Calling it now. James Jones signs him to a min deal next year. JJ gets hard seeing past their prime centers who can pass the ball decent.
Always liked him... He's pretty good as Aquaman too.
How is it he spent two seasons in Memphis without picking up the name “Grizzly Adams”?

I thought he was awesome when I first saw him on Atlantis. I revisited it a couple of years ago and found the whole show a lot less awesome this time around, Momoa included. Of course I’m finding the whole damn world a lot less awesome lately.

This guy. It took me three times watching it to see where he was. He's the one in the middle not moving.
He never wanted more than that 2nd contract. Might as well retire and become a twitch streamer.
Just has to show up for one more season after this one, then he can do that.
And even then he probably could get a minimum contract that pays him more than 90% of the population.
“probably could get a minimum contract”

I guarantee he will get a third contract higher than the minimum.

Wow, way to set that bar lower for a guy that’s supposed to be a generational talent.

I’m not the one setting it absurdly low. I’ll take that bet any day…easy win.

From the guy who said he’s so amazing it sounds like you’re finally accepting he’s not a max player…. I commend you on taking the first step in acceptance that Aytons not a great player.

Back in the old days, a free agent big man would get a bloated contract if he had any semblance of talent or potential whatsoever. It seems like we've passed that era; you don't see teams going quite as nuts over marginal big men any more. I bet Ayton gets something modest for his next contract, like the MLE maybe. Not more, maybe much less. He's quite bad these days, but he does get you a decent amount of double-doubles.

The only thing gross was having to watch a center like Frye who couldn't get a double-double if his life depended on it.

Frye was hugely underrated here. He was before his time as a spacer from the 5. Elite shooting…defense was just ok and he wasn’t a great rebounder, but offensively elite.
