All Things Ayton

[specialsauce]

Lol, he could be a 20 ppg scorer without changing anything about his game. He was literally an 18 ppg scorer. Just 3 more minutes per game would do it.

OK, 25 ppg and 15 boards per game. Play through contact and boxing out would accomplish both but not our problem anymore.

That hasn’t been done since 1976, but okay…

I think I’m starting to see why Ayton didn’t meet everyone’s (insane) level of expectations…

Persecution complex.

He didn’t want to do what we needed from him. We needed a dirt worker as Fitzsimmons used to call them.

Someone who’s going to bang down low, eat up space, a catalyst for the offense, someone who doesn’t need touches every game to be involved.

Now that’s even more insane than expecting 25 & 15. You don’t draft a player #1 overall just for them to be a dirt worker.

We needed someone who didn’t have a preconceived idea what their role should be. Ayton wanted different things than what this current team needed so it was time to move on for both parties. I’m sorry your favorite player got traded but it’s time to let go and move on like the organization has.

Time to move on? Lol, I’m not the one continuing to resurrect this thread every couple days with all this nonsense.

Hell, I’ll take 15. Forget the 25

He’s too much of a puss to say what he really thinks. He unfollowed book on ig.

[Mori Chu]

Book, to Ayton: I told him to send you my regards. I didn't say hi. Kramer took it upon himself to say hi to you for me, when in fact, it was an unauthorized hi.

[Drewsprocket]

If all he was working on was his 3 pt shot, then it was a good decision for him to do that elsewhere. That wasn't his biggest hole in his game, imo. Idk if it was even top 5. At this point, he's just a meme to me.

Dude could just worked on initiating and finishing through contact and could have been a 20 ppg scorer.

Wait I thought it was everyone else’s fault he didn’t meet your expectations?

Try not responding to the bait.

Yea, the irony is hilarious.

[JeremyG]

Oh I'm always gonna respond.

Dang, Ayton really sucked in last night's Suns/Blazers game! He was so passive and wimpy, and made so little impact on the game, it was almost like he wasn't out there at all.

LOL, this will still probably be said when he does actually play. What reason did he have to sit out? Bruised ribs again?

The last one made me laugh.

[Kryptonic]

I'm betting it's because he didn't want his big ol' feelings hurt from all the phoenix fans that would be booing his butt.

[ShelC]

Speaking of which

[Flagrant Fowl]

Tepid.

[TOO]

Tepid.

Matches his years of effort.

[ShelC]

I thought/think he deserves an appreciation cheer but not any kind of extended standing ovation. Maybe next time if/when there's an appreciation video during the regular season.

Yep, we appreciate what he did for us two years ago. The video should highlight the years leading up to and through that year ending with the Valley Oop.

[In2ition]

I'm not going to cheer or boo. I'm indifferent to him.
