  1. An atrocious move by the Suns. How do you manage to DOWNGRADE your center and improve both the Bucks and Blazers while getting scraps that you can pick up at FA for the vet minimum.

  2. Ong some of you niggas are slow. Ayton staying was never gonna work. He had 3 guys ahead of him on offense. You had to cut your losses, and that’s what he’s worth

  3. Problem with Ayton, when the Suns did give him the ball, he'd fumble the ball, or not have any moves to take advantage of the mismatch.I've seen this guy isolated on point guards and not be able to take advantage of it.He has zero ball handling/face up skills.Which is why his FT rate is so horrendous for a big man.If he works on his handle & start attacking the rim aggressively, he could be an All Star.I just dont know if he can do it.Eddie is right aboue Ayton being a Porsce, but deciding to drive slow.He has all the measurements to be a HOF talent, but he just doesn't utilize it.Great car, but drives like a 90 yr old grandma.

  4. If DA is incapable of looking at thid roster and seeing what that roster needs out of him then yeah he probably should go. He should have been delighted to hear "bro all we need from you is mad rebounds and crazy defense" to make his job that much easier to where he could focus in he should have salivated at that opportunity. There is so many ways to be a great basketball player it doesn't all depend on scoring!!!

  5. EJ is awesome.
    Love the attitude. Hilarious.
    And F&@K Human Trafficking!!! Death Penalty I say.
    I really wanted DA to figure it out with us. Such a shame.

  6. He wants to be a big fish in a small pond. Bummer.
    Wish we’d have known this before the draft or MAX CONTRACT!!!?!

  7. Eddie downplaying DA’s part in all this. We saw it with our own 2 eyes
