Here are five players the #Pacers should consider in free agency.
Do you think Deandre Ayton is worth the cost?

If the Suns sign-and-trade Deandre Ayton without getting a starting center in return, their pickings on the market will be slim. For @PHNX_Suns, I rounded out our MLE targets by looking at this year’s crop of bigs: https://t.co/Ir9rHrtsyo pic.twitter.com/vHIfFSTRW0 – 10:03 AM

Meanwhile, Kyrie Irving is out there at odds as high as 150-1 for MVP. If he is throwing lobs to Ayton …

With DeAndre Ayton to #Nets rumors rampant, #Heat getting a meeting with Jalen Brunson and #spurs trading Dejounte Murray to #Hawks, there are not a whole bunch of unrestricted free agency options for Leon Rose and the #Knicks. Huge day for him. Hope he has Plans B and C. – 9:27 AM

Not reporting, but reading the free agency landscape this morning:
It’s starting to feel like the Pacers might be the most “real” spot for Deandre Ayton via S&T. Indiana having cap space + contracts to send back to Phoenix eliminates most of the Base Year Compensation issues. – 8:17 AM

With the new projected salary cap of $123.6 million, the Spurs’ max cap space possibility expands from $34.4 million to $36 million.
Still enough to offer a free agent with 0-6 years of experience a max contract (Example: Ayton) – 2:57 PM

Brooklyn, in need of athleticism in the frontcourt, likes Ayton and could piece together a package headlined by Joe Harris. But Ayton’s options, for now, appear limited. -via Sports Illustrated / June 30, 2022
Michael Grange: Some pre-free agency Raptors intel: While DeAndre Ayton has been linked to Raps by a few outlets, my understanding is there have been no talks re: Toronto landing the Suns centre, which would be difficult in any case due to base year compensation issues in the required S&T.; 1/ -via Twitter @michaelgrange / June 30, 2022
ESPN’s Brian Windhorst said on the most recent The Hoop Collective podcast that he would “keep an eye on Indiana” in regards to restricted free agent Deandre Ayton and that the Pacers were interested in a potential Ayton trade before last season’s February trade deadline (38:20 mark), though the Suns didn’t want to break up their core at the time. -via Bleacher Report / June 30, 2022
