Portland acquires Deandre Ayton in trade with Phoenix
The Portland Trail Blazers have acquired center Deandre Ayton on Wednesday.
What It Means:
After a turbulent end with the Suns, Ayton will seek a new start with the Trail Blazers.
Expect the 25-year old to start at center and potentially retain similar offensive metrics from last season including a 22.9% usage rate in 67 appearances.
