I hope he's ok in the long run. This sucks whenever it happens to anyone.
That being said though, this is very good for our pick. 4th-8th in the west is speedster by one game in the loss column. Their pick is slated at 24th at the moment, it could shoot up to 16th in two weeks

I kinda hope they do get Ayton in the draft now.
A lineup with Ayton - Josh Jackson - Booker - Elfrid would be fun to watch develop the next few years.

Why? You like seeing players wasted?
There's a reason you didn't list Marquise Criss or Dragan Bender or Alex Len in the lineup you listed above.

Fair point. And I have heard some concerns regarding Ayton going to losing, listless franchise with on Center. (The way Boogie and A Davis did.)
But that core would be fun to watch and in 5 years might be the best team in the West. One of the few teams capable of keeping up with Philly, Boston and/or Chicago.

You do realize the Suns don't have a coach, right? So whatever they're doing right now (w.r.t. Paytons supposed sudden development) is pretty meaningless. Granted, they're cheap so it's probable they'll just keep the interim coach. However, that's yet another sign ... on top of the mountain of signs ... that they're a losing, listless franchise with no center.
You're killing me, Smalls.

That's one of the reasons I'd like for that forlorn franchise to get Ayton.
They get a new coach and Ayton this summer, that's a fresh start with a ton of assets and an incredibly diverse core.
I'm cooling on Ayton and wouldn't mind seeing another bad team take that gamble instead of us.

I just hate franchises like the Suns who've had sooo many cracks at the lottery and who have soooo many advantages yet patently refuse to take advantage of them.
Meanwhile you got franchises like ours who've never had it as good as the Suns do.
I wish for their (continued) downfall so, admittedly, I got trigger'd by your comment.
Don't mind me though, I'm seeing a therapist ... but don't tell my wife. Heigh-ohhh! I'm here all week, folks. Tip your waitress.

Well it’s about damn time (therapist)...I’m not as much of a Suns hater...if anything I root for them out in the west to do well. I always liked their style dating back to the days of KJ Horny Chambers and co.
Ok...well...the time..she’s up. That’s all we have for this session kg... Now you listen to me, you’re good enough... you’re smart enough...and doggonitt people like you..(not on squawk or anything but overall). You have a happy and a healthy and same see you same time next week!

Per NBARadio, MIN is 1-11 in their last 12 road games. Looks like they have mostly road games left ... with no Jimi Butler.
I am very concerned w.r.t. our MIN 1st. Hope some other team falters unexpectedly otherwise the freaking Twolves could conceivably slide right out of the playoffs.
Is "Thibodeau" Cajun for "over-rated"?

Minny has the same number of road vs home games, 9 each.
I'm concerned too but they are 6 games up in the win column over 8 seeded Clippers. The fight for the 8 seed is a race between Clippers, Nuggets and Jazz.
The end of the season is going to be a blood bath.
The Blake trade to Detroit not looking good. Detroit may not make the playoffs, Clippers might AND get a lottery pick. Blake has cooled off, well he's just jacking 3s.
If RJ comes back they may back in. SVG's seat getting warm again.
