns.

Yeah, if you can pull that off, it's a no brainer. Adding Ivey/Sharpe and Ayton to Cunningham is *chef's kiss* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Raptors have been linked to both Rudy/Ayton so it looks like they want rim protection. If I'm Phoenix I'd value Grant more than Turner and would look to add someone like Mitchell Robinson in free agency. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Suns are a well run organization and, if he pulls a max offer sheet, they'll match it, regardless of the history of what's gone on.
