the issue with that is doesn't that mean you can't trade him until the trade moratorium is lifted ... I am sure Dan knows the date but its usually in December.
If they deal him then they still fix any cap issues they have and can bring back a monster return. Players are paid per game so Ayton would have only made a fraction of his contracts first year.
That's a minor inconvenience to ensure you get maximum return for a star player. Phoenix knows that and did it in the past with Joe Johnson. The team that wants Ayton will cave and give them what they want.

Based on latest rumors no team with the requisite cap space is gonna offer Ayton the max. So he will agree to go wherever the Suns make a deal to get him the max. I don't think Ayton really gives a shit where he ends up beyond being a max salary guy. I also think more desirable destinations than Toronto would be willing to offer a better sign and trade package than Trent plus trash.
So assuming Ayton gets the max, that's about $30.25M. The Raptors (or Hawks) would have to send back $15.13M in contracts, but take back $30.25M. That's hard to pull off, especially if a team is over the cap.
I think its easiest for Ayton to find a team with cap space. Maybe the Spurs could be a dark horse team. Especially if they don't think Poeltl is their future.

I don’t generally go back and read all of someone’s posts to figure out their mindset when I’m replying to one post that is crystal clear.
I know you think FVV is a SG playing PG right now, and that you’d prefer Scottie in the PG role. I’m not trying to convince you differently. I was solely replying to the idea that the Raptors were on the phone gauging interest around the league in Fred, and that extending him was the last resort if they couldn’t trade him. That’s literally what you wrote.
You then made a whole lot out of nothing. As I said earlier, carry on, not worth further discussion.

Any likely trade will require a 3rd team so its a bit complicated. He's a BYC player.. meaning the team that trades for him his accepting his full max value in the trade, but the Suns will take back 50% of the contract as an outgoing part of the trade.

You can deal with that by finding a third team. But you can also add more pieces to a deal so the salary matching rules are satisfied.

To be clear, Phoenix can only use the 50% of his outgoing salary as matching salary. That matching salary still lets them take back 125% of it.

so realistically who has the most leverage then.... to me it seems like the Sun's still have a lot of leverage by comparison ... no?
By all accounts, that's a big if.
Then again, that also only applies if he really wants out of Phoenix. I don't think those have been the rumours, I thought it was mostly he wants the max and they don't want to give it to him. So he's probably perfectly fine with them matching and him staying there.

If they are willing to match and have his salary on the books for at least this next season, yes. You can't trade a player without their consent (that consent driving the same reduced return as a SnT would) for a full year after matching an offer sheet (and not to the team that made the offer sheet at all for that year).
By all accounts, that's a big if.

I thought you could hypothetically trade a player without consent if they are on your books and don't have a no trade clause.
So an RFA basically gets a no-trade clause built in, but expires in a year.

It's in the CBA faq.. for RFA's who's contracts were matched, they cannot be traded for a year without their consent, or to the team that sent him an offer sheet even with their consent.

Then doesn't that put the leverage back in ayton's hands then? because them matching he can still say no I wanna go x y z place or no.
