Re: All Things Ayton

Re: All Things Ayton

Since my post triggered all that, the reason dor me using x is simple. Nobody uses bsky here in Brazil, even when the supreme court illegally banned X for more than a month because they refused to secretly take down profiles. Grok is not the only AI capable of doing fake porn, and I hope this is ...

Re: All Things Ayton

It’s a sensitive topic for me, because here in the UK we have an increasingly authoritarian left wing government, the most unpopular of all time, with the least popular prime minister of all time, and he’s spent the last week trying to get Canada and Australia to all agree to ban X because he is get ...

Re: All Things Ayton

Sad to see so many people still using X. Yeahhhh, it's depressing. Bluesky has grown very well over the last couple of years. If people can't draw the line at child porn there is no line for them. Huh? You guys can't have your head in the sand that far right? X's Grok will basically create porn ...

If we're just talking about this season right now, then I agree I wouldn't swap Ayton for Sabonis .. in the upcoming off season it's a different story.

Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/7 - 2/13)

I disagree. In an ordinary year, sure it’s fine to weigh the value of the player vs. their salary. In a year when we are the best team in the league and Ayton is a key piece, where one of our top players is 37 and our window is not forever, I really can’t imagine any serious member of this team or a ...

Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/7 - 2/13)

I honestly can’t believe we are seriously discussing Ayton vs. Sabonis to the tune of nearly 20 posts. I assumed (apparently rightly so) that the racist comment was a joke so I won’t get into that. On the merits of these two players, maybe we need to look at the greater context. What is our goal in ...

Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/7 - 2/13)

Give me a break, it's a joke. It's quite appropriate in this instance as statistically Ayton and Sabonis are very similar - that one of them is potentially going to cost half the other but you prefer the more expensive one, it doesn't entirely add up. It may very well be the defence aspect that ...

And I really don't want to lose Johnson - his shooting is harder to find than big man defence, I think.

So defense doesn't count at all? Got it.
Everything counts - but not without considering the cost of paying for it.

Re: Suns News: Week 17 (2/7 - 2/13)

We're using points, rebounds and assists to determine a player's worth and value to a team? Points, rebounds, assists + $'s. Sabonis, McGee, Ayton when he was out and we were still winning; all signs pointing towards Ayton not being worth a max to us. This team to me (being untouchables, and good ...

Yeah I’m looking at his Sac stats .. it’s 3am in Sydney, I fell asleep for what I thought would be an hour at 6.30pm yesterday but woke up at midnight…TF for the internet. Anyway, the point remains that you don’t pay double for ayton what you would for Sabonis - 5.5 assists / 36 for the big man is ve ...

Racist!

Dude’s averaging 24, 15, 5 / 36 @ 22.2 PER

DA is 20, 13, 2 / 36 @ 22.5 PER

You don’t pay double for player number 2.

Knicks just beat the warriors even after a Curry mega highlight reel play on Randle.
