    That’s a funny stat, but honestly only Anthony Davis and Kyrie Irving were star-level when they played with him. The rest were either washed, role players, or busts.

    This is great for those of us that want the Lakers to fail. Ayton will add to the existing tension they have.

    I can't even think of who they are.

    Shaq
    Dwight
    Bogut
    Oden
    Joe Smith

    Who else? The Cavs traded Bennett and Wiggins before they every played with LBJ. Are they including LeBron playing with himself?

    Unfortunately he is still much better than anyone the lakers would have been starting. People seem to have this weird misconception that every overpaid player is bad

    The Blazers got Far East Jokic, Hansen Yang, that's ready to contribute right away and also have a backup big I'm guessing.

    The Lakers fans will turn on him by December. He'll put up some 20-10 games but the motor issues will become glaringly apparent very quickly.

    He's never failed to average 10 rebounds. Lakers getting him is a great deal for them, but he has to accept his job is pick and roll, rebound and play D. Not so optimistic about the D part.

    Basically be Clint Capela

    Luka has Domni-Ayton now, let's find out what he thinks.

    You need to put more respec on Capela's name. Clint has a career +3.0 on/off, while lineups with Ayton on the floor were -0.2 throughout his career.
