Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

No use drying over spilled milk, been reading scouting reports on Nurkic. When healthy, he is a good to great rebounder and interior defender. On offense, he is a great screener and potentially a good three point shooter. He is going to be virtually unplayable in the playoffs unless facing a similar...

Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

I think this is a garbage trade that will hurt the team come playoff time. I would like to ragequit but you know that I won't -- not after close to 40 years of heartbreak.

Disappointing nevertheless.

I don’t believe the Suns have any shot at landing OG Anunoby.
Then, no deal. Nurkic doesn't play in the playoffs. Regardless whether you get 2021 or 2023 Ayton, you're still down a starting center.

Re: All Things Ayton

I am still blown away at how many people think an Ayton for Nurkic trade would be anything but a massive downgrade at the center position. The excuses being thrown around are flimsier than some of Jeremy's arguments propping up Ayton. And...even if we get OG back, is even him a big enough upgrade to...

Re: All Things Ayton

I am finding it unbelievable that some of the folks who were most vocal about Ayton as a defensive liability on the perimeter are ok with Nurkic. From what I have seen and what Blazers fans are saying, he's pretty much unplayable in the playoffs because it would be too easy to have guards isolate o...

Re: All Things Ayton

Defend and rebound like a madman, score on putbacks, in an ideal world he would be an 18-18 guy or something ridiculous like this. More like a Bill Russell than anything else. The Suns don't have any other rebounders. But this is an admittedly far fetched scenario. But Ayton as a 15-15 DPOY candidat...

Re: USA Basketball

It's not hypocritical if JJJ and Ayton are doing very different things on the defensive end. That's why I asked if you watched the game. It's not like JJJ is playing in a drop every possession and watching the ball bounce all around him. In fact, it's the exact opposite of that role and outcome. St...

Re: USA Basketball

OK, so you're just box score watching and trusting a random on twitter, but that's good enough because of the "level"? If you're going to come in posting some snarky takes without context then you're just trolling. Just annoyed, really. All sorts of double standards being thrown around an...

Well, at least he wasn't collecting "empty stats."
That's one way to beat a narrative.
Oh, but his rebounding doesn't matter because he plays incredible defense.

JJJ is better than Ayton, and Ayton isn't in the same universe as Embiid in the post.
JJJ rebounds like a small forward.

Highly unlikely RHJ gets signed. OK, maybe a random 10-day.
A SF who can't hit 3's. A shame.
