Deandre Ayton to the Pacers?

The first pick in the 2018 NBA draft wants to go to the Indiana Pacers on a four-year, $133 million maximum contract. Phoenix Suns can match him if they want but I don’t think they will match him because I don’t think Monty Williams likes how he plays or his personality. If he signs the deal with the Pacers what will they do with Myles Turner? They could trade him or cut him, but they are definitely not going to cut him. They are going to trade him to the Los Angeles Clippers. The Clippers want a good center who can shoot and play defense, and he is an upgrade from Ivica Zubac. They can trade Miles Turner for Ivica Zubac, Marcus Morris and last but not least a second-round pick. It helps both teams: the Clippers get a center who can shoot and play defense and the Pacers need a power forward. Right now they have Oshae Brissett and Jalen Smith. They could use a good power forward like Marcus Morris. And a good backup center like Ivica Zubac. He is a much better player than Isaiah Jackson or Goga Bitadze.
