The Suns have emerged as a “dark horse” to help facilitate a Damian Lillard trade (or another larger deal) as teams call about Deandre Ayton. For @PHNX_Suns, here’s what we’re hearing about DA, Jusuf Nurkic, the Blazers, the Raptors and more: bit.ly/45Zr3Bv pic.twitter.com/eI0AlvJWag – 8:16 PM

Nothing about the actual facts of the Dame situation from any side (he wants to be traded to Miami, Blazers don’t love Miami’s stuff, no other team has blown them away) has actually changed since July 1. It’s just the same stuff relitigated over and over again out of boredom. – 1:06 PM

ICYMI – @wcgoldberg stopped by @TheGardenReport & called Porzingis a “problem for the Heat”
We also talked about the latest on Lillard, what Miami looks like with/without him & whether #Celtics are faves.

Regarding the #Bulls-Lillard rumors, don’t get your hopes up. If Lillard had 2 years left on his deal, maybe you think about offering LaVine and seeing what happens.
But Lillard has 4 yrs left, same as LaVine, & is owed $38 million more than LaVine, including $63.2 mil in ’26-27 – 8:25 PM

More on this storyline
Outside Phoenix, Ayton is viewed as an enticing piece who could help facilitate a Lillard trade. Sources in Portland confirmed that Deandre Ayton’s name has come up multiple times over the last few weeks, and PHNX Sports reported last year that the Blazers had interest in the Suns big man. DA only turned 25 years old over the summer, and Portland believes he’d be sellable to the fanbase as a young, former first overall pick with room to grow in the right change of scenery. The Suns have not been actively shopping Ayton in any way, shape or form, but they have listened to offers to do their due diligence. No one would fault Phoenix for being perfectly content entering the season with DA as their starting center, but talks between the Suns, Blazers and Heat have intensified over the last day or so. -via gophnx.com / September 21, 2023
One source described Lillard’s attempt to force his way to Miami as Kevin Durant’s trade to the Suns all over again. But the Heat don’t want to wait until midseason to land Lillard, so as inevitable as his arrival in South Beach may feel, a source described Miami as “desperate” to get Dame now. The Heat have contacted numerous teams around the league to help facilitate a deal, knowing their current offer for Lillard is subpar. They need to involve a third or even fourth party in order to get over the hump. -via gophnx.com / September 21, 2023
