All Things Ayton

[Kryptonic]

Articles says he's been with the pornstar for 4 years now. How old is his son?

His son is two. As someone posted from another source, he's been off-and-on with his son's mother for awhile. Katt is more like the side chick who's now official. (I assume there was likely some overlap between the two lol and that she's at least part of the reason for the breakup, but those are just assumptions.)

Stalk much?

Not at all. I couldn't care less about his romantic life. Notice I posted what I read on this forum plus my pure speculation about his infidelity based off that article I came across.

The "jokes" about my supposed "obsession" or "stalkerism" are not funny and are getting old. Grow up guys.

Honestly man I wish you know offense but I hope that you can have a sense of humor over being his number one fan. You own all the stock on Ayton here and I will be happy if you can cash it in if he does something excellent.

Exactly... It's all meant in joking manner. Lighten up.

[In2ition]

I'll be honest, I find the obsession jokes directed at Jeremy to be tiresome too. He's an easy target, so it just comes off as bullying and piling on. I would hope we'd all be better than that.

[Split T]

I agree, he likes Ayton, he believes in Ayton and he makes that known. Most of us disagree. It doesn’t need to be more than that.

I think he’s wrong about Ayton…but that’s the beauty of sports. It’s not that important, we can disagree and it doesn’t have to be personal. We’re all right at times and we’re also wrong at times.

We're all friends here, and a little bit of ball-busting is fine. It's okay to tease me and say I'm a closet Warriors fan. It's okay to make fun of Dusty / LazarusLong for being a hundred years old. It's okay to tease specialsauce about his chronically impotent micropenis. It's okay to goof a bit on JeremyG for his enthusiastic support for Ayton. You get the idea.

But sometimes I think folks pile on too much. And when the jokes get too far into erotic, homophobic, stalkerish territory, I think it can be hurtful. I don't think it's gotten completely out of line, but I do think it'd be a bad thing to make somebody feel disliked or unwelcome. I love having JeremyG here, and honestly it's good to have some push-and-pull about our players in the threads here.

That’s not what your mom calls it

Predicting NBA's Top 30 Bigs for 2023-24 Season
https://bleacherreport.com/articles/100 ... -24-season

Remember this is for all bigs, not just centers.

Ranked below Ayton (#14) are all of the centers that people said they would rather have, earlier this summer:

16. Myles Turner
17. Rudy Gobert

19. Jarrett Allen

22. Brook Lopez

27. Robert Williams
29. Nic Claxton
30. Kevon Looney

And under "Honorable Mentions": Jakob Poeltl, Ivica Zubac, Clint Capela, Wendell Carter Jr.

I remember being told that Carter Jr. is a better player than Ayton, and he doesn't even get into their top 30.

It's not all about sheer talent. There's questions of fit, salary (and what can be done with the difference) and role that need to be considered when building a team.

For the way our team is constructed, I'd be willing to take a slightly "worse" player than Ayton on paper if he was a better defender and if the trade meant we could add a reliable rotation piece that would make up for some of the talent gap.

[Split T]

WCJ not being top 30 just shows how bogus the list is…It’s also a prediction, not an indication of where they are. I hope Ayton is the 14th best big this year. If he is and we stay healthy, we will win the title.

Do you have a reading comprehension problem bro or do you just intentionally stir the pot? Nobody said these players are better than Ayton. They said they’re either better fits or better value and that’s pretty much indisputable

Lay off him, Sauce. It's gone far enough and you're nitpicking.

Chill dude. I’m not talking about anything but sports and I haven’t been one to have said anything about personal lives and beyond. If you can’t take the heat then don’t tickle the dragon. If you’re scared of contact stay out the paint.

OBSESSION

Look at it this way, if Ayton does take off, Jeremy gets uber bragging rights.

(Hmmm, for future planning purposes...Jeremy, what is your shoe size? )

I think it's just easier if I mute you at this point. It's been real.

[Wally_West]

I don’t got a problem with Ayton banging some porn stars, pretty common in the NBA. KD was with Lana Rhoades, Booker led a train on some instagram thot before the bubble.

Zion just had some back luck and picked a crazy person.

Anyways, that list has Sabonis ahead of Ayton, which reminds me how we tried to trade Ayton for him. Always wondered why that deal fell through.

If I could do a player-for-player swap, totally ignoring the salary cap and trade restrictions on salary matching, I'd honestly trade Ayton for a lot of those guys. Chet, Sengun, Brook Lopez, Looney, Wembanyama, Myles Turner, all are ranked worse than Ayton but I'd take them given their lower salaries.

No, there are definitely people on here who think that WCJ is a better player than Ayton. They said so a couple months ago.

EDIT: Here you go:

Ya I don’t believe any of them…WCJ is better than Ayton. I trust Gambo, he’s been very accurate since Ishbia took over. The Boston one comes from some flex wannabe, so I don’t believe that either.

We’ll see what happens.

WCJ is a better basketball player than Ayton. I don't need stats. I have eyeballs.

[Kryptonic]

[Split T]

WCJ was better than Ayton last year. I don’t even think that’s a hot take. Ayton wasn’t good last year. Now Ayton has been better in the past than WCJ and very likely could be again this year, so I don’t have a problem ranking Ayton higher, but I think they are close.

[Flagrant Fowl]

WCJ had the better season and has more skills than Ayton.
