Wonder why there hasnt been any Ayton promo material. Seems odd.
He's with his Bahamian brothers trying to qualify for the Olympics. Not that odd. I guess they could hire a photographer over there.
He was just shown having a puma photoshoot. Just seems odd to me to not have him in the new stuff
Love, Hurts.

Because it seemed like you were trying to make some sort of conspiracy theory out of it.

Maybe the team expects to be white hot on offense all the time.

I like the new Jerseys! They would have been cooler if the ball angle was same as old sunburst ones.

I love the jerseys although I think I have odd taste because I loved the turquoise jerseys too and I guess a lot of people don't like them?

I love my turquoise Booker jersey. I wear it often.
What is smallball? I play basketball. I'm not a regular big man. I can switch from the center to the guards. The game is evolving. I'd be dominAyton if the WNBA would let me in. - Ayton

Or I was just asking a question. I've made my peace with being stuck with him.

I just had a birthday recently and was given a Suns Barnes jersey. I was thinking, how long have you had this in your closet? They thought it would be a collectors item.

Wow. That’s pretty funny. I would have liked to see the look on your face when you opened it.

I literally LOL'd and almost injured my neck and shoulder on the couch reading this and imagining your thoughts and reaction opening this.

He was alright. He was definitely a journeyman basketball player.

Matt Barnes played for the Clippers in 2003-04, the Kings in 2004-05, the Knicks in 2005-06, the 76ers in 2005-06, the Warriors from 2006-07 to 2007-08, the Suns in 2008-09, the Magic in 2009-10, the Lakers from 2010-11 to 2011-12, the Clippers from 2012-13 to 2014-15, the Grizzlies in 2015-16, the Kings in 2016-17 and the Warriors in 2016-17.

The Eric Gordon thing seems to be a false report. This is the second official roster I’ve seen with him not on it.

I thought Barnes was exactly what we needed when we signed him in 08 but that season was kind of lost because of the Porter hiring. We never really found our footing but he was the kind of swing who should've done well with 7SOL. Toumani reminds me of him a bit from a physical standpoint. Barnes was a better ballhandler/shooter tho.

I remember one birthday where my aunt, who didn't know me very well, gave me a jersey. She said, "I heard you are a big Wildcats fan!" Except she didn't get me an Arizona Wildcats jersey. It was a bright blue *Kentucky* Wildcats jersey, the team that had just eliminated the U of A in the NCAA tournament that year. Thanks, Aunt Shelly.

Are you sure she didn’t know exactly what she was doing?? :lol:

I remember he had a brutal turnover at the end of the season that cost us a playoff spot.
