I don't understand why. It's just so easy to NOT OPEN THE THREAD. But I'm really glad I have some place to shit on Ayton, even more so now that he's on the Lakers. Every single single game he'll have and the Lakers lose because he was the last one to get back on defense will be cathartic for me.Vladimir_Taltos wrote: ↑Mon Oct 20, 2025 7:24 pmFor all that's Holy...this thing just won't die...won't go away...its a fungus amongus...burn it...torch it...for the love of Heave, JUST MAKE IT GO AWAYYYYYYY...

Re: All Things Ayton
He sucks. We potentially have 2 better centers, maybe even 3. Let's close this book and leave it shut.

Re: All Things Ayton
I hope he has a phenomenal contract year. I'm talking 25/10 kind of year. Then the Lakers will have no choice but to extend his sorry ass and get stuck.Furlanfufi wrote: ↑Mon Oct 20, 2025 11:26 pmI don't understand why. It's just so easy to NOT OPEN THE THREAD.

Re: All Things Ayton
I thought his impact was about the same as Jaxson Hayes. So yeah, not a great start. Didn't catch the ball well, didn't really assert himself on either end of the floor. Made a couple of nice little midrange shots off of easy setups. It was like a lot of games that we saw his last couple of years in Phoenix. Just one game in a new situation, obviously, but no immediate evidence that he's changed.iLLmatic wrote: ↑Tue Oct 21, 2025 9:36 pmIt’s not looking good so far.

Re: All Things Ayton
Probably find him on Lakers forums somewhere telling everyone how Ayton is a better center than Kareem, Wilt, and Shaq.

Re: All Things Ayton
Not sure what the reddit post was since it was removed but assume it was all about Aytons amazing Lakers performance. Couldn't be happier watching the two go down like the flaming turds that they are.

Re: All Things Ayton
Haven't seen him post in a while
Re: All Things Ayton
It is what it is. He used to sleepwalk to 18 and 10 when he had something to prove. He used to play hard for stretches when his coach and teammates held him to a high standard. Now all that's gone and he'll be 14/10-ish. Interested to see if they JJ or Luka/LeBron make a concerted effort to raise his effort and level of play.
Re: All Things Ayton
Ayton has only reached 18/10 twice in career and just barely at that. He's a 14/10 guy who was carried by the players around him. He's trash.ShelC wrote: ↑Wed Oct 22, 2025 10:40 amIt is what it is.

Which is a shame as he could be a 25/15 guy if he had any dawg in him at all. But only in contract years.

Re: All Things Ayton
Not sure if I've said it here or to friends in the past, but if you put Amare's heart and desire into Ayton's body and you have a perennial MVP candidate.

It's not like there isn't 6 years of history to see who he is. Lakers always just sign big name dudes and expect them to be someone they are. Marcus Smart too, he is washed up, looks awful.iLLmatic wrote: ↑Wed Oct 22, 2025 11:41 amLaker fans complaining about Ayton in a Reddit thread.

What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton
