This is a preview of the Mikal Bridges extension.
Would be great if the Isaac extension were a preview of Ayton's.

If he came back healthy I’d love to trade Ayton for Isaac.

Clearly I don’t have a lot of faith in Ayton becoming a star. Isaac is a better defender and offensive player. Sure if Ayton hits his ceiling he’s better than Isaac. I just don’t think he will. The injury concerns for Isaac would keep me from doing it though.

Isaac is a better shot blocker, other than that, I just dont see what you do.

Isaac is not better than Ayton, in the now, or potentially.

I disagree there. Isaac was a DPOY candidate early last year before he got hurt. His per-36 numbers were 15/9/2 with 3 blocks and 2 steals. He can defend anyone. He shoots 34% from 3 and can put the ball on the floor. The only think Ayton does better is rebound.

I guarantee Ayton is better than Jonathan Issac in every statistical category for 2020-2021 season seeing how Issac IS GOING MISS THE ENTIRE SEASON DUE TO INJURY!!! Issac is extremely injury prone, and no way shape and form would I trade Ayton for someone who has high potential to be injured for most of that 4yr deal.

Good point. Tough to produce when you rarely see the court.
Synchronicity and all that jazz, man.

I don’t know why so many on here are ready to trade Ayton for damn role players. I don’t oppose trading him but we should aim a little higher. Jeez.

Well as I said, I would trade Ayton for him IF HE WAS HEALTHY

You’re not getting a star player for Ayton, sorry it’s just not happening.

Agree to disagree. I know I’m in the minority but I think he’s going have a good to great season this year and will average somewhere around 20 & 12, making him prime trade bait next season if star becomes available.

All of these extensions are nuts. I don't think there is a single one that teams will feel good about a year from now.
