Ayton is a culture killer and antithetical to what our team is about….(tenacious blue collar grind out style)
i wonder if a big whisperer like thibs might can turn him into a defensive beast…?

This is also the same guy that was called out during the playoffs for saying the Knicks were the easier team to face

There would be other guys in the $24m-$3-m range available as well to upgrade at Center.

The Knicks are over the first apron. They can't take in more money than they send out. Ayton makes $34M this year. Mitch makes $14.3M. They don't have cap space to offer Precious $20M which I doubt they would if they could and are currently sitting at 12 players under contract and they must carry at least 14 players. Part of the cap space will be used to fill out the roster. Part may be saved to use with the $5.2M taxpayer MLE.
If you want Ayton you would have to include a bigger contract than Mitch or what is available to Precious or send out a significant portion of the rotation for 1 player while still finding a way to fill out the roster under the 2nd apron. Do you really want Ayton that bad?
I also believe Portland currently has a full 15 man roster. They can't do a 2 for 1 deal unless they cut someone or send them somewhere else and if that somewhere else is New York that is more money the Knicks would have to match.

Because the BYC rules, we count Precious salary in a trade as half of his real salary (if higher than his old 4,3M salary).
