Cam has already far exceeded anything Zarko did in the NBA... well, except turnovers.

In2 gets it. My point was about Zarko never being the same after Danny Fortson upended him. So far, Cam hasn’t been the same since getting beat up by the Knicks.
Zarko was a pussy that was bound to crumble if all it took was a hit by Fortson to ruin his confidence to the point he fell out the league

Barkley doesn't know what he's talking about any more when it comes to the Suns.

I'm not sure why he thinks the Warriors would've been worried to play the Suns. The Warriors aren't dumb, they were spending the better part of the season working on a game plan for that matchup. The version of the Suns we all expected from the regular season could've beaten the Warriors but it would've been a really tough battle.

Rudy Gay is washed. :lol:

Who's the guy in the black shirt and multi-colored patterned shorts?

This is the stuff Ayton should be working on now.

Sure, let’s keep our 7 foot center as far away from the basket as possible. Ayton needs to work on his inside game and dominating the paint with aggression. There is no reason for him to camp out at the 3-point line.

My guess is he mostly meant the grab and go stuff.

I didn't think I'd need to explain it, but yes, grab and go.

Dribble with his head up, look off the defenders, initiate the offense. Those are all things that he should be able to develop and are exactly what I've referred to when I said he doesn't (can't) dribble or pass now.

A big man who can put the ball on the floor and make a play is the most dangerous offensive weapon in the NBA. He'll be an All-NBA superstar if he ever adds exactly what Dario did in that clip to his game.

I'm excited to get Dario back next season. I think he'll have a big positive impact on our team.

He looks thinner & it's weird that I am not sure if that hurts or helps him considering we primarily used him in the post or as a weird point-center kind of role.

Have we signed anyone or made any moves lately? I've been kind of out of the loop on Suns news.

I’ve thought about that too, I wonder if we asked him to get thinner and more mobile to play more PF.

And no real news lately on the suns…last thing was Duane Washington Jr and Ish Wainright signing 2-way deals

Thinner for him probably means less injury prone. He’s more of a skill player than a brute.

This is insane. Why would the Suns do that trade?

Yeah, AD is too injury prone but it's still kind of tempting. When you can get one of the 5 best players in the league for just Ayton you have to consider it. For a little while anyway.

I'm out on AD. He's not competitive enough to lead a championship team.

Totally agreed, but AD is not one of them anymore, not even before considering the huge "when healthy" tag attached to him.

What’s AD got to do with acquiring one of the best 5 players in the league?
