Oh gosh wait till Enegmatic gets a whiff of this. Everything is playing out exactly like we said it was and I’m loving every second of it. I’m like a pig in **** right now, bring me more scraps so I can wallow in my glorious filth.


DA is a low character guy and he continues to reinforce it with this kind of passive aggressive crap.

It has to sting that he was the franchise's first ever #1 draft pick and he'd look across at his teammate Booker - what he saw was the polar opposite. A guy who brought in night in and night out - even when things were bad. A man with ACTUAL heart.

Deandre sand bagged this org during a championship window. I do not wish him well at all and would love nothing more than to watch his career flame out. He'll prolly have a little bump there in the beginning for Portland but he is who he is at this point and will deviate back to his old ways because that's who he is at his core.

Btw I saw in another post over on the mains that dude already had 150 hours of NBA 2k24 after only 3 weeks his new gamer tag being visible. That's what he was doing to get prepped for this upcoming year when he and his Tesla battery were going to prove all the haters wrong lol. He's not serious about his chosen profession.


Dude you seriously need some mental help to get over your bitterness over Ayton. He is not a low character person that would be someone like Miles Bridges who actually is a scumbag of a human being, he wasn't always the most motivated player but he wasn't a douche that publicly demanded a trade and refused to suit up for the team.

Get some damn therapy and move on with your life.

Although I personally don't care about social media much, this move by ayton shows his true character.

"Unfollowing" somebody when you are a public figure is a passive aggressive move.

If ayton really don't wanna see KD/Book twit, then just mute them on his account. It would've cost zero drama for him.

ayton is a fking immature teenager :noway:

Glad the DA era is done.
Mikal and Cam...would love to still see them in a Suns uniform. Ayton...the season after season of drama you brought was not worth it anymore.

I’m just getting started brother. This Ayton saga will be here for a while. We still got games to play.

The Ayton talk won't stop for a long time. Our franchise's only ever #1 pick, selected over Luka. Had tons of hype, talk and flashes, but never lived up to it. A tenure that featured a finals appearance, the infamous Game 7 ending our '22 playoff run, and a DNP-Quit to end our '23 playoff run.

It took the better part of three years for the Doncic vs Ayton debate to slow down. It will take that many for the Nurk vs DA debate to die. However, whenever the Suns biggest mistakes are discussed, DA will alway be #1 on the list.

That long, drawn out multi paragraph nonsense read like someone's ex girlfriend complaining about their BF. Kinda funny to read in a sad way.

The real Thor would not have made that post.

Chris Paul taking a shot at Ayton, imagine how much he would have had to be babied by Paul, Booker, Durant, Monty, Jones just to get to above average, it's mentally taxing for everyone and once the season starts in 3 weeks it will be refreshing.

It's now Booker and everyone Jones wanted, the 2010s decade has been flushed down the toilet and it's surprising to see people still hanging onto to the mistakes made from it when we now have the greatest squad we have ever had.

Suns coach Frank Vogel said after Day 1 of camp they're having two practices today, but it'll be the only two-a-day this week.

"We're going to throw a lot at these guys and we're going to really really tax their legs in week one. Just to give them a little expectation."

Kellen Olsen: “Bradley Beal said an early thing they caught onto through 5-on-5 today was guys being too passive. Everyone has an unselfish attitude on the floor and wants to share the ball but taking the best shot when it's there is key.”
