clips have like 0 hustle

Again does anyone know if his NTC has been waived from the trade or not?

Beal was waived, not traded, Clippers picked him up after waivers and he's on 2 yrs/$11M with second year player option. NTC ended with being waived.

Oh snap thought he was traded lol, many thanks in advance, that said would Clippers, be interested in Knecht trade? I'm really just trying to find a trade for Knecht:)

I know it's the Clippers they unlikely to trade with Lakers, but they do get a younger piece here.

I doubt there would be any interest in such a trade from either team

This is exactly why Ayton got frustrated in Phoenix. You have a center who's a threat to go off for 30+ if you get him the ball but the team doesn't have the PG play to find him a lot of the time

Is it? Or do you mean in Portland? Out of his 5 years in Phoenix, Ayton had 1 year of Rubio and 3 years of CP, not sure a PG to get him the ball was a big issue there, lol

CP3 was a point guard, right? He hated Ayton

Ayton just went to Portland and realized it's too far from his homeland the Bahamas. He better make it work in LA.

Probably because he thought Ayton was entitled and lazy. Which he is.

Ayton just went to Poetland and realized it's too far from his homeland the Bahamas. He better make it work in LA.

Mark Williams is not him.

Yeah, Mark Williams needs to stay healthy. The talent and hustle is there.

ayton is flawed but when he buys in he’s such a supreme talent

lakers have so much playmaking and leadership to keep him engaged and accountable

how long that lasts idk but he looks fantastic so far

helps that he’s in a real contract year

If that's why he was frustrated, very weird. He averaged 15.2 FGA and 21.1 pts/36 his last two seasons in Phoenix. Went to Portland and it was 14.7 FGA and 18.0 pts/36. Ayton is crazy if he thinks he should have a nightly more than 15 FGA/36 guy, just crazy.

This season with LAL he's at 14.1 FGA and 20.0 pts/36.

He sets screens, resets screens, rolls to the basket most games, can create his own shot sort of, I still want more fire in him but that's it. Still rather him then Mark Williams.

agreed

he’s such an understated defender, smart has helped a lot as the defensive captain

love ayton’s screens

Is Cam Christie any good?

I predicted 20-12 from the start, since we got Ayton, got slammed hard on here/youtube and facebook, prove me right Angry Ayton.

Ayton over Williams anyday

That said Laker still need another C out side of Ayton/Hayes.

Stick a fork in Brook

Ayton to me has been rather lucky with the teams he's played for in the NBA. There's Ayton family lived close to the Bahamas, where they're from, so I think Portland, and the cold humbled him. Wife and the kid then hit the lottery when Ayton became a Laker.

He will continue how he's been until he locks the extension up. The relationship Ayton and Lebron have interest me.

He did good last game well ok, not good.

20/12 is very unlikely. Ayton hasn't played more than 32.5 mpg in his career, even when his team was a lottery team, which leads one to believe there's probably some stamina/energy related reason. He won't get 20/12 playing 31-32 mpg. Per 36 minutes his career is 19/12, but he seems to be unable to effectively play that much.

Lebron should be able to get the most out of Ayton. Lebron and Luka are two players Ayton should learn from and play his best with. I hope it will be the case.
