How will this move look if Denver goes on to win the title?

Unless Booker and KD lost faith in Monty's ability to lead the team, firing him is looking like an increasingly poor decision as each game passes and the potential candidates become less promising.

I feel like there's a pretty good chance he needs foot surgery and will miss a significant part of next season even if he doesn't choose to retire.

Thanks Split. I’ve moved on and should know better to engage. I’m out of patience to repeat myself.

It is, but they're dumb. They've long thought Ayton is something that he's not. They’ve seen first hand what he can be on a consistent basis given the opportunity. Take a look at his two games against them this season. Yeah, he played well against a shitty team. Cool. But how does a player devoid o...

That feels like a lot for Detroit to give up

OK, fine...

Phoenix - DeRozan, Duren, Bogdanovic
Detroit - Ayton, 2024 1st (CHI or PDX) - DET does not have a 2024 1st round pick
Chicago - Hayes, Shamet, #5

I don't know why I didn't think of this in my other Ayton trade possibilities, but Detroit makes a ton of sense. Duren, Bogdanovich and Burks for Ayton and Shamet - or something like that. I'd love to find a way to get Beef Stew also. Detroit already has 2 other centers, which complicates things, b...

Suns are still the best team Denver has played.

I never knew this was a thing, but it's hilarious.

NSFW audio.

Effort can't be coached.

Prediction, not a spoiler, about the ending.

I don't know how anyone can objectively watch Ayton and think there's something being left on the table. The guy can't dribble more than 2 times and definitely not when any half decent defender is around him. He struggles to even catch the ball at least twice a game.

Philly probably makes more sense than Boston given his history there even if it was before Morey's time.

I wonder where Monty factors in…does he coach next year somewhere?

Boston?

Am I the only one who doesn't want Brown? Something seems off, him and Tatum have no idea how to play off of each other, no clue how he'd exist with Book/KD. I think Brown is great, but the "three star" thing simply hasn't worked. One guy always has to become an elite-skill role player (B...

I also like Fultz's development trajectory, he's still adding things to his game. He just needs to stay healthy and he'll be one of the better PGs in due time. Ayton, on the other hand, has clearly plateaued from a skill development perspective, and I have serious doubts that he'll ever add somethin...

I don't think Jalen Brown is a realistic acquisition for the Suns. Marcus Smart is the guy I'd like to bring in if possible.

The Celtics would be dumb to overhaul their roster. They need a better coach.

They had one but he took a promotion.

If they knew about the Udoka stuff and still let Hardy get away... that's a colossal mistake.

It could've just been bad luck.
