damn

finally

It's official

Expecting some more trades and signings to happen now on our side

But huge W that we got ayton for free hopefully he stays motivated

$34 f***ing million dollars for DeAndre Ayton are you s***ting me?!

It says between both, so his portland buyout contract combined with LA contract are paying him that

Don't worry fam, we all gucci

We are paying him ~$9m

Ayton has already played 36 mpg for a finals team before

7’0 7’6 wingspan and he’s still young and athletic

Big lob target for Doncic

Plus he makes midrange shots

we used the the rest of the mid level for him so it wasnt really free but agree bro

"After signing Ayton, the Lakers will continue their efforts to expand on frontcourt talent and fill out their roster around their two superstar talents.

Nick Richards, Yves Missi, Robert Williams III, and others have been on Lakers' radar as center targets"

And a player that JJ should HATE

Nick Richards, Yves Missi or Robert Williams III

Who should we trade for ??

Tbf some audio of JJ giving Ayton props in 2022 resurfaced a couple days ago

Probably, but for 8 million he should be able to fill a role I think

We definitely should find one more center though

Whoever we can get

I’d take Robert Williams

He's a great talent, but when he not hustling around the true sicko will shine through lol

I have high hopes he'll provide some of that athleticism for some exciting plays but he'll have to win me over during a full season

Highly doubt Rob trades for missi or RW3 now. Nick is probably the best bet

even though he's averaging 20 games played per season??

Nigga more injured than Embiid

Yeah but that one season with the Celtics he played so good

We might have to take into account that this all might have been Portlands doing

Ayton and Robert can rebound
