Who’s got the odds on 2022 Ayton Goblin Mode vs Ayton Beastmode?

I'm happy for Deandre Ayton. I don't believe in him right now, but I hope he proves me wrong if he's on the Suns.

Think of all the Xbox Game Pass subscriptions he can buy now.

15 minutes, great to see the FO putting his money where their mouth was after that call to Gambo, specially given they probably are still thinking that was an overpayment to keep him. I fully understand those who were afraid about the offer going unmatched, is true that we never truly know what can happen in Phoenix.

Now, how long before someone start calling Ayton an albatross or similar? :D

I know it's all Suns related news stuff, but Gambo constantly playing the results triggers me and I also know it's a ridiculous reaction to have. :lol:

Think of the Suns matching that quickly as their way of thanking the Pacers for doing all the work for them.

It was definitely a message for Deandre, I think.

If this was James Jones' end game, it was indeed pretty clever. Not so sure about the relationship part of it though. Ayton is a good guy, so maybe it'll be water under the bridge.

As I said a few hours ago, I have no idea what to think anymore.

Hopefully the guy finally matures (the son experience did some magic on him, I’m sure he is not a lost cause) so we can move forward without a futuro trade watch. He is now a Sun and I will root for him to succeed and live up to his contract.

I don't think KD is dead. They didn't want DA anyway. There is still the possibility of that crazy 5 team trade turning into a 4 team trade w/o Indy.
I really hope it’s not. Running this team back ain’t cutting it.
I hope he's not dead either as a Weekend at Bernie's scenario wouldn't play out too well on the basketball court.

Hopefully so, and the entire team must work to patch the relationship. We know a Mikal’s tweet is coming, but Paul and Booker should do some endorsement and welcoming him back or similar.

Gambo says they want to keep Ayton as part of their core for the future!!!
Just like James Jones has always said.

If you're someone who really wants Ayton back with the Suns at any cost, I'd suggest not popping the champagne quite yet.

There are still a lot of dominoes to fall with KD.

I feel bad for not trusting James Jones. The one thing that did give me hope since draft night was his comments saying he wanted to keep DA. The man tells the truth.

I think it was really Sarver I didn't trust, though. :lol:

Yeah, they were just wondering what took so long!

That's all right. We have people here that can tell you.
