The chatter around the Portland Trail Blazers and their interest in disgruntled Phoenix Suns restricted free agent Deandre Ayton has been doing the NBA rounds for a couple of weeks
Former Memphis Grizzlies executive John Hollinger highlighted the potential for the Blazers to trade unrestricted free agent Jusuf Nurkic for Ayton in free agency on the Hollinger and Duncan podcast.
The discussion, with Nate Duncan, surrounded what the Blazers could offer on top of Nurkic to ensure the Suns were happy. However both noted the obstacles that a potential double sign and trade would likely face.
