[PHNX Sports] In any case, whether they’re gunning for Lillard or not, it’s worth noting that before the Raptors added Jakob Poeltl at the trade deadline, they were enamored with Ayton.

>Poeltl being sent to Phoenix as a lower-end, defensive-minded, cheaper replacement for Ayton would make some sense on paper, but the Suns would obviously require additional assets. The money doesn’t match up either, since DA earns $32.5 million this season and Poeltl will make $19.5 million.
>OG Anunoby is another player the Suns would love to get their hands on, but his trade value is much higher than Poeltl’s. Earlier this summer, the Raptors were getting offers for Anunoby similar to the one the Brooklyn Nets reportedly got for Mikal Bridges from the Memphis Grizzlies (four first-round picks).
>At this point, one source said offers for Anunoby have dwindled. Toronto has tried circling back to those previous offers, but teams are declining to meet that price. Perhaps that will open the door for discussions with Phoenix as part of a larger deal, but Ayton by himself likely wouldn’t be enough to get Anunoby, let alone Poeltl and Anunoby.

The whole Raptors part of this article makes no sense. 1 we were offered 3 firsts at the deadline for OG, not 4. 2 the reports all offseason have been pretty much all about trading Siakam not OG so I don’t know where they got this whole “Toronto is offering OG to teams and aren’t getting the same offers for OG” part. 3, Poeltl can’t be traded until December 15th. 4, the Suns physically cannot receive both OG and Poeltl back in a trade because they are past the 2nd apron and cannot receive anymore salary than they send out.

We have poeltl why do we need ayton

There’s no way we’re “enamoured” with Ayton. Interested? Possibly. Enamoured? That’s ridiculous blogboi talk.

I don’t believe the rumours about Ayton at all. We got a more team friendly guy in Jak.

Poeltl on the Suns would be perfect for them, ngl.

I would much rather have Poeltl particularly at their salaries. Like not even close.
