Ainge bringing his kid in to co-GM is already off to a rousing start.

Ainge did great in Boston and his first year in Utah. Been a mess ever since.

Ainge really only did great in Boston because Detroit, Charlotte and Miami were a bunch of idiots.
That is a Justice Winslow trade reference for you young ones

That’s going to be a massive buyout

He'll probably end up on the Lakers for a 1 year minimum somehow.

He's owed $35 million. It will be interesting to see how much the buyout is for.

Does Deandre Ayton even like basketball?

Had a pretty good season

He'll probably be what Christian Wood should've been for LA, pretty mediocre.

That’s the problem. On the minimum it’s obviously a no brainer

There aren't things I want less in my team than a non competitive C. Whatever he had, I think Giannis broke.

Beasley out here gambling WITH GIANNIS'S PRIME

Always thought Ayton lacked heart (and needed to stay on the gas). But if he was cheap, sure.

Im not sure he likes basketball either but he was better than I thought last year and he’d actually be a really good fit

aytons size coordination combo makes him playable even if he half asses it a decent portion of the time. He can actually be good when he locks in but that's also what's made him a frustrating player his whole career. He's his generations Tim Thomas.

If you can get Ayton on the min, or BAE if GTJ and KPJ split up the MLE, you kind of have to do it. Too much talent to pass that up for the Bucks. You hope that he’s motivated either by Giannis or by wanting to get another big contract to try for an entire season.

That said, the only reason he’d sign with the Bucks over anyone else is Giannis and not in the sense that he wants to play with Giannis, more in the sense that he probably still has PTSD from trying to cover Giannis in the finals so he doesn’t want to guard him.
