I think it is important to consider PHX current spot on these trades (most have). PHX is probably in a 3-4 year window (If KD can stay healthy and at his current level of play) and they are void with assets making internal improvement very difficult. They also have a new owner who I am sure had grand plans. So any move to trade Ayton needs to be a clear upgrade to them. This will be difficult if Ayton does not play better, but I don't think new owner will be breaking out his spreadsheet with the goal of getting Howard Eisley.
