My gut tells me that the Ayton for Nurk trade has a 60% chance of 100% happening. So better start mentally preparing.


Sharp would be cool but I’m really hoping for Dick from the raptors tho.
Looks like I was right

I don’t know, it seems inevitable to me…I just worry about the return. I’m preparing for it to be something like Nurkic and Little or someone on that level.
I know you want Ayton gone, but you’re misreading the situation.

The Suns are not shopping Ayton. They are not looking to trade him. Portland highly covets Ayton and wants him included in a Dame deal. The Suns are simply telling Portland that this is going nowhere if you don’t include Sharpe (as an example, per Flex).

They are not going to trade Ayton just to get rid of him. There is no reason to think that anything has changed in this regard from July. In fact, the opposite is likely true: the Suns value him even more after the Bahamas tournament.
This didn't age well. :P

Typically, where there's smoke there's fire. And the Suns easily could've put word out to Gambo or just released a statement saying they weren't trading DA and that he's part of the core. The Gambo tweets were them preparing us for this.

Yep. As soon as Gambo started pushing this, my heart sunk. Knew there was probably some truth to it. The dude (Gambo) prevails.

You've seen my frustration during the years. But I had finally come around to believing Jones and wanting to see what Vogel could do with him and then WHAMMO!

You and I both... I was extremely done with him after last post season and his ho hum play. I was bought into Vogel fixing him... but I guess that doesn't matter.

I think Ayton needs the freedom to roam like in HS and college, just go out and play his game his way, square peg round hole fit here. Never gonna get that freedom when you've got 3 all stars in front of you needing shots.

I don't wish ill on DA but I hope the Blazers win 25 games while playing shitty, disorganized basketball under Billups so DA gets a full view of how good he had it here. But it's more likely he's happy being the focus of the offense, puts up 24 and 8 with no accountability from Billups and tells everyone he's playing like an All-Star.

That's what scared us all from the beginning. Before he had played a single NBA game. Turned out to be for good reason.
