Deandre Ayton returns to Phoenix for the first regular season game since he was traded to the Blazers. It is also an in-season tournament game. The Suns have won three straight since Devin Booker returned to the lineup while the Blazers have been struggling, having lost seven games in a row.

I’m somewhere between “Fuck Ayton, I hope he’s booed.” Or watching Book dap him up professionally and then cordially both he KD put him on several posters whipping the snot out of him.

I care as much about Ayton as I do other opponent role players. He's just there.

There's absolutely no reason the Suns should lose this game.

Excuse me while I smash my head into a wall.

I don’t think he should be booed. I just want to see the Suns go about their business and crush them. No relaxing. No letting them hang around.

Some people will boo, some will cheer. If I were there, I'd be trying to analyze Brad Beal's body language.

I see no reason to boo him now that he’s in another uniform. We need to win by 20

If I was in the arena, I’d give him two claps, no more, no less.

He doesn’t deserve to be booed. Only great players get booed. Great he was not.

It’s kind of hard to posterize someone who doesn’t try to challenge you at the rim.

I'm just meh about him.... Wouldn't boo him but wouldn't cheer him either. Definitely wouldn't put him in the ROH.

I don't think there's any reason to boo him, and he was a central figure in one of the greatest plays in Suns history (in my opinion) and a key player in a finals run. It just didn't work out and there's probably some blame to find on both ends. We got a good return on him, he hasn't really bad-mouthed the organization... to me it's all good.

I thought we’d learn more about our chances at making the in-season tournament today, but the only other game that impacts us is the Lakers-Jazz game. We will have to wait until Friday for more games. Also we will finish our games before a few of the teams we’ll be competing against have their final game. I was hoping we could go into our last game knowing how many points we need to beat Memphis by.

DA was a main reason we made it to the finals in 2021.

Nothing to boo anymore, his albatross contract doesn’t weigh on us now

A respectful, appreciative cheer would be deserved but not some extended ceremonial applause.

Who has the better stat line: Ayton or Nurk?

What about Camara vs. Little, is that another one to look for?

So funny the complete 180 of my opinion of Allen lol

Always understood why we wanted him but just always fucking hated him, to now I’m so happy we have him and hope we lock him up after this season. Wouldn’t even mind paying extra to keep him. Perfect role player on this team.
