Utah, however, according to ArizonaSports would already have the shot in the arm to replace Gobert with another of the NBA’s top centers, DeAndre Ayton, has been in a breakup with Phoenix for several weeks. The Jazz would like to baste a sign and trade with the Suns and in recent weeks there had been several negotiations between Utah, Minnie itself and the Arizona franchise. The Jazz and T’Wolves moved independently but Phoenix could add a new chapter soon. The Suns, by the way, are one of the teams in pole position to get Durant himself.
