    I think some would be surprised how your mind state can change when you are on your contract year and also playing with TWO superstars! One trying DA can do is pick n roll/pop. Gonna have a field day I believe.

    Suns fans convinced he phoned it in during the finals.

    While much of the board complaining about Ayton today was in a tizzy about attaining him initially, I was only luke warm about getting him with the upside being I wanted Nurk gone. I'm now glad they bought DA out as he was not a great fit overall & they need to feed their new young Bigs some minutes. No doubt though when Ayton looked his best here was when he was pick and rolling with Deni for a brief period the 2nd half of the season while he was healthy and Deni had ascended to the team's alpha. I agree that his game should fit in well beside Luka and LBJ (if he's still a Laker).

    Btw, fuck the Lakers

    That is plenty of motivation. Should be interesting.

    Yeah too bad he's never played with any superstar before, or two of them, or you know been to the finals....

    Then you got nothing to worry about when we play the Lakers, right?
