BREAKING: Deandre Ayton chooses LEBRON

[FultzNationRISE]

Reminds me of the Drummond signing. This guy will have no impact and will be hated by half the fanbase by midseason

Drummond played well for them that year in the playoffs in his role. He wasnt the reason they lost.

It was all of Lebron's other teammates that were responsible for that.

I honestly thought they should look into bringing him back again this year as a backup center.

Can't wait for Ayton to become labeled some scrub when the Lakers are underperforming.

Decent signing, but I honestly don't think it moves the needle that much for LA.

Ayton is apparantly one of the best lob and dunk finishers in the league.

People seem to overlook that and just focus on his defense, but Luka will make him eat.

They still need some defense, but Ayton can at least get rebounds.

Great mid-range scorer as well. They'll figure it out.

he's decent mobile and did anchor the defense that led the suns to the finals. it's his mental breakdowns, likely due to low/poor bball iq.

i have a difficult time seeing him respond well to lebron or luka however, both vocal players that will let the world know their frustrations with ayton.

Ayton doesn't like to roll to the rim. Curious to see if they can get him to do it.

More curious to see if they'll take away his Xbox controllers

Funny coming from thompson who never lived up to where he was drafted either

I know you’ve known DA for a while, and you’ve been a huge fan. But why don’t you think these past few seasons have worked out the way you had hoped it had? Mychal Thompson: Yeah, I thought when he was drafted at No. 1 [in 2018] that he was going to be an All-Star center for many years. So he’s underachieved with his abilities. I think he knows that. And I think he’s out to prove now that he’s a Laker that he is worth the risk and that he will play up to people’s and my expectations of him. He has a whole lot more talent than I ever had, so I think he should be way better of a Laker than I ever was. I expect him to be that.” – via SportsKeeda

In before he becomes the typical LeBron bailout scapegoat for a failed season
