100% that you're getting to pick someones avatar lol.
100%. But it's not as unreasonable of a prediction as you all try to make it seem. If they would have traded Grant, like I expected them to do, there would have been a path for it to happen. IIRC the criteria we set was 42 games played.
EDIT: Just looked it up (for reference, it's on page 168 ), and it was 41 games. The bet actually gets thrown out, though, if Ayton plays 1 or fewer games the rest of the season.

Whatever you have to do to make yourself feel better lol.. I kid I kid
I don't have anything to add to anything, I just want to be present for the miracle that is the 100th page of this seemingly unkillable comment thread.
Repeat the above, substitute "150th" in the appropriate spot. Thanks.
We'll see you at 200!
I don't have anything to add to anything, except:
I Dont wanna be here
And neither did DA.
250?? You’re kidding me.
HOW DOES THIS THREAD NOT DIE??!??!??
He’s 5th in scoring on the team…he’s close to Sharpe and Brogdon, but well behind Simons and Grant
He’s averaged 19 ppg over his last 12 games. If he keeps trending in the direction he has been, he’ll get closer to Simons. But I’m saying if they had traded Grant when he was eligible to be traded (before hitting 41 games), Ayton could have gotten a lot more touches.

Lol the poor guy is just over there choking and nobody cares.
On a semi-related note, today is my step-grandmother's 98th birthday--I talked to her on the phone and she's still extremely sharp...sharper than either of the two major party candidates for president.

The bet actually gets thrown out, though, if Ayton plays 1 or fewer games the rest of the season.
And now he's out with an injury. I knew I shouldn't have posted that. I would much rather display a Nurkic avatar all summer than have Ayton get a season ending injury. Hopefully it's nothing too serious.

Ayton scored 33 points with 19 rebounds Monday night to help lead the Blazers to a 106-102 win over the Atlanta Hawks at the Moda Center. This came after he put up 22 and 15 during Monday night’s loss to the Boston Celtics to follow up a 30-and-19 performance in Saturday’s win over the Toronto Raptors.
