    I’ve been riding that some train with you. Not sure why he’s gotten all the hate that he has. It was never his fault that he was our starting center.

    Has anyone heard how bad is ankle sprain is?

    I STILL don’t believe he got to that one! Kid has amazing hops. I just wish that he could improve defensively. Every time a player goes at him, I just know the refs are going to blow the whistle. However, he did have a great play in which he jumped with both hands up and stopped a player at the rim.

    He's been great as a backup big this season and at a dirt cheap price. I'd hold on to him next year as well with the way he's playing.

    I’ve always been a Jaxson fan. He’s correctly slotted this year and outplaying his contract.

    we've got his early bird rights, so i'm pretty sure we'll be able to retain him without too much trouble.

    Ayton's presence has improved a lot the rule of Hayes in this team.
    And it's obvious: now he can play only a certain number of minutes and a certain type of minutes, he doesn't need to try to be a starter for a pretender.

    And honestly I like the connection Luka - Hayes more than the Luka - Ayton one.

    is it too early to call hayes a successful developmental/reclamation project? feel like he's slowly improved here and rewarded the team's patience with increasing on-court efficacy. would have been very easy to send him packing after last year (i still contend he played pretty well for the most part, though). but we didn't, and i think he's improved a bit again.

    Well the Vando contingent ain't going to like this take but Hayes being such a solid backup C is the one of the reason Vando is fully pulled out of the rotation.

    You can't play Vando with Luka and you can't play him with your non shooting high quality backup big who give you rim protection and one of the best lob threats in the league to go with 3 ridiculously talented playmakers.
