I agree. I think he will be our guy when all the dust settles. Question is, do we start hearing trades with the Spurs for Leonard?

Please no, without a guarantee that he wants to stay here

Ayton will be a fan favorite. Very friendly guy and a good teammate.

The way James Jones is talking, it seems like he is talking about Ayton (without saying his name) as being a generational talent.

Suns traded Mikal Bridges, Cam Johnson, Jae Crowder and 4 1st round picks and a swap so some Vegas Bookies would like us.

We did it boys.

Now my pick is Ayton I think it will fit us a lot better and we haven't had a good center for a long time....

But of course if we draft Doncic Ill still be happy.

Either one for me is a win win....So happy we got the first pick.

8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)


Also hey guys been awhile :D

I dunno. There'll be more soft, offensively great centers in the future too.

(actually I haven't watched Ayton ever, just taking advanced stats nerds' word here)

I think we're going to take Ayton @ 1 and take the best available PG at 16 if we don't deal it.
A trade for Kemba is starting to make more sense.

He's more polished offensively than KAT at the same age with better physical tools to be at least an average defender. Its all a matter of intangibles for him to actualize that sky high potential

I dunno. His offense is apparently elite. And he can only learn from here. Playing under Chandler will hopefully teach him a thing or 2 about defense.

Take Ayton at 1, then Doncic cries and cries because he refuses to play for any team without Igor as coach. We trade crap to Kings for Doncic.

Doncic/Booker/Jackson/Bender/Ayton - future complete.
