    Ayton quite engaging. To me, it sounded like he might have got more individual coaching from his Olympics coach than from Portlaand, talked about creating contact and getting to the line more.

    I know some of you are not big Ayton fans, but he is certainly a likable guy.

    Someone please ask Ayton if he's still sleeping on an air mattress.

    I do not care that Ayton in engaging I just want him to evolve more so we have a better chance to trade him to make room for DC ( if he is as good as I think he will be )

    It's because he has spent the least amount of time around @THE HCP.

    Seems like food was used by coaches as an analogy for practice and development last year... Scoot talking about "All the good food he had" when thinking back on last season and learning from it...then another reporter asking Ayton about a quote he had about "we're trying to make the food taste better"...i guess it was from a practice last last year and DA had no idea what he was talking about lol responding with " What was I saying!?". Probably the funniest moment from a pretty drab media day.

    Also liked hearing from Donovan about how playing with the different guards and how the defense chooses to guard them in pnr affects what reads are going to be available to him.

    Did any of the players grow a couple inches taller in the off-season?

    Honestly game threads will be sparse like last year.

    They are legendary when we think we have a chance (see: Lillard era) and hundreds of posts are about one play an hour ago in the 2nd quarter lol
