I can already hear it now, “they aren’t making Ayton the center piece of the offense”.

Also, I don’t think Chauncey is a good coach, so that’s not going to do Ayton any favors as well.

Re: All Things Ayton
It's time for a new edition of "Traaaade or noooo trade?????
Oct 7 Would you have done the Ayton trade?
Yes 50% No 50%
Oct 17 How does our roster compare before and after our most recent trade?
Downgraded + About the Same (No trade) 12% +12%
Upgraded (Out with Bruised ribs) 77%
Oct 27 Are you glad the Suns didn't have to send Portland extra compensation?
(Not actually proposing a Poll thread, neither to run it here either, and Hell NO in trying to contribute into getting this thing to 200, it's just plain fun posting)
Re: All Things Ayton
Through one game:
Nurk: 28 min, 14p/14r/3a/0s/1b, 1t/5f, 5-8 FG, +2
Domin: 23 min, 4p/12r/1a/3s/1b, 3t/5f, 2-4 FG, -5
That’s enough of a sample size, right? Debate over.

Re: All Things Ayton
Even if they fed him the ball he'd just jab step into 6 jump shots and maybe hit half of them.
So many people failed to accept how much the Suns catered to getting him involved and he still didn't DOMINAYTON nearly enough.

Hahaha good ole bruised ribs.

Re: All Things Ayton
Not properly “should be”, but bruised ribs, although not ideal, is not incapacitating either, specially considering that it was an elimination game, with teammates already banged up doing their best to stay on the court and keeping their playoffs chances alive.
Giving it a go and leaving the game would have been a better image, sitting out entirely basically buried the Suns’ chances and it wouldn’t surprise if someday we found out explicitly from one of the survivors from the purge, that this was where the camel’s back broke.

Re: All Things Ayton
So he had 5 fouls but drew none. Lolll
Re: All Things Ayton
Why won't Monty get Ayton the ball for Portland?!
Re: All Things Ayton
Zubac always gives DA trouble so nothing surprising there. Happened in the playoffs a bunch. 4 shots is a joke for a max player they traded for who was supposed to solidify the offense but again, given the roster and ball dominant, ISO perimeter players it's not surprising. DA and Williams won't work as a frontcourt and it's probably only a matter of time until Billups realizes Williams is the best fit at center with that group (if he hasn't already). Not a great situation for DA.
Re: All Things Ayton
1000% my sentiments. It will be KD breaking it at some point…. Ayton will run his mouth on something and KD will put him in his place.Aztec Sunsfan wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 11:37 pm

Yep, y'all are still obsessed with him. Even bringing back "SlamDunkleyKong" from Reddit I see.
