[KO’C] Hard to trust Deandre Ayton. Brings flakey effort and focus. Maybe the Lakers keep him in line, but no one’s been able to so far. Still, by far the best option on the market and they get him for cheap, so he’s easily worth the upside if you get a good stretch out of him.

This is probably sacrilegious to admit here but Lebron is my goat and I kinda want to see him get his fifth. So seeing Al getting another one before retiring would make the lakers winning less poisonous

I don’t understand how you can be a Celtics fan and root for the Lakers to tie the Celtics for most championships. This genuinely makes no sense to me whatsoever.

as a younger Celtics fan I never got to watch the battles with the lakers amd only caught Lebron’s last 2 seasons as a cav so I don’t have the same hate most of this sub does lol. my hate goes towards the heat

On one hand, I do think it’s a bit sacrilegious. BUT on the other hand, I hate you for this opinion.

Is it? Dude doesn’t shoot 3s, not really a lob threat and questionablel rim protection at best. Don’t get the fit at all… not my team tho, so whatever 😅

TheJaylenBrownNote

It was obvious that they were going to sign him, yes. It wasn’t a comment on his fit.

Also, Ayton has the third most lob dunks since he entered the league, so that’s a crazy thing to say.

good call, was clearly wrong there

They’re going to hype him up, talk about how great of an influence LeBron is going to be (see every other decent role player his team has signed with some type of baggage), and then realize real quick how bad of a fit it is.

The LA media is not kind (neither are we, but not the point). They’re going to eat that man alive.

This signing somehow got the same “front page news” format on ESPN as a team would get for winning a championship

If Ayton really goes to lakers, I feel that their next season be like: • Preseason: Geared up down to the capillaries.

•	Start of the Season: Still needs time to gel.
•	Midseason: Ayton only fit for tanking team or Shanghai Sharks
•	Playoffs: First-round exit.
•	Offseason: Attach a first-round pick just to ship Ayton out.

Least surprising signing of the off-season. They were desperate for a center. They still won’t contend in the west. Ayton is a talented guy but he’s a loser. Doesn’t have a drive or attitude to be great.

He’s been a bad effort guy forever. Maybe LeBron changes that, but I seriously doubt it.

Bailed out? Desperation signing who may help them win a few extra games during the regular season but doesn’t move the needle at all in terms of their ability to contend in that conference. There is a reason he has bounced around so often. He is a big name but plays small.

[Haynes] Free agent center DeAndre Ayton is expected to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, league sources tell me.
