    I'm not comparing him to Capela. I'm saying the Lakers need him to be Capela.

    Ayton's personality and how he plays is nothing like Capela.

    This is why I'm glad he signed there. The idea of Ayton sacrificing any part of what he likes doing on either end of the court is totally laughable.

    Lakers went from trying to fix Christian Wood to trying to fix DeAndre Ayton.

    Member when Lebron was supposed to make something out of CWood?

    I'm not sure Ayton is better than Jaxson Hayes. The Lakers might be worse off just because of the assumption that Ayton should start and play significantly more minutes.

    If he does that he is going to make a ton of money, ALPI should be doing this.

    Not impressed. Steven Adams would beat him in a 3pt shooting contest.
