The Phoenix Suns are battling for an NBA championship as the top seed in the Western Conference. Once the offseason rolls around, there could be an interesting storyline coming out of the desert.
Deandre Ayton has taken major steps forward with Chris Paul at point guard. This is something that Paul has done over the course of his career and Ayton is the next big man who is playing well.
This made many wonder if Phoenix was going to trade its a big man. He has not been moved to this point given the fact that the team is still fighting for a title. Once the season is complete, the Suns could test his value on the trade market if they are still unable to meet for an extension.
The San Antonio Spurs could have interest in Ayton because of their history with big men. Who can forget Tim Duncan and David Robinson? Gregg Popovich knows a thing or two about developing a center and Ayton could be the next star to come out of the franchise.
