Yeah, this is not an obvious move for the Suns. After their big trades I was pretty worried about their depth, and I can see why this move would appeal to them, sort of? At least they're getting a mix of youth and experience, with decent upside.

If internally they've given up on Ayton for reasons we don't know about, maybe it's not the worst trade in the world. Certainly not the best. Little and Johnson are interesting. I'm really curious about what Ayton's value will be in a year.

But none of that changes the guns for hire feeling. Being a fan is hard in the analytics era, as much as I enjoy it.
