I thought they stopped taking these in junior high:

Obviously this is ridiculous to me, Booker and Paul work their ass off and it doesn't motivate Ayton? Gimme a break.

It's like the 8th story of Ayton realizing how hard the stars in the league work. He's been around long enough that these "light bulb" moments elicit more of an eye-roll from me than any hopeful feelings.

When it comes to Ayton quotes, my eyes rolled out of my head quite a while ago.

Most stars do not go anywhere near as hard as KD in their workouts. Monty’s been talking about it ever since the trade.

Is there any situation where we can bring back Cam Johnson? I know he's a free agent and would love to have him back if possible. I think his contract situation isn't going to require to pay him max money from what I've been reading but being restricted would require a sign and trade and don't see that happening.

Sign and trade would hard cap us. We’d probably need to waive Paul to do it. We also don’t really have a contract to match salaries. So I think it’s incredibly unlikely.

Players don't often want to take a pay cut to go back to a team that ditched them.

Dude. I think they understand. It was for Kevin Freaking Durant!

True, not typically... but I'd like to think our team was something special and they seemed to have a really cool bond together.

Convince him to sign for Shamet's salary and convince Brooklyn to take Shamet back. :P

We have no assets to offer BKN in a sign and trade. They have all our assets

We can promise to bring McD and Watson back when Durant’s contract is up to improve the value of those 26 and 28 first rounders …
