Fun fact about “Fancy”: It hit #1 on release in 2014. Even before electing Trump, this country was making some inexplicable choices.

Has Gambo ever been this wishy-washy before? What’s gotten into him lately? Lol.

Why’s this in the Ayton thread?

Anything to get to 200, I guess.
Because it comes on the heels of him having to backtrack on his Dame trade reporting. What’s next? Backtracking on the Suns wanting Nurkic over Ayton?

He never backtracked…he said probably in the next 24 hours. He never said it would be in the next 24 hours.

It was clearly not “imminent.” Woj was right. Gambo was wrong.

I think you’re missing the point. If Dame gets traded tomorrow and Ayton for Nurkic is part of it, what would you say about Gambo? To me whether it happens or not is what matters, not whether it takes a couple extra days.

This thread is just like Deandre. Prolific counting stats and none of us are better for it.

And we’re all getting rickrolled down the stretch.

I leave for a while biding my time until the preseason begins thinking our roster is pretty set as is currently constructed. And then come back only to find Ayton rumors are exploding again!

While I do understand the frustration with Ayton and his contract, and do really like the idea of McConnell and Caleb Martin for depth pieces, I'm really not excited or in favor of Nurkic for Ayton unless Nurkic can be moved elsewhere for a better center option hopefully? Nurkics' durability and mobility issues as well as his 18 million next season seem a bit risky to me. And I definitely consider him a downgrade to Ayton in terms of defensive versatility too. But I'll be patient and see what the full value exchange might become? :|

What’s the over/under on the trade happening still?

If ayton is sent out…. It better improve us.

I think it'll improve team morale, does that count?

Am I assuming the morale was improved because we're winning games?
