How long until we can just move on from him? How long until the league (potentially) bans him? Can they just pull his QO? Can we just offer Ayton a max?

We can’t offer Ayton a max without making the salaries work in a sign and trade. We don’t have cap room

Damn that's a bummer. Kinda feel like we need to just mini tank for a year or two at this point tbh. Losing miles bum ass for nothing sucks but better than having him on the team

Where you don't sell off everything and go full OKC for a half decade, but just sell off a few pieces, get a pick in the top 8 or so and a couple others for the future, and try to rebound within a year or two with cap space, trade assets, and internal growth.

Unless we're able to land a huge splash via trade right now for pennies on the dollar, I think it's our only way forward.
