    There are different ways of looking at it but one way is to think of "affect" as the cause and "effect" as the result. Blazers news affects fans' emotions. The effect of Blazers news among fans is often insanity.

    HOW MANY FUCKING TIMES MUST WE TEACH YOU???

    Affect is the verb meaning "to alter or bring about a change". (It is also a noun meaning expression of emotion, most commonly used in the phrase "low affect")
    Effect is the noun meaning what a cause produces. (It is also, confusingly, a verb meaning "to bring about" - as in the phrase "to effect change".)

    Let us all take a moment to celebrate the detriment of the Los Angeles Lakers.

    There’s nothing in Ayton which has to yet to be seen. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him have a “contract year”, and I won’t be sad that it would be somewhere else.

    Let his issues be somebody else’s problem. We have a young group which is more team developmentally minded. I’ll take our future at the 5 without him, TBH.

    Thank goodness really…

    All I want to know is who wins the Ayton - Clingan match up. Can Ayton get a rebound against Clingan? Can Clingan (or our forwards) slow down Ayton's mid-range game? Will Ayton get Clingan in foul trouble by going inside on him (and getting a few BS veteran/Lakers calls from the refs)? Now that he's a Laker, I want our defense to crush his spirit.

    By slow down I think you mean convince him to shoot them?

    Basically the Thunder Westbrook 3pt "defense"

    If reports are true that several teams called about Ayton, why couldn’t Cronin make a deal with anybody? Hard to believe we couldn’t trade him to someone.

    Teams called about offering him 8 million... Not trading for him on a 36 million salary.
