    Seems like a really good addition for the Lakers. It was exactly what they needed.

    Tbh they were fine in the regular season and they had one of the best defense even without a big.

    Adding Ayton and re-signing Hayes are pretty good moves. Will be curious to see how this translates for them.

    Maybe LeBron can get him to man up and reach his potential…whatever that is. LeBron has an amazing record of getting the most out of the guys on his teams, hoping I can respect Ayton yet. So far has just been disappointing and he doesn’t really seem bothered by it. Every player can’t be KG intensity but man, for what some of these clowns make they should care a whole lot more.

    Lakers are going to have to win games scoring 215 points. Who’s playing defense on this roster?!

      The defense held up fine last season with essentially the same team. The problem was more about depth, you can’t just play 5-6 guys in the playoffs and expect the team to hold up.
