I'm not opposed to the trade with Brooklyn. I think Seth Curry would be helpful here.
I don't like the other two trades. The one with the Lakers is completely non-sensical. The other one completely undervalues Ayton. I know the general consensus here is that he's not playing to his salary-level and is not motivated, but he's not trash or a bust. If you're a team that thinks you know how to unlock 2021-playoff Ayton consistently, that is an NBA All-Star. That's a guy who is a legit #2 on a championship team and could even be a #1 some nights.
Siakam is great and I love the guy, but adding in all those picks is crazy town.
You wrote exactly what I was going to post.

No Suns on the initial All-Star team. Can’t say anyone really deserves it, so whatever.

Ayton + 2 1st + a swap seems like an awful lot. F the TWolves for creating such a ridiculous trade value situation. I blame them for screwing everything up all the way back to the KG trade where McHale traded him to Boston and his buddy Ainge.
Am I the crazy one? It seems light to me. I’d jump at that offer.
Yes, you've fallen into temporary insanity like the league post-Ainge. The deals made under this kind of situation are the ones you regret later when the league collectively wakes up.

It’s also insane to be stingy when trading a role player on a max salary.

I’m with Split, y’all are wildin. Attaching 3 picks with Ayton is too much but so is 2 picks??? So what’s the limit here? 1 pick? Only 2nd rounders? No picks?
I really don’t get it…do people on here just not like Siakam? Ayton and 2 1sts isn’t that much

Jae Crowder has turned into such a prick.

Have you been hanging around with Mike D’Antoni?

He was always this guy, he just played for the Suns so you didn't see it.

I think I am going to go low profile for a bit. This conversation is starting to get into JeremyG territory and I neither want to be jerked around or become a jerk myself

The key is to keep the jerk out of both sides. No reason we can't continue to converse about it without it getting ugly.
