Will this stop them from being able to get Ayton? If so then I didn't understand this for LA.

I think that would imply a Lopez or Clint signing, but I don't see it. Lakers Nation just said they are waiting on the Ayton situation. Gonna have to move more pieces to get him now. Unless he signs for nearly a vet minimum.

Yeah, Haynes also saying like Ayton is almost a done deal for Lakers. I guess we'll see soon enough.

He should still be in Memphis but Kleiman stupidly didn't pick up his option (which he admitted). LaRavia broke out last season as a quality wing player.

I like this for the Lakers. Solid, solid wing who will know how to play around Luka and LeBron and who they can easily get the best out of. This is a smart and underrated signing.

Dont know who tf he is but at that price he can't be a disastrous signing. The only Laker moves people are gonna pay attention too are the ones involving centers.

Right? Draft heads went rounds arguing about Jake. Is he Adam Morrison or Matt Harpring?
