Are you going to drug Leon Rose first? He’s immediately hanging up the phone if Pelinka calls with that offer.

Just wait for the Lakers to rationalize Reaves, Rui and a 1st for Jokic

Dude, we got Ayton for free and Luka for AD, Bridges should come for exprlirings + 5 seconds!

Lol, Im kidding!!! But we should look to get a versatile wing now(someone "cheaper" than Bridges for sure).

Considering their lack of ANY playable bigs, this is definitely a solid grab. I strongly believe Luka played a huge factor in Ayton going there as lob threats thrive next to him. Defensively he's leagues below AD but still better then what they had so I can't hate it no matter how low I think of Ayton as a professional basketball player.

But I really hope he understands the pressure that comes with being in L.A and the media that follows them. Expectations are always sky high and they will eviscerate underperformers in a heartbeat. This might close the door on him getting a big contract ever again or open that baby right up, we'll have to see.

Now all of Ayton's issues will be shown to the country under the bright lights of the LA market. Terrific.

Lebron in particular will love playing with this guy.

Ayton has his weaknesses but it’s still a very good pickup.

A motivated Ayton playing for a playoff team is still a starting calibre center which is significantly better than whatever the hell they were running with last year.

I’d consider moving Reaves to the bench and inserting 3&D players at PG & the other wing spot to compliment Luka, LeBron & Ayton. Reaves will still play 32+ minutes but needs to play as much as possible away from Lebron & Luka to maximise impact.

This is a steal even if you think Ayton sucks.

He should have gone to the Pelicans or Brooklyn if he wanted to mail it in. One of the worst places to go if you aren’t going to play hard and doesn’t seem he makes much money off this either.
