This thread should die as well. He's gone, he's a hated Laker. He is now the enemy. No reason to continue to waste time and energy talking about him.

Should change the name to "Blazers now had the full MLE that they can trade" lol

LMAO "DeAndre Ayton is in that class with them"....

Was kind of surprised we haven't been hearing delusional Laker media and Laker homers with over the top Ayton glee... Guess its now starting.

I'm going to enjoy watching his fools gold bring down the Lakers from the inside!

If someone can get DA to compete on defense every night like he did early in his career, dunk the ball more times than he pulls up for a middy, then he can be an all star playing with the gravity of Luka.

I just don't think DA has it in him to do the smart things and to give consistent effort.

Media types who love the Lakers alternate between pumping the brakes because he got traded for a reason -- twice -- but is more than worth the $8 million AND playing with the stats to make a best case scenario. And singing the praises of Lebron and his influence. And Laker Nation. Until Lebron comes out and sees his shadow and pronounces they're ready, and the Lakers title run can begin, we'll all have to wait for that next brilliant Laker move ... like getting Bradley Beal once Phoenix buys him out.

Holy shit the glazing on Ayton is absolutely insane.

Not that different from the glazing that goes on with some fans in all fanbases.

If your goal this seasons is to win games, you will miss him. Plain and simple.

If your goal this season isn't to win games then you really fucked up last season.

Yeah, I found something saying he is a Knicks fan but he lives in LA now. Probably some bias. He also called a chiefs fans yahoos and thought the rest of the afc west would be way better (probably becoming a Chargers fan).

I don't take what these media guys say seriously. Skip Bayless says off the wall stuff all the time.

It’s the same media saying Bronny is the perfect backup for Luka

Thank God the Blazers ditched this guy before the Crazy Train hit the station.

Based on just a cursory glance, if a chick agreed to go on a vacation to an island with me and then said she wasn't gonna sleep with me, I'd probably ditch her too.

There was some other social media exchange posted here earlier this summer talking about how he needs to leave an influencer alone... not sure if it was also this one.

 

[riverman]

He was so good that we drafted centers both years he was a Blazer!

 

[Natebishop3]

Okay, so first of all..... The Times of India? Do they break a lot of news?

Second, according to said article, she went to the island with him and he kicked her out when she didn't want to have sex....... this seems perfectly reasonable to me. Unless they went on the vacation as friends

Almost as bad as people on here who actually think YANG is going to help us win games this season?

I think some would be surprised how your mind state can change when you are on your contract year and also playing with TWO superstars! One trying DA can do is pick n roll/pop. Gonna have a field day I believe.

Suns fans convinced he phoned it in during the finals.

While much of the board complaining about Ayton today was in a tizzy about attaining him initially, I was only luke warm about getting him with the upside being I wanted Nurk gone. I'm now glad they bought DA out as he was not a great fit overall & they need to feed their new young Bigs some minutes. No doubt though when Ayton looked his best here was when he was pick and rolling with Deni for a brief period the 2nd half of the season while he was healthy and Deni had ascended to the team's alpha. I agree that his game should fit in well beside Luka and LBJ (if he's still a Laker).

Btw, fuck the Lakers

STOMP

That is plenty of motivation. Should be interesting.

Yeah too bad he's never played with any superstar before, or two of them, or you know been to the finals....

Then you got nothing to worry about when we play the Lakers, right?
