Some Plowden highlights.

Ayton might work out for the Lakers. He will be on a talented team with several good playmakers and good defenders, so Ayton won't be relied upon to anchor an offense or to cover for poor defensive teammates. In the right circumstances, Ayton can still be an effective piece if he wants to be ...

It's amazing how this FO - mainly Ishbia and Bartelstein - got completely worked over on the KD/Beal transactions. Seeing Beal get his money and choose a contender to play for must really bite. Hopefully they learned their lesson, but I guess we'll see. The lesson Ishbia has learned is that he ...

The problem isn't really about Williams as a player. He seems pretty good actually. It's more about the situation and asset management. We are already over the 2nd apron, and we have almost no usable or tradeable draft picks left for years to come. So we trade 2 of them for a 1-year rental of a ...

The Dame buyout makes me think we are about to buy out Beal. Because it shows our FO that that is a thing that teams do, that it is normal to pay a guy $100m to go away. I won't be happy if we buy him out, but I guess it will provide closure if nothing else. Pretty shocking that we will have traded ...

I read that our FO actually could have taken Whitmore but wanted what we got (specifically all the 2nd round picks) more. Was that a good choice?

Cam Whitmore to WAS for two 2nds. We sure we wanted those 2nds instead of him?

I realize that Sidery is a trash source. But regardless I do think Melton would be useful with his effort and defense.

Yeah the 2024-25 Suns could be studied in a lab to understand team chemistry and roster dysfunction. You look at those offensive numbers and wonder how a team that gifted could end up with such a bad record. But watch one game and the eye test says it all. They didn't care, didn't try, didn't hustle ...

Imagine having $100 million and being a world-class athlete and choosing to spend your time clapping back at random nobodies on Twitter.

I like Grayson Allen. But if we are keeping Green, I don't think we have room for him. And he's probably our most tradeable asset right now and could net us a pick and some cap savings. I personally would rather trade Grayson than Royce because Grayson is a worse defender and can't as easily play ...

Probably a bit of masturbayton'.

Grayson Allen in particular needs to go IMO.

I would hope not! Otherwise, we'll have to change the website to Ayton.net and most of us ( :P ) don't want that. I decided to check http://ayton.net/ , and it is already taken. Not for DA, but for some painter and artist named William T Ayton. It says he's a visiting artist at ASU! Small world.

How is Maluach at defense and rebounding? I have seen brief comments saying he's good at protecting the paint, but I haven't seen many clips of it. Is he a good defender? I'm glad he can hit 3s, but if he can't defend the interior or secure a board he will be less useful to us.

Thanks, guys. She had successful surgery a couple weeks ago now. She had a Greek doc named Dogeus and he was excellent. He was elated coming out of surgery that it had gone so well. She even got a bonus gall bladder removal as he found a large stone in it and apparently, we don't need gall bladders ...

You're supposed to pass after the first two puffs.

Denver just traded Dario Saric to get Jonas V, right? I wonder if they'd be frustrated if he just immediately bails on the NBA. Or maybe it was a salary dump trade for them anyway? I would have assumed that they wanted Jonas V behind Jokic as their primary backup center.

Honestly, I'm optimistic about Jalen Green. Athletic, runs the floor well, his defense has improved since he got to the league, seems like a good teammate. I agree his shot selection could be questionable at times, but even that I see improving over his career. I think this could be the right ...
