Jaxson Hayes was re-signed on a 1-year deal. A lot of people online like him as a backup.

I’m still feeling the buzz after the DeAndre Ayton news. I listened to the podcast with Jovan Buha about it just to continue feeling the happiness. People online feel relieved that we finally have a center. I feel relieved too.

I went to a Portland Blazers community online just to get an idea of how they felt when DeAndre Ayton was bought out. Were they sad? Were they happy? Surprisingly, some were sad he left. I was surprised because there was so much negative talk about his lack of effort. Why would they be sad he left? They mentioned that they’ll miss his goofiness and antics. And that he is really a good guy. The consensus was that they’ll miss him and that they hate how he went to the Lakers because they hate the Lakers.
