Mavericks @ Suns Sunday Playoff game thread, R2, 5-15-2022 - Game 7

Yeah. He wanted so badly to be drafted by Sacramento who just dumped him to Indiana.

That's my favorite part of the story. You wanted to go to a ****** franchise and got **** on

 

[sdscard4]

Its seriously like a another dimension cp3 suns team took over lol not sure what happened thinkin to hard on trophy prob

Play franchise mode ...bong rip and trade Ayton for anything that has guts.

A mid first round pick doesn't dictate where he gets to go.

 

[Chris_Sanders]

I think Ayton is gone. Between not getting the contract and now this dust up with Monty?

No way the Suns give him a super max and we know Ayton’s camp will demand it.

Called it

Lol haha ill do that tom awesome 420 cure the blues idea

Trading ayton to the magic have fun with that team softie!!!

 

[Finito]

You watched C Payne right? Not using Holiday and Ayton being abused nightly did us in. Throw in the fact Bridges is a great role player who can't create his own shot kinda kills us. Matrix part 2

Yup and watched him play great with Paul out.

A healthy player is always better than a hurt player especially when that hurt player is killing the team

 

[Folster]

The only coach who could fix Ayton is prime Pop.

Ayton will be a RFA. He will qualify for the max but not the super max. A sign and trade is looking like a possible option.

Ayton isn’t broken.

That's clearly not the case. You can say you believe this but he got passed up by multiple teams because he told them don't draft me.

Oh that boy is broken

It’s the term “the max” that gets guys riled up. Once the new TV contract with streaming and the gambling money comes into play these max contracts today are going to look like bargains in a few years.

I'm not so sure about that. I think they just televise the major contributors. I'm sure the press would want to talk to him after tonight's game. The report that deandre ayton did not give a post game interview implies there was an expectation he would.

It's been that way all season long. DA doesnt speak after every game (you know because his interviews are normally the goofiest, most quotacious of them all). The who "respoonsibility" angle here isnt the one to be played. He hasnt spoken after every game this season and that wasnt changing tonight.

He wasnt a mid first round pick. The reason he “fell” is because they let it be known what they were not going to do.

 

[sdscard4]

Ayton ...Cam and Payne for Kat and Dlo?

An idea.

Sign Nurkic and trade Ayton for a point guard and maybe something else.

Yet we had Maximum Ayton just last playoffs.

It's more complicated than blaming him in my opinion

Yeah guys here thinking it’s going to be easy replacing him are gonna be in for a shock.

I’d good to trade anyone for the right price. Hell you wanna fire Monty? I’m good with that to

Nurkic?!?!?!

Bruh

 

[Folster]

That's silly. He went to Iowa State and supposedly wanted to go to Sacramento. If he's at the tip of your board, you pick him and call his bluff.

 

[sdscard4]

Nothing changed from last year to this year but a slightly better jumper and maybe 4 3s. Ayton is what he is.

 

[Mainstreet]

Nurkic?!?!?!

Bruh

Nurkic will be a free agent.

We’re in such a no win situation here.

You don’t draft a player who won’t work out, share medical or any information with your team.
