According to a league source, one such team is the Phoenix Suns. They have kept tabs on him throughout the season, and have reportedly become “enamored” with him. They have plans to offer Capela a max or near-max contract once free agency begins. The source requested anonymity because he isn’t authorized to comment on the Suns’ plans.

By pkaz01 Go To PostStill don't see any team passing on Ayton.
Guess we should expect to see a lot of that next season
By giririsss Go To PostStill don't see any team passing on Ayton.McD loves his combo guards, never doubt his hard on for them. I'm less worried about who we get and i'd be happy with either one at this point. Before the coaching hire I was all in on Ayton but now i'm around 50/50 so as long as we get a top 2 pick its on.
I'm more concerned about what he will do in free agency and maxing Capela seems like a huge risk

There is no way Phx passes on the pretty clear cut number 1 pick who also played college hoops in state...That's like what every struggling franchise dreams of
By blackace Go To PostThere is no way Phx passes on the pretty clear cut number 1 pick who also played college hoops in state…That's like what every struggling franchise dreams ofyeah they're not allowed to do that i think lol
By DY_nasty Go To Postyeah they're not allowed to do that i think lolIf they did Luka better walk on water his first two seasons
Raptors not blowing it up(duh)
https://nba.nbcsports.com/2018/05/09/raptors-gm-masai-ujiri-on-blowing-team-up-were-not-doing-that-here/
So yeah, expect the Raps to get washed by the Pacers, Celtics, LeBron's tean/Sixers/Cavs next season.

Kobe talked to him.
By s y 2.0 Go To PostPG on the Lakers isn't even a playoff team imo. Kuzma and Ball should be better tho.???
Ball???
Pffft.
I would trade that bum for a bag of peanuts.
I would pay a team to take him.
I'm ready to pay a team to take both him and Deng.
Does Miami need money?
By blackace Go To PostThere is no way Phx passes on the pretty clear cut number 1 pick who also played college hoops in state…That's like what every struggling franchise dreams ofHe also already publically said he wants to go to Phx before we were even had the last spot locked up. McD is pretty bad at appreciating things like that though, and I could see Sarver falling into the Doncic hype, especially since he liked Goran so much
By Adam Go To PostPsy posting old news again.Both are from yesterday. "old" news better than no news.
How the fuck is Ayton a clear number 1? Because America? And hiring his national team coach is a pretty clear indication that the Sun's are considering Doncic.
Lots of talk that Ben Simmons needs to rework his jumpshot completely. I would agree with that. From 3-10 feet, he only shoots 27%, 10-16 feet, 23%. At those percentages, you won't get worse and remaking the shot has so much more potential for improvement. I can't clearly remember him taking a shot that wasn't some sort of push shot or hook. Does he have an actual jump shot form to work on, or is it something he needs to develop?
Those percentages are wrong. They were read off on the Dan Patrick Show this morning (Mannix is guest hosting), and they're way lower than actual. Not sure where they pulled info from. Maybe it was playoffs only or something. Not sure.
By Jeff-DSA Go To PostThose percentages are wrong. They were read off on the Dan Patrick Show this morning (Mannix is guest hosting), and they're way lower than actual. Not sure where they pulled info from. Maybe it was playoffs only or something. Not sure.You are right:
regular season
playoffs
By Moris Go To PostJeff lemme hold a 20I'll give you a ride my in Honda Fit. It has keyless entry and AC.
By s y 2.0 Go To PostWtf is keyless entryYou keep a little piece of plastic (called a key fob) in your pocket. When the fob is close enough to the door, it lets you open it.
It also costs several hundred to replace if you lose it, unlike a normal key which is less than fifty.
By s y 2.0 Go To PostSo Jeff has Bluetooth car doors. Jesus.It's like magic, man. It unlocks when you put your hand into the handle, but not before. I think it's probably the most futuristic tech we have going right now.
By s y 2.0 Go To PostAll those Rubio bricks had to go somewhere
wow
By Jeff-DSA Go To PostIt's like magic, man. It unlocks when you put your hand into the handle, but not before. I think it's probably the most futuristic tech we have going right now.
and also some of the most hackable
By knux-future Go To PostI also have keyless entry.
didn't know it was that rare.
I don't have anything bad to say about Capela, the dude's got springs, but I don't really get the max contract thing. Is the thinking that he's Nu-Amare?
By Smokey Go To Postand also some of the most hackableI've made a note that I leave on the car. It's never been hacked.
By Red Blaster Go To Postdont think ayton is a clear number 1 given how trash he was at defenseGone over it before.
Super athletic plus skill == the highest desirables in a pick.
Not playing defense in college just doesn't mean anything when you have those two things.
Apparently Ball and Simmons proved you don't have to shoot in college to get drafted. Now you don't have to defend. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO?!
By masud Go To PostHow the fuck is Ayton a clear number 1? Because America? And hiring his national team coach is a pretty clear indication that the Sun's are considering Doncic.
By s y 2.0 Go To PostApparently he doesn't know which hand to shoot with.He shoots with the wrong hand, purposefully. He was coached that way. I.e. he shoots with his non-dominant hand. Contrary to like everything known to man.
And you can see it because in his around the rim stuff, he shoots with his dominant. Sso when he goes to shoot a jumper he gets a weird form because his dominant wants to take over. You can see it.
By Jeff-DSA Go To PostApparently Ball and Simmons proved you don't have to shoot in college to get drafted. Now you don't have to defend. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO DO?!simmons and embiid probably couldve beat boston if that went into the season with ben at PF instead of point trying to be cute lol

Yep. People been saying this about Simmons for a while.
Ball actually shot pretty well in College, the question is whether he could get his shot off when coming to the NBA. He actually got it off pretty ok honestly.. just super inconsistent.
