Why? One of Pop’s favorite players of all time is LaMarcus Aldridge that’s the guy Ayton reminds me the most of.

Pop hated Aldridge for his first few years in San Antonio and wanted to unload him. They had a meeting and repaired their relationship and were good from that point on. I really don't think I'd put much stock in Aldridge being Pop's favorite player or one of his favorites. I've never seen anything that suggests he's a favorite of Pop. Most I can find is about their disputes and patching things up.

Walker Mehl, a Charlotte reporter is saying the Ayton for Miles Bridges, PJ Washington and multiple picks jabber is legit.

That is waaaaay more than I would have thought possible.

Bridges is likey to get 25-30 mil per in an extension.

If Ayton has to go, I would be pretty darn happy with that transaction.

So would another player be coming back or when would Miles Bridges be extended?

Why wouldn’t you just give Ayton 30 million then? They’d be crazy to let Ayton go then sign Miles Bridges to the same amount of money.

After looking up Miles Bridges HELL NO. Just posted a joint and a cup of lean in his hand on IG and making a rap album, no thanks

Wouldn't a sign and trade for Miles hard cap the Suns? I'm not too sure on what that entails. What would the ramifications be?

What do you think the percentage of players is that smoke weed? Also Shawn Marion?

I think he would be sign and traded at the same time.

I guess I'm wondering if Miles Bridges is extended before the trade it exceeds the $19 million the Suns can take back.

Also the draft is before free agency.

I’m guessing They’ll wait until after the initial two week rush of FA and drop it right around NFL training camps kick into gear.

I never thought the Spurs could develop Jakob Poeltl into the player he is today. Developing Ayton should be much easier.
Did Coach Pop really say Ayton is worth a max? A real coach and real NBA team like the Spurs could probably get the most out of Ayton.

I'm only thinking out loud but I don't think Miles Bridges would receive the max. That's one of the reasons the Suns might do the trade plus the additional assets to help do other trades.

How many are stupid enough to post it and a cup of lean on Instagram?

The lean is way more concerning.

Same. I mean… I’d be over the moon with that package if we had to trade him.

A mistake. Ayton popped for PEDs and plays video games until 2AM.
Do we know it was PEDs? I thought he just tested positive for a diuretic? I know their usual reason for a diuretic but who knows what goes through the mind of someone like DA? Anyway, nothing I've seen from him really suggests he's taking performance enhancing drugs.

This what we’re doing now.

Ayton staying up playing video games to unwind is bad but kicking it in the studio making your rap album drinking lean and smoking weed is acceptable?

Do you even know what lean is?( hell I’ve even drank it) Guys OD on that it’s a serious drug and to even try and justify it is a flat out joke. Those two things are def not even remotely close to the same.

Diuretics could also be used to clear out evidence of other recreational drugs.

Yeah and the use of it is a bigger deal to the NBA than the recreational drug many of us thought he was trying to hide (marijuana).

I said "If Ayton has to go".

If he has to go that is a helluva package.

I don't know if they're talking future or current picks, either way, that stuff has never stood in the way of teams making handshake deals.

I don't care if DA was freebasing Krokodil! That's over now.
It's time to LET DA join the damn party or let his ass go. If we keep him, take off his stupid restrictions and let the man ball. And get him some Efing help at the rim if you wont let him play there.
Power Forward and Backup PG, the same **** we needed at the start of last season.
OR
Just give up and sign a bunch of guards and pray the 3s are falling.
Whatever I'm down either way.
