Deandre Ayton signs with the LA Lakers 2 year deal(1 player option).

No one in the NBA is dealing with Jokic and this ramped up Nuggets roster in my opinion. This move just keeps the Lakers competitive which is want a Luka and Bron team demands.

Stfu. Y'all say this shyt every year. Rooting for a Serbian cac over your own team. fukking clown

Laker fans think this is cute, but he still doesn't sleep.

There's nothing Ayton can do that wins the Lakers a chip. He isn't that guy and the Lakers aren't that team.

I get why they signed Ayton as he came cheap and is certainly a better option than what they had but they needed a big that catches lobs off the pick. Ayton loves doing that pick and pop mid range. World of difference between him and Gafford/Lively.

I have no idea why they just didn't go forward with the Mark Williams trade, especially if you're trying to compete with Bron still there

They didn’t have to give up any assets and got a starting 5. Sounds like a win to me for the Lakers.
