Portland and Miami start talking again once Portland realizes no other offers, outside of Miami, are including draft compensation with the starter/bordering-star. Reality of the Dame market.

It's a little crappy for the Suns, but we are talking about the Phoenix Suns, LOL. JK, maybe

Phoenix flips a disgruntled big into a couple of playoff seasoned vets, even if they're overpaid. BTW, so is Ayton.

Nurk goes from PDX to PHX lifestyle and non-contender to contender, if healthy, he'll rock out.

Duncan continues the stroke he found in the playoffs, and goes to a team that won't only play him out of desperation(injuries). Plus MIA to PHX, not bad, he'll rock out.

Portland buys out Lowry at a maximum of $27M after allstar break. Portland's back under the tax with room for a multi year vets minimum buyout candidate.
