    Season Opener: Nuggets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 10-20-2021

    My bigger concern (at least for this season) than Ayton checking out and the need for a power forward, although both remain, is Booker checking out due to his perception that ownership/management, in not adding much during the offseason (and in particular in not filling the hole at power...

    The Ayton Plan

    Sarver is currently widely regarded as the worst owner in professional sports. Short of moving the team out of Phoenix, I can't imagine it getting worse.

    Season Opener: Nuggets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 10-20-2021

    How is 4-10 shooting and 2 rebounds "showing up"?

    The Ayton Plan

    I had hope that Sarver had finally turned the corner. Turns out that such hope was foolish.

    Season Opener: Nuggets @ Suns Wednesday game thread 10-20-2021

    You're right. I didn't, as I am currently in Greece. But the stats are obvious. Look at the awful production of Jae C and Cam J and compare it to the Denver power forwards. If the team is counting on the backcourt to carry it all season, it is in for a rude awakening.

    The Ayton Plan

    Then this franchise is screwed as long as Sarver owns it.

    The Ayton Plan

    What cap space? We're over the cap either way, and other than McGee on a one year deal, Ayton is literally the only interior player we have. When addressing this debate, it is critical to consider the alternatives. Put Allen or Turner on the roster instead of Ayton as literally the only...

    The Ayton Plan

    And Turner and especially Allen are less effective.

    Who? Simmons or Ayton?

    The Ayton Plan

    Ayton is a far superior rebounder and scorer compared to Allen, and Ayton has the strength that the rail-thin Allen does not. Turner is closer, but Ayton is also a superior rebounder and scorer there.

    The Ayton Plan

    Not a chance. That idea went out the window the moment SGA signed his deal, and Ayton's full max or bust stance was reinforced when MPJ signed his. Ayton will ask out next summer, if not sooner. You can bank on it. And if the Suns think he is bluffing, he will sign the one-year tender and...

    The Ayton Plan

    Watch the Suns sign and trade Ayton for Simmons next year and play Simmons at center. It would give James Jones his dream small-ball line up of nothing but guards and wings, and he can prove once and for all what an unmitigated failure small-ball is in the NBA (though in my opinion, the...

    The Ayton Plan

    Who do they hope to get, how could they possibly do so without blowing up their core, and even if they could, what good would it do if they don't have a viable interior player?

    The Ayton Plan

    The Suns could add their choice of SGA, Young, Morant or Fox to Booker AND CP3, and it won't matter a darn bit if they don't have a single above-average interior player, which is where losing Ayton leaves them. They then become the Harden/Westbrook Rockets that was a year away from being the...

    The Ayton Plan

    He has already bad-mouthed the organization over this.

    The Ayton Plan

    Sarver doesn't think that way, unfortunately. He has a long history of sacrificing long term financial gain for short term financial savings. Penny wise and pound foolish.

    The Ayton Plan

    Again. He learned nothing at all from the Joe Johnson debacle.

    Sarver sells or championship?

    And yet there was pride in being a Suns fan. Now the team is closer to a championship than ever, and yet I have friends expressing condolences when I mention that the Suns are my team.

    So would replacing Ayton with Jalen freaking Smith, which I now fear is their plan.

    2021-22 Around the NBA Thread

    Ayton is the only above average starting center in that entire group. Many of these are guys I had pegged as a potential back-up to Ayton, or even a back-up to his back-up (or in the case of Ibaka, who is a PF, as Crowder's back-up).

    The Ayton Plan

    This reads like a politician's double-speak, making excuses for something he knows is happening while having to stick with the company line. This all but confirms this was 100% Sarver's call.

    The Ayton Plan

    A one-dimensional shooter making the max? No way. While I have come around on Cam, I believe his value lies somewhere between Bridges and Shamet.

    Suns extend Landry Shamet

    More like it's getting blown up regardless of what happens in the next two years. We need a new owner.
