Recently, Ayton, the interior line of the Trail Blazers, said the craziest thing in an interview with the media. Ayton said bluntly: I don't have anything to prove, I am a top-paid player, and I will still be a top-paid player in the future.
Ayton, who was drafted by the Suns as the No. 1 overall pick in 2018, has great physical attributes and has great potential for scoring and rebounding. The team thought they had found the core of the interior for at least the next ten years, and he would dominate the league. But Ayton, who joined the Suns, was completely disappointing, and failed to play convincingly around a point guard like Paul. Ayton, Downs, and Embiid are known as the league's three softest, but Towns and Embiid have gotten rid of the soft label with action this season, but Ayton has taken this road further and further.
In 2022, the Suns signed a four-year, $130 million contract with Ayton, and in the offseason, the team sent Ayton to the Trail Blazers to trade to Nurkic, and after joining the Trail Blazers, Ayton boasted in front of the media, saying: I will rule the league like O'Neal.
This season, Ayton played the second-highest time of his career, but his average per game statistics fell seriously, averaging 12.5 points, 10.3 rebounds and 1 steal per game, and the scoring hit a new career low.
I thought that in the rebuilding of the team, Ayton could play as dominant as his rhetoric, but judging from dozens of games, he may just pay lip service, and the real dominance on the court is just a joke. Now facing the media that he thinks that he is a max-paid player and does not need to prove anything, and will continue to be a max-salary contract, this is simply the craziest player in the current team.
