You said the same thing over and over and over. We get it. You love Ayton. Move on!

"Trade Ayton if it makes us better, don't if it doesn't" is the most basic stance anybody could take on any player.
Only to a complete idiot would take anything I posted as "anti Ayton". So I think you're an idiot basically and I think it's reasonable to call you that given how you responded.

Y’all keep talking about Ayton trades and there has been zero evidence that Ayton is going to be traded. Y’all bunch of Kari Lakes claiming stolen election.
There isn’t a single player who can’t be traded in this league but conjuring up trades with no basis is just a waste of energy just because you hate the player.

Thanks for the input Capt Obvious. No one could have figured out that trading a player is only good if it improves the team. Powerful insight.

That’s precious coming from the same guy who says Ayton would only average 10 PPG if he were on OKC. Definitely not Anti-Ayton.
Resorting to name calling. Never change Realgm posters!

You guys are arguing over nonsense at this point. There are certainly anti Ayton posts but that last one wasn't one of them.

I thought Twitter was the only place for Burner accounts. Would be impressive if a politician knew about this site.
Which makes me wonder, does any NBA player have a realgm burner account. Hmmm.

He's right about Kari Lake though. Unless she's planning on an Only Fans with Lauren Bobert, she can kindly disappear forever.

Re: 2023-24 Season Discussion and Speculation - Free Agency Begins
I’m not sure he’s a great fit for us considering Biyombo is twice the player then McGee and he’s gone now. Didn’t Mcgee start for the Mavs but was so atrocious they moved him to the bench and yet he hardly played any minutes?

No need for him. Unless we trade DA for a wing/guard, then we're completely set on centers.

I’d rather bring in Rubio after his devastating injury over a healthy McGee any day of the week. Lol

Its called rotations. What I would do is play Ayton with the 3 stars, then when there is a bench unit in. Play Ayton with Booker, Ayton with Beal, Ayton with KD. Ayton can dominate bench units, and we will always have one star on the floor.
This is a good idea. I actually think an Ayton-Beal combo could work well running a high pNr. We've seen enough of him with Booker and Devin just doesn't pass it enough. Idk about him and KD. I think the size would be interesting especially if you have like Gordon run the point.
If we keep him, I'll be most interested when it's Beal/Ayton while Booker and KD sit. That seem like a good pairing if you surround the pair with our bench shooters.

Re: 2023-24 Season Discussion and Speculation - Free Agency Begins
I’ve been watching Beal highlights lately as I barely watch him play few times against us per season. I’m impressed by his dunking ability which got me wondering who will have more dunks this season him or DA? Nothing against Ayton I love him on our team but would be interesting to watch who dunks more next season. Interesting for me of course probably not to others as it’s pretty meaningless I understand that.

Re: 2023-24 Season Discussion and Speculation - Free Agency Begins
My thoughts are Josh Okogie needs to practice his corner 3’s in the off-season if not try shooting elsewhere. He just started shooting corner threes in last 1/3rd of season once we signed KD so there is room for improvement considering he’s fairly young. What sticks out more are two Knick players maybe that’s why they lose early in the playoffs? Hehe

I loved you until you showed you are on the blue side.
