The NBA Draft is just over a month away and there isn’t much to explore for the Phoenix Suns. The team traded away its first round draft pick this season, which ended up being the 21st overall pick, to the Brooklyn Nets in the Kevin Durant trade.

Or are they?
Phoenix Suns insider Flex from Jersey provided an alternative to that thinking:
Multiple sources have confirmed Portland has interest in Deandre Ayton & could be willing to discuss a deal centered around the 3rd overall pick and additional pieces.
