I’m just not sure how he will spin the change of heart. He’s been an alternative theory guy on a ton of topics, probably all topics actually

I'm confused, LiAngelo has already been kicking the tires trying to get into the NBA for a few seasons now, and he's never been assigned a G-League team?
Also this from his wikipedia entry is effing gold.

He's not going to spin it: he's going to completely no-sell it. Just like he no-sold how, three weeks ago, his objection to getting vaccinated was based on his faith, and now he's acting like this new pivot has been the reason why he has been objecting, this whole time.I’m just not sure how he will spin the change of heart.

"That part," as the kids say.

They'll get Ayton done I'm assuming, but Bridges is more important than Ayton as weird as that sounds. The Bridges archetype is so incredibly rare and I think it's pretty likely he can take a step forward offensively too. This more than likely ends up being a good value contract for him.

Bagley and his agent are somewhere smiling while reality sets in and he gets Wendell Carter contract instead
Difference is, if JJJ stays healthy, he's going to pay this contract off and then some. Kings are unfortunately in a situation where Bagley has to get significantly better on the court AND avoid his injury-bug status. There's no question that JJJ is an ascending star if he stays healthy.

Love Giles, the person. But he's in a catch 22 situation. Can't get bigger, because his knees can't take it. Need the girth to stay in the league. He gets over powered wayyy too easily. Think he's headed overseas.

Ya, I still love his skillset on offense but poor guy is caught between two positions defensively and is pretty useless despite at least trying. No quickness and lateral movement to stay with PFs no size and strength to compete with centers.
Such a shame he had the injuries. You could see how pre-injury Giles could absolutely torch everyone at the 4 and make teams regret ever trying to small-ball vs him. Unfortunately think you're right where he's stuck as a tweener right now and can't defend either position.

Yea, I was watching the Clips broadcast and they were really trying to hype his upside, but the reality was he was getting bullied by Thompson and a few other Kings bigs. The skill is tantalizing and he'll flash an occasional help side block, but the reality is he's getting mauled inside and he can't stay in front of his dude on the perimeter.

Unbelievable insanity from the Suns. Like the Kings, they should not have passed on Luka, a generational talent if ever there was one. But DeAndre Ayton has turned out to be a really fantastic consolation prize for them! He has really surprised on the defensive end, in particular. Young team, bright future, and Sarver is risking it all for what, exactly?
yeah idk wtf is with this. I'd feel super insulted if I were Ayton lol. He's had an unreal progression curve where he's become one of the best defensive/rebounding centers in basketball. He was excellent throughout the playoff run on both ends While his offensive scoring role declined a bit last year with Cp3 on board, he had a massive efficiency boost to up his offensive value. And he's just an upper-tier offensive big tier, something only a few other guys in the league can do.
