Top 3 seed guaranteed.
Ayton has never played with gifted passers like Luka and Bron. He may legitimately make an all star game from all of the easy baskets. Box out and score. Thats his primary job.

Lmao Chris Paul??? Maybe you have heard of that guy….did you also know that the most games Ayton has played is 71 and that was his rookie season? I think the loss of DFS is going to be felt more than the addition of Ayton. DFS was their best perimeter defender. Ayton can defend in space and isnt a great shot blocker.

This was a bait post lol.
Ayton was bored with CP trying to feed him easy buckets all game. Ayton might actually love it in LA though, if there is one thing LeBron and Luka teams get to do, it’s stand around and do nothing for 20 seconds of the shot clock.

Lol yea no doubt! With James, Luka, and Reaves, how many touches a game do you think Ayton will get? 10 at the most? If that. I cant see him being happy with having a primary role of rebounder and defender while doing nothing offensively other than setting screens and catching lobs.

And "Top Talent" always has teams paying them NOT to play for them right?

Due to new surroundings and playing for WC competitor he'll try a little harder to play thru it, set some barely serviceable screens, etc in the early stretch.
As the year wears on though it'll be a whole different story. If he thinks the criticisms were bad in PHX just wait until the LA media and fans start to sniff out his lack of efforting.

Lol Lakers fans will have a hoot when they see the kinda revolutionary no contact screens Ayton sets

At one point i was hopping he would land in Dallas but after reading about his lack of effort and locker room issues i think we lucked out with Gafford and Lively.

Talent in basketball is one thing,
character is something else.
