He looks happy…think he needed this. Contrary to what some might think, I hope he does well. I hope I have to be representing that Ayton avi all offseason next year. Good luck Deandre!
Just watching that video, along with what he says about being drafted, it seems like he hasn't felt wanted in five years.

What a fucking clown loser. What other player in the league refers to themselves in the third person with their self proclaimed nickname?
Karl Malone?

His goal should be to surpass the franchise status of #22. ;)
His goal should be not to be thought of as #2 💩

Don't worry, you're the only one who thinks of him as that.

DA being as happy as he is in that video should tell everyone everything they need to know about his mentality and what's most important to him.

I felt the same way initially, but then it hit me, that this is just a hype video to pump up expectations and the team probably asked him to do it… heck, the Suns once got Goran Dragic to chase people around with a dinasour!!

Dominayton was not meant to happen here, but hopefully Portland fans got on him some relief to look forward, remember, Ayton is the main piece coming from their Lillard trade (is unlikely that Holiday stays there or net them something better that DeAndre). If we are mourning that Nurkic is replacing Ayton, just think how it would be to receive Ayton for Lillard!!!

Ayton is gone, we need to let him go as well.

Pretty wild that Booker is now the last remaining player from the 2021 Finals squad. So much has changed over the last 2+ years, but I’m just as excited for the season to start as I have ever been.

Ya he was exposing himself to the team therapist, right? Hope he got some help as that seems like some issues he needs to work through. Was looking like a good player though.

The league just put out a statement a few hours ago that was suspended for 4 games over that conduct, which seemed odd given he wasn't on a team. So all of this lines up now.

I can still hear him saying, in his Slovenian accent, “Baby T!” (to the T-Rex) :lol:

If only Ayton's game matched the hype coming out of his mouth. He'd probably still be on the Suns if that were the case.

Would you guys be in favor of swapping Grayson Allen for T.J. McConnell? Love him or hate him, Allen has some game and has been a reliable 3-point shooter over the course of his career.

I do think McConnell offers a better emergency starting PG than Goodwin offers, maybe based on that I'd probably prefer him to Allen. Allen could offer more long term if the Suns wanted to extend either of them being 5 years younger though.
