Some team will take a flyer on DA in free agency thinking "he was in a bad situation in Portland, he played well in Phoenix. We can get thru to him.". Low risk, high reward for a team like the Celtics.
Some win now team with a proven coach and leadership structure will take him for the MLE.

It's kinda funny watching him casually jog onto the screen after the play is over like, "What'd I miss?"

Gonna be funny when Isiah takes over as Prez/GM, brings DA back to the Valley a year from now as his reclamation project and calls him the best center in the league.
I'll be a Sonics fan.
Love, Hurts.

I'm sure it's hilarious for Portland fans. That used to be us. Have a little empathy. :P

I apologize. For a moment, I forgot Portland has fans.

Speaking of Ayton…
Yikes
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.
I admire the dedication at this point. Good for you.
My Frye hate is nothing new. I always hated him when he played for us.

It reminds me of the time he got a technical called on a player for having his jersey untucked. There is no tiny advantage he doesn’t think of to pursue.

I remember lots of people complaining about Frye pretty constantly. He wasn’t great at traditional C things, so they stood out…he was definitely a positive for the team though…nobody wanted the C shooting a bunch of 3s though.

That’s hilarious.

Did it work? From the way Wemby was acting it looked like play had already stopped. Was it just him?

Cavs getting absolutely killed by OKC in a rematch of their last game. 68-104 as I type this.
