The Portland Trail Blazers are looking to add a second star to play with Damian Lillard. The team won the No. 3 pick in this year's NBA Draft Tuesday, which opens the door for Portland to make a big move. Meanwhile, the Phoenix Suns are looking to shop center Deandre Ayton. Could the two sides find a deal?

Flex From Jersey, who is a Suns insider for FOX 10 Phoenix, reported the Trail Blazers have interest in Phoenix center Deandre Ayton and could be willing to discuss a trade centered around the No. 3 pick and additional pieces.

Ayton is perceived to be a trade asset for the Suns, who lost in six games to the Denver Nuggets in the Western Conference semifinals.

Phoenix is looking to build its team this offseason around superstars Devin Booker and Kevin Durant. The Suns fired coach Monty Williams Saturday and are looking for a new leader.

Owner Mat Ishbia is rumored to be running the team's basketball operations. The Suns fired a front office executive and two scouts in addition to Williams last weekend.

Ayton was the No. 1 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, but he has been criticized for his motor. The Suns' center is very athletic but he has not played with intensity fans have desired.
