Ayton was balling his first two years in the league then they asked him to buy into their system when CP# arrived. He was their second-best player on that finals run. That same off-season they didn't want to pay him and try to use his numbers against him. The following year he had his best season and was the second-best player on their record-breaking season. When Booker went down against they wouldn't have advanced if it wasn't for Ayton. Then during the Mavs series, the Mavs had no answer for Ayton but Monty never included him in the game plan. That same off-season they made him go out and get an offer before getting paid.
Monty is not the person you think he is. Monty plays favorites. He's only a players-coach to his favorites. When he coached New Orleans he always got into it with CP3. He also got into a screaming match with Eric Gordon on the court in New Orleans. He's the reason Eric Gordon wanted to leave New Orleans. Monty also had an issue with Jae Crowder. Monty hated Ayton and wanted him traded. Phoenix was a toxic situation for Ayton.
Ayton played well before getting popped for peds.
i admit.
I do not like monty's roster management. Yet once ayton got popped. Monty may have had to internally reprimand ayton because of the pr for the situation. Plus we know the pay scale had to have been affected. Along with the time table
for the offer sheet with a suitable offer as well.
I will admit I am not big on monty Williams roster management. Yet the sun's in pr.
Plus possibly behind the curtain had to discipline ayton. Even if it was not pr'd to ayton, the public, Or press.
My qualm with ayton is how after he got popped.
His lack of ferocity became even more apparent and he got exposed like the guy from the Lakers who was so thugged out looking. Till his 'euro' island land of origin. Plus how soft he was got exposed.
What was his name.
Ayton plays as soft as that Lakers forward that was on kobe's team. When Bron and kobe played in Xmas a while back.
Ayton plays as soft as that former Lakers island euro player from a while back.
What was that busters name again.
