"Although the transaction came Doncic, you can't even understand the most basic center. If you want the center, you won't come, and if you want the center, you won't come. If you want the center, you won't come. If you want the center in the 77, you will be in the middle. If you say that you will cut you a knife and don't trade. Free market players have centers that can be used this year. Seeing that they are picked one by one, Ayton will definitely join, have you promised? When you see the pressure of public opinion, you can draw a cake in 2027. What you are wasting now is 077."
