I honestly think he should go to Charlotte.

Makes sense why Portland reached to take the Chinese Jokic so high now, a klutch client.

They did it so Ayton can be bought out and signed to a MLE by the Lakes saving the Blazers quite a bit of money.

How TF can you ignore Klutch rigging the entire league? We need to speak up.

By getting Portland to release their 3rd best center?

This has Rich Paul's fingerprints all over it.

Looks like Silver's rigging game has plummeted. I remember when the Lakers were gifted actually good players.

The Blazers FO is a joke.

Ayton was an expiring and surely they could have gotten something for him and instead they lose him for nothing not even a few 2nd round picks...

Plenty of teams under the 1st apron that could sign him and there are some 1st apron teams that could shed a bit of salary to pick him up.

Lakers fans in May: "Can we get a late 1st for this guy?"

So he is Alex Len?

*Minus the "can we get a late 1st for this guy?"

I was thinking about Christian Wood, being honest... :lol:

Yeah I am pretty sure he is going to Lakers. Unless Brooklyn throws a crazy offer to him, but they don’t even need a center.

i feel like charlotte is another team to look out for here

Because it’s a losing game. The real win is taking your money and viewership and walking.

It’s low effort trolling with these NBA conspiracy theories.

The sad part is I think people are serious. They think Klutch and/or the NBA are rigging the league in every scenario for LeBron. People legitimately believe this stupid stuff lmao.

I used to follow politics and you’d get the most brain dead beliefs and conspiracies but now it’s seeping into sports for some strange reason. The Lakers are also in the tax so all they have is the tax MLE unless they let DFS go or move some contracts.

it’s brain dead to think politics is real at this point. As for the NBA, they don’t even hide it anymore.

His motor is jus so bad...but to play devils advocate we said the same about TWolves version Andrew Wiggins and he finally found the right spot to succeed

Why would he not want to start lol. Once u take the minimum and a bench role theres no going back market wise

Or is it an admission that nobody likes him in the league and teams won't even trade for him?

Ayton is that bad.
