Good for him. He's a good dude and naturally talented, so let's hope he can keep it up.

Happy we don't have to watch him set shitty picks any more, though.

Hey, at least they don't have ice storms in LA, so that should help him.

this was tweeted by a huge Laker fan and posted here by a troll

compare Ayton's 1st year in Portland to his first 8 games in LA:

points: PDX 16.7....LAL 17.5
rebounds: PDX 11.1....LAL 8.4
assists: PDX 1.6....LAL 1.1
turnovers: PDX 1.8...LAL 2.3
assist/turnover: PDX 0.89....LAL 0.48
FG%: PDX .570....LAL .657
FT%: PDX .823....LAL .588
PER: PDX 18.9....LAL 18.3
TS%: PDX .587....LAL .657
reb rate: PDX 19.1%....LAL 15.9%
winshares/48: PDX 0.106....LAL 0.114
BPM: PDX +0.3....LAL -1.9

lol..."fantastic"....the only thing he's doing better in LA than Portland is shooting the ball. In most ways he was better as a Blazer and that was for a season, not an 8 game sample size. Yep....better in PDX but by the end of the season most Blazer fans wanted him gone PDQ/ASAP/Yesterday. Laker fans just need a little more time.....and a lobotomy

Holy shit, this really sucks. Erik Spoelstra just lost his home to a fire this morning.

Massive fire heavily damages Spoelstra's home

Fire destroyed a home owned by Miami Heat coach Erik Spoelstra early Thursday, with officials saying more than 20 units were dispatched in what became a futile effort to save the property.

Neil Olshey would've signed him. He loved undersized guards

He might be legit if he were averaging a triple double...

I've always been wary of the hate LeBron gets. Dude has done so much good in communities. Bronny certainly gets unwarranted hate. Where was all the anger over Blevins? That guy was way worse than Bronny is. So are Giannis' brothers.

It is what it is. Relationships help people get jobs. People can call it nepotism but Bronny obviously has SOME potential.

It is just weird.

Nobody really cared about Blevins. I don't really care about Bronny or Giannis' brothers either. It's just funny. It's a joke.

I mean good for them. But to most it's just a joke. It would be awesome if they all were there on their own merit like the Lopez and Curry brothers.

LeBron is an athletic freak. He's a good basketball player. Knows the game.

I don't care about him either though. i just don't. The most attention I ever give him is when posts like this come up.

The idea that he thinks he's in the conversation with Jordan, Wilt, Russell, Kareem or Larry Bird is just funny to me... The fact that he spends money on social media campaigns advocating for himself as the GOAT is just pitiful.

Lol just thought about the Curry brothers... Both legit players in the league.

I guess Steph beats LeBron at that, too.

Yeah Blevins never made the court like bronnie has and Dame wasnt out there advocating Blevins will be an all star and Blevins didnt talk like an entitled ahole.


When you are the best. People tell you so. You don't tell people so. For so much success as he has had, he sure seems fragile with that glass ego.

Is that AI or does Matas have tiny hands?

Blevins did what Ed Davis and Will Barton did, he signed for a Canadian team in Calgary then went overseas and signed in Singapore. He's been a professional basketball player since his days waiving towels in Portland. Ed Davis won the championship in the Phillipines and Will Barton and Jake Layman played in Japan. CJs brother made a career in Turkey. It's all good. Alan Crabbe was in the G league a couple years ago. He didn't need the money, that's for sure. Point is, these guys do something for a living whether it's next to a more famous relative or elsewhere. No knock on any of them that they weren't as successful as the Lopez twins or Barry family.

A shooter off the bench. Could we use him?

I predict he ends up in Houston. They need shooters and have many picks stockpiled. (So do OKC but picking up old players isn't their style.)
