Lakers were on the verge of giving their MLE to 37 year old Brook Lopez or capela, to be a stop gap, and are now gonna luck their way into a 15/10 center who’s 26 lmfaooo incredible

Yes Which would potentially make me more open to a Wiggins deal but I guess that’s dead lol

Not one guy in the 2027 class gonna hit FA anyways lmfao they’ll all get their new deals before

Mostly everyone here will either be on the other side of 30 or just extend before they hit FA Jokic, KAT, Spida aren’t hitting the open market

You would think but they’d just sign Hayes and call it a summer 😂

Timeline is just Ayton watch rn lol

Monitoring other teams trade negotiations to maybe land someone instead of just doing it themselves 💔

I think I scrolled down too far😢

BREAKING: Deandre Ayton has agreed to sign with the Los Angeles Lakers, sources tell ESPN. Between Portland and L.A., Ayton will earn $34 million next season. Agents Nima Namakian of Innovate Sports and Bill Duffy of WME Sports reached the deal with Lakers president Rob Pelinka.

The Lakers find their starting center in Ayton, the 2018 No. 1 overall pick who is the only player in NBA history to average 15+ points and 60%+ shooting in the postseason. He has career averages of 16.4 points and 10.5 rebounds on 59% shooting over the last seven seasons.

So the Lakers letting DFS walk and opening up their full MLE resulted in signings of Ayton and LaRavia.
