2022 NBA Offseason Thread: Preseason kicks off; Things are fine in Los Angeles, Draymond beats the charges

Anybody say Giannis?

DCAllAfrican

Nope because he is Nigerian.

Ayton if he's a real one will level up as a player and prove them wrong.

there will be plenty of opportunity to prove to them you truly a max guy.
if he's got it in him suns are a great place to prove it.

That 5th year really bothered Sarver like that I guess lmao

you had to pay Ayton, can't lose him for nothing.


if Ayton really has it in him to be a true star now's the time to prove it.

All of this. Sure, he could have probably could have put up numbers in Indy with Hali but they’d likely be a fringe playoff team to begin with. He is coming off a Finals run and a season as the #1 team in the league with elite guards. There are issues off the court but it is clearly the best on the court situation IMO.

First the Tatum picture, now this…Great. We have officially entered the “<Insert Player> has been hitting the weights HEAVY this off-season “ part of summer

Not Kobe was on tv too? He using the angles to look yoked now?

I can't believe this is the tattoo of someone who has millions of dollars

every white dude ive met with a lion tattoo

has been an absolute menace to socitey.

I'd say Luka the hardest player in the league to guard. Combination of height and strength and ridiculous foot work. Luka breaks you down, picks you apart and eats. Straight up disrespectful.

Giannis right there too, but for different reasons.

 

[RustyShackleford]

Damn, Indiana didn't even include any poison pills in the deal to make the decision tougher for Phoenix

 

[Mister Meaner]

That’s dope and all but I was looking forward to CP0 window closing faster.

 

[big j 33]

Ayton was always going to get the max. The Suns were dumb if they thought it wouldn't happen. I respect not thinking he's a max guy (personally I'm not a fan or think he's a superstar max level guy, nowhere close) but he would always get it. Should have paid him and had better flexibility and less drama with him. Or trade him when you had the chance earlier.

Ayton should be happy. Got paid. Less responsibility. Doesn't have to move or live in Indy.. win win win.

Sheesh

I refuse to believe that’s accurate.

 

[dman14]

ainge asking for 6 and will "settle" for 4.
unless some other team willing to give up just as much

 

[DLF]

Sheesh

Damn glad knicks declined. That’s ridiculous

 

[Mister Meaner]

Sheesh

More comfortable giving Bk a call with that same offer for 34 yr old KD than Donovan Mitchell.

Ainge is a madman.

I’m glad Leon isn’t an NTer.

[DLF]

Imagine the Knicks simply offered Salary and 3 firsts and 1 swap for Murray

 

[rolaholic]

Sheesh

Danny Marks

 

[B Sox]

Trader Danny

 

[HIM]

Because they could’ve offered him the max prior and then traded him for KD lol

But honestly they probably thought he wouldn’t command a max (or even more then what they were willing to pay) and could’ve matched anything cheap

Did the nets even want Ayton?
