Man could you imagine the nut punch that would be to Cuban? Wouldn’t be the first time a guy has bailed on him for us

[JeremyG]

They really gonna sign and trade Kyrie for Ayton in the offseason huh??

Lol Mavs have no leverage. It would be CP3.

[JeremyG]

Why not today? We still have 4 hours.

All he has to do is say he’s sitting out the rest of the season.

[Split T]

Lol

[Split T]

Also we definitely signed Okogie in case we traded Mikal for KD didn’t we?

[JeremyG]

GET READY FOR CP3 FOR DAME TODAY!!!

(Hey it worked for Wally)

[djy2j]

Is Bubble TJ Warren still a thing?

He looked good in the 4th yesterday

He's the SF version of Dario right now as in he looks good on offense, slower than usual on defense.

[JeremyG]

See, it was Monty.

[djy2j]

[Split T]

Thank goodness…I couldn’t stomach Mikal in Memphis

[JeremyG]

It’s crazy how half of our top 6 from last season is gone.

It’s crazy how half of our top 6 from last season is gone.

Not surprising seeming how the season ended. Surprising it took this long for a shake up.

[The Bobster]

Players remaining from game 6 of the 2021 Finals -

Deandre Ayton
Devin Booker
Torrey Craig (traded and brought back)
Chris Paul
Cameron Payne
Dario Saric (injured earlier in the Finals)

[Shabazz]

What would it take to get Jalen McDaniels?

Would have been great. He just got moved. Bummer.

[Flagrant Fowl]

Can we throw in a couple 2nd rounders for JaeSean Tate?

[Split T]

Dario/Craig/Shamet for Tate/Gordon…How many 2nds would that cost?

[INFORMER]

Don’t need Siakam anymore…

Agreed. I don't think he would make sense to group with KD/Book and Co. even if it were possible.

[Split T]

Ayton for OG would make some sense to get the Mikal player back…but we wouldn’t have a way to get a starting 5. That one is tricky. And of course Toronto wouldn’t do that anymore.

[INFORMER]

I think having KD now too will build up Aytons focus. But Ayton is going to feast inside provided we have a 3 and D guy who the defenses wont slack off.

We'll see. Everyone though CP3's arrival was going to make Ayton so much better; it hasn't. People got caught up in the CP3 hype and legend, but didn't actually pay attention to the actual basketball elements: it meant the minimizing of Ayton's post opportunities, and turned him into a glorified screen-setter.

We've seen great play from Ayton the last couple of weeks, but it has been with him being a featured element of the offense. That won't continue with Durant. Maybe him and Durant can develop a 2-man game, but on the surface, it is hard to imagine Ayton being a significant factor on offense with Book and Durant cooking.
