All Things Ayton

Or you could just rotate the combination of any of the two a given night and give the other two rest. We'd be ready to go with a healthy and well rested All Star team by the playoffs.

I don’t believe for a second that there’s anything real behind this Kyrie rumor. But, I will say: if there is any truth to it, I think it would strongly indicate that James Jones no longer has any real voice in the decisions being made by the Suns front office.

James Jones and Kyrie were teammates on the 2016 Cavs when they won the NBA Championship. Who's to say he's not part of the allure for Kyrie to want to meet with us? For all we know, they are friends.

2016 Kyrie is not Kyrie now. The current version that seems to enjoy creating an atmosphere of chaos wherever he goes seem antithetical to the type of player that Jones has usually spoken about trying to bring to Phoenix.

Hahaha you guys are getting it all wrong. It’s gonna be Ayton AND Kyrie. I can’t wait for that fanbase meltdown.

I don’t think i would have much loyalty to watching a Kyrie and KD duo. Something gets lost. It would leave an asterisk for me if they won anything in a Suns uniform. But I doubt I would meltdown. All things come and go in time. Jeremy you would find a way to experience Ayton doing everything.

That's Kendrick Perkins. It's his job to say stupid things so that people will react to what he says, and ESPN can then cover both the stupid thing and the reactions. Please don't take anything that he says seriously.

Doesn't matter. He's sitting next to Perkins. The same rule applies.

Ayton rooted in pot,
Jeremy waters and tends,
Napping, rebound missed

Lol. Still wrong. I pronounce my name with two syllables.

Well, for those w/odd pronunciations...just throw the G on the end...balances out. Got inspired while sitting here hoping to read about us signing a PG, or better flipping DA for Damien (not happening...)...worrying for some reason we flip DA for Kyrie (scary thought)...and felt a poetic moment was missing...

Hello everyone! This is my first post, so I'll try to contribute well to the discussions. I was wondering if playing Eubanks at the 4 alongside of Ayton might be beneficial for us having him play in a weakside defender role and roaming around the paint if Ayton is being used out on the perimeter primarily in drop coverage schemes?

Also this might also allow us to move Durant to the smal forward position to avoid having him play against the bigger, more physical forwards of the league reducing potential wear and tear and injury risks?

There once was a poet named Vlad
Whose haikus were really quite bad
And now we’re having fun
Making fun of this one
The best time we’ve recently had

Sorry, the official correct pronunciation is the one that Pearl Jam made famous.

Suns now have Big 3
But we pay four guys the max
Ayton go away

We have a Big 3 and a Big ? and not much else. That’s better than a Big 3 and not much else, so let’s hang on to the Big ? unless somebody offers us a really good package in trade.

I think Metu is more likely to share the court with Ayton than Eubanks. But I could be wrong.

Also this might also allow us to move Durant to the smal forward position to avoid having him play against the bigger, more physical forwards of the league reducing potential wear and tear and injury risks?

Well as things stand now, I think KBD will man the starting 4 spot, so yes Durant will be at the 3.
