He’s not soft. He’s lazy. There is a difference. 420 induced.

I agree. He lost his desire when he signed that new contract. Right now he's excited to be a Laker. When does that wear off for him?

 

[Folster]

I don't see how the Lakers have won so many games.

Chasing down Houston for that 6th spot in the Conference. Logic says this won't happen. But just imagine how Brooks and Green would feel to end up past Houston in the standings.

KD teams get worse as the season wears on. It is more likely than you assume.

luka and lebron and reddick and reaves are all really high basketball iq types - and they're all now watching ayton disappear in real time - and everybody in phx knows when you demand more from a frustrated deandre it only gets worse - it cripples the team - dysfunctionality dot com

 

[JCSunsfan]

Houston fans trying to figure out how they can get Green and Dillon back.

Still in denial about KD.

It's time to bring Jalen home

This is a reason.

Laker fans realizing Ayton is a losing player and frustrating teammate no matter how good the numbers look on paper. You need elite leadership from your HC and star players to tolerate him.

Telling that KD isn't even mentioned in that 4 page thread.

Anthony Davis is expected to miss a few games. Maybe not as bad as expected.

Reportedly a trade target.

Ayton is not their problem. He has looked pretty good for a center making $8 million a year. LeBron is the problem from what I've seen.

Who would trade for a oft-injured big?

Oh wait…..

I like Micah. His dad is a friend.

The Mavericks would have to attach a boatload of assets to trade that contract unless other teams are willing to swap bad contracts.

 

[Mainstreet]

I like Micah. His dad is a friend.

Guess he would have been worth the look for the Suns. I hope they are still working on trading Richards or doing something with the contract of Hayes-Davis.

Also, the Suns still have a roster spot open.

Los Angeles Lakers guard Austin Reaves has been diagnosed with a grade 2 left gastrocnemius strain and will be reevaluated in four weeks.

 

[Phrazbit]

So, this is where he’s inevitably out for at least a month and then never comes back the same player for the rest of the year injury?

Well... I can think of worse outcomes.
