Anyone eating up that much cap space needs to be much more than a supplementary player.  

Porzingis wasn't a bust here because he was a bad basketball player, he was a bust here because we paid him to be a GREAT basketball player and the second most important piece of the franchise and he couldn't be.  I have a ton of doubt that Ayton has what it takes to be the second most important piece of any franchise and that's how he's getting paid.

I really can’t agree with this. KP was baaaaaad here. He hurt our offense and then he hurt our defense and then he hurt our locker room. Yes, he also hurt our cap. But that didn’t make him a bad player. Playing bad did.
