Deandre Ayton's early tenure in Portland was characterized by ‘tardiness and tantrums,’

[Thavoiceofthevoiceless]

AYTON HAS SHOWN HE CAN
ANCHOR A TEAM TO THE FINALS
WHILE NURK IS FOOD EVERY POST SEASON
NO MATTER HOW HARD HE "TRIES"







​

Which doesn’t mean shyt in the grand scheme of things because Ayton has the reputation of being lazy and unmotivated and his own comments over the years haven’t done him any favors.

There’s a reason why not many teams were calling back for his services. He has that reputation and doesn’t seem to care to change that.

No Simmons slander . nikka whole career arc changed due to his back injury.

He didn't anchor shyt he had an elite CP3 and D.Book on his team lol. And that was a fluke finals run anyway

So after that Finals loss with CP3's age showing, why didn't he take over and be the #1B or #2 to Book? CP3 was getting blamed for them losing next year and Ayton avoided almost all accountability. That tells you people don't think highly of him. #1 pick on a contender and the old PG is getting flak for losses.

Ayton never anchored shyt.

Once they reach a certain amount of money a lot of these guys mentally check out. Next CBA owners will probably push for max contracts becoming non-guaranteed if traded within first 2 years.

All the talent in the world and no heart to go with it. Good riddance.

No different than any other job

Contract year/Up for a raise= work ya ass off

Secure the Max/Substantial raise=take foot off the gas

Par the course for a player like him. Team out of the playoffs, meaningless games, put up big numbers towrad end of season...sounds about right.

He's finally realizing his destiny as a "good stats/bad team" guy

That's disrespectful to the NBA's top trapper Randolph was a focal point on some good Grizzlies teams

You remember the MTV cribs episode with Z-Bo? All them shifty goons playing pool. You knew he was in the street game doing wild shyt.

Z-Bo was known as a stat-padding loser before he landed on the Grizzlies. Averaging 20/10 yet teams were giving him away for a bag of chips.
