Since it was revealed that the Suns were unwilling to offer Ayton a maximum salary contract, this powerful insider has received offers from many teams, including the Toronto Raptors .
The Raptors have always favored tall, pure inside players. From Valanciunas to Gasol , this is the case, especially when Gasol joined hands with Leonard to win the team's first championship in team history. Let the Raptors taste the sweetness.
However, the Raptors currently have Siakam, Boucher , Thaddeus Young , etc. inside, but they are all power forwards with good flexibility and mobility, but if they want to withstand the "Emperor" Strong centers like Embiid are still struggling. In the playoffs last season, Embiid almost single-handedly destroyed the Raptors inside, which made the management more determined to find an excellent center.
As a result, the Raptors have become one of Ayton's potential suitors. They have the ability to offer Ayton a maximum salary contract, but they can only sign first and then trade. The styles of Thaddeus Young and Boucher are relatively similar. Good for the Suns.

It is worth mentioning that because they are located in Canada, far outside the United States, the Raptors' team building idea has always been to use international players, such as Gasol, Valanciunas, Ibaka , Siakam, etc. are not American players, and Ayton is from the Bahamas and can easily be integrated into the Raptors.
