Portland would end up shipping Ayton to Sacramento for quite a haul in this trade. That would leave Donovan Clingan and Robert Williams III as the two futures at the center spot in Portland.
Ayton (knee) tallied 21 points (9-19 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), 14 rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block across 34 minutes in Tuesday's 125-112 win over the Bucks.
