Suns GM McDonough says team will consider offers for No. 1 pick

While the debate rages over whether the Phoenix Suns should select Arizona big man DeAndre Ayton or Real Madrid sensation Luka Doncic with the first overall pick in the upcoming draft, general manager Ryan McDonough is considering all scenarios, including listening to trade offers for the pick.

"We're certainly open to that. We'll consider it." McDonough told Adrian Wojnarowski during ESPN's draft combine coverage, per Rob Lopez of Def Pen Sports. "I think we'll have more information closer to the draft than we do today after we go through the workout process and interview process. We're open to that. I think if you look around the NBA, as far as the veteran players, there are probably a few we'd consider trading the pick for, outright, just pick for player."

McDonough also pushed back on the narrative that Phoenix is looking strictly at Ayton and Doncic, while specifically mentioning the team's meeting with Marvin Bagley III.

"I think people are jumping to conclusions as far as there are maybe only one or two guys in the mix for us," McDonough said. "There are more than that, Woj. There are a handful of guys. We met with Marvin Bagley this week here in Chicago. I like Deandre Ayton. Luka Doncic is actually playing right now in the EuroLeague Final Four. He has strong ties to our head coach and is one of the top young European players I've ever seen and I've ever scouted. And then there are guys like Mohamed Bamba and Michael Porter Jr."

The Suns will be looking to add a third foundational piece to their core of Devin Booker and Josh Jackson when the draft rolls around on June 21.
