The Official NBA Season Thread: I’m like Jayson Tatum in the Olympics I'm not playing

[RustyShackleford]

Stein suggested:
Ayton for 10th pick, Hardaway Jr & Maxi

Ayton and Luka share the same agent.

I hate Ayton so much right now I would take a 2nd round pick and a tray of empanadas for him

I don't trust street lingo using Canadians word to Drake

I’m tired of centers and the Mavs

Suns gonna go full "my turn, your turn" next season.

 

[dman14]

Teams going to trade each other's trash and hope they can salvage them
Gobert, ayton, etc

 

[Arthur Shelby]

 

[nick.]

Easier said than done but Suns need some more versatile players. They don't have the personnel to go small right now.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

Why though?

Just like Kyrie they said

They could use a good one. Unfortunately, whatever this version of Ayton is, is not that.

I figured CP0 might end up on the Lakers bench like the rest of the ringless stars of age.

Can’t see a more fitting end to that scumbag’s career than being on a heavily favored and stacked super team only to lose in the finals to a workman like squad ala The Mailman in 2004.

First step to that is Dubious finding a new home so I’m gonna chill.

Sheesh

 

[James_O]

Why though?

We don’t want him

 

[HIM]

I care about winning championships first. I'm never gonna be as high as ya'll on players like him, Luka, Harden

Weren’t you one of the biggest Russ supporters in his OKC days?

KD teams always end up like this

Is this where calling Bron “big Russ” started?

 

[jballer20]

76ers wasted Maxey scoring 20+
Feels like he and Harden need 20+ to have a good chance on Sunday.

 

[geno90221]

Keep that bish right where he is!
F Chris Paul

 

[Based Jesus]

Why the hell would Dallas give up a pick for Ayton at this point?

Teams love bailing each other out for bad contracts, but a top 10 pick is crazy. No one's doing that for Ayton

And i was never in here calling him the best player in the League.... once i watched what he did in that Jazz series it was more than evident he would never win as the #1 option.

So yea still doesn't take away from my point

Julius Randall has some of the worst body language when things aren't going his way.

They don’t need an offensive center at all

Let alone a max paid big man

We’d need the MVP to play like the MVP and carry this team.

Also, I hope Doc will figure out how to play against their 2 big lineup. It was predictable that they would do it, I’m disappointed (but not surprised) that we didn’t know how to deal with their adjustment.

As Bomani Jones aptly puts it, Ayton is tall man not a big man

Sub out PJ Tucker for Niang or go small with Melton.
