If anyone wants to move up a couple spots I’d be willing to slide down. I’m picking 3rd currently.

We haven’t exercised our team options on Cam Johnson or Jalen Smith yet either, should we be worried? It's laughable that this is even being brought up to try and make a point that people are overreacting. I think far too many people on here undervalue Ayton and that's a shame. It’s about overreact...

This is good stuff. I’m ready for the in season stuff, I’m done with offseason talk, let’s go!

Ya I was high on Terry, was even willing to take him at 10. I wonder if he’s just too small to hold up?

You just seem so sure we’re lowballing him. Anyways I should stop commenting, I said I wasn’t going to worry about it until after the deadline passes and I keep clearly worrying about.

C’mon, we’re clearly not lowballing him like this.

Haha, yes that’s what I’m hoping. He’ll still need to do some work after taking the escalators to get to the top.

Good thread on the Ayton extension. I’d be ok with a max deal under these circumstances. Still includes escalators, but not full escalators. 5th year only guaranteed if he reaches certain milestones.

I still believe this:

I wouldn't say that Ayton seemed uninterested, just that he didn't play with energy/force/intensity in some games. I still think part of it is physical, and Monty rested him the last three games in the regular season which seemed to help a lot, plus the rest between series always seemed to help. He...

No, I don’t have specific things to back up my claim, but early in the season Dario Saric was leading the nba in net rating. We were better when Ayton went off the floor…and even for thr season, while we were quite good with Ayton on the floor, we were actually better overall with him on the bench. ...

Bridges has been more consistent, but Bridges has never played even close to as well in a big situation as Ayton did during this past season's playoff run. If Bridges had ever been as impactful and dominant as Ayton was during that run, it might be different. But Bridges seems to be showing that he...

What if Bridges and Ayton are both asking for the max? How do we navigate that? In that sense we may need to let it play out and sign them next offseason. Serious question for most here. Does Bridges deserve a max and Ayton doesn't? I feel Ayton has proven and shown far more consistency than Bridge...

I’ll wait till 10/19 to draw any conclusions about Sarver

I don't think the Sixers should play Simmons. He's going to dog it like Harden did, and then his trade value will drop. I think they should sit him and just wait for the best trade to come along. The guy has said he'll never play there again, he's got his house for sale. You have to trade him. I kn...
