The only reason I'm even bothering to wonder if this Ayton thing is real at all is that I have an intuitive sense that whatever conversation started these rumors likely began as a Crowder conversation, which leads me to the thought that it might have been Phoenix who brought Ayton's name into it, not the other way around. Could be similar to when they were in the right place/right time (or wrong, I guess, based on how it turned out) to snag Porzingis because they happened to already be negotiating for Hardaway.
