NBA Trades: 5 potential suitors for Deandre Ayton and the Phoenix Suns

NBA Trades: 5 Deandre Ayton suitors for Phoenix Suns: 4. Utah Jazz

Entering an essential offseason, the Utah Jazz are expected to reshape the core of the roster after another season of failed expectations. If the Jazz part ways with All-Star center Rudy Gobert, which seems like a real possibility at this point, Deandre Ayton would be a buzzing replacement.

Utah is already facing drama this summer with coach Quin Snyder stepping down and the futures of Gobert and fellow star Donovan Mitchell remain unclear. The organization could be approaching the reset button and may pursue a new star piece to build around.

As a young, effective center with still much room for growth, Ayton would be the ideal center to pursue if the Jazz want to explore a different direction moving forward. Trading Gobert would certainly return coveted assets that could be used to lure Ayton away or Gobert could be used in a sign-and-trade deal to land him.

Although, the Suns would likely have to attach more assets to Ayton in any deal that would land All-Defensive center Rudy Gobert in exchange. It would be a blockbuster swap that would shake up the league, but also a trade that benefits both franchises. Deandre Ayton would be a glorious addition to the Utah Jazz if the organization trends toward a different direction this summer.
