Re: All Things Ayton

Race to 200 haha.

Trying not to care too much about Ayton but right now he's looking more like Joe Barry Carroll than David Robinson. WTF is up with him? He has a golden opportunity and he's letting it slip through his fingers.

If I end up being wrong about him, so be it.

Re: Game Day: Suns (0-0) @ Warriors (0-0), Tues 10/24/23

The Suns are thankfully built to withstand the loss of either Booker or Beal for a long stretch of time. Having both Grayson Allen and Eric Gordon is a really nice insurance policy. Of course, I'd love to see Beal back sooner rather than later, but why mess with a back injury.

Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

Williams won't play much, he's been an injury risk and will remain one. Boston didn't lose much in him if you listen to their fans. Having slept a few nights on it, I think the Ayton-Nurkic swap might have been a good deal for Portland and an ok deal for the Suns. I think that Ayton will get closer ...

Re: All Things Ayton

If you're right, then that will mean I was wrong about him being able to reach another level. But even if that's the case, I still would have kept him instead of making the team worse. This will be really funny when he averages 18/11 on worse shooting splits and the same minutes and we win the cham...

Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

No use drying over spilled milk, been reading scouting reports on Nurkic. When healthy, he is a good to great rebounder and interior defender. On offense, he is a great screener and potentially a good three point shooter. He is going to be virtually unplayable in the playoffs unless facing a simila...

Re: TRADE: Ayton/Camara for Nurkic/Allen/Little/Johnson

I think this is a garbage trade that will hurt the team come playoff time. I would like to ragequit but you know that I won't -- not after close to 40 years of heartbreak.

Disappointing nevertheless.

I don’t believe the Suns have any shot at landing OG Anunoby.
Then, no deal. Nurkic doesn't play in the playoffs. Regardless whether you get 2021 or 2023 Ayton, you're still down a starting center.

Re: All Things Ayton

I am still blown away at how many people think an Ayton for Nurkic trade would be anything but a massive downgrade at the center position. The excuses being thrown around are flimsier than some of Jeremy's arguments propping up Ayton. And...even if we get OG back, is even him a big enough upgrade to...
