What about the Lakers getting Ayton, but without Ayton s Trail Blazers?

Ayton, unexpectedly, went to the Lakers.

Upgrade in place.

Ayton's advantages and disadvantages are very clear.

The No. 1 pick in 2018. Really seven feet tall. Mid-range shots, finishing, offensive rebounds, defensive rebounds, basket protection, and assisting defense are all good, and you can do it when you need to switch defenses. The double-double of mobile has not had a 55% shooting percentage of 14 points and 10 rebounds per game in his career so far.

However, it depends on emotions: when you are not in high mood, you will retreat and not carry the basket, and when you pick-and-roll, you can cut inside and get an empty call, but when you see the inside crowded, you choose to jump shots. One of the players in the NBA who doesn't like to make free throws the most? When he can't integrate into offense and defense, he will leave the game. For example, when he can't stand Murray and Porter Jr. in the 2023 playoffs, he will remain motionless under the basket and be restrained.

But his faults were cured:

Two years after spending his ordinary career, he was taken by Paul in the third grade and his emotions were flying. He beat the Lakers in the first round in 2021, with 65 points and 37 rebounds in the first three games. Jokic swept the MVP season 4-0. The Clippers played the best series of their careers against Zubac, and they also had 22 points and 19 rebounds in the first game of the 2021 Finals.

With Paul and Booker on the road to winning, he can be full of energy even when facing Davis, Jokic, Zubac and Giannis: the next year will be the third leader of the team who won 64 in the regular season.

If you fall into a boring environment, Ayton will be bored; someone passes the ball to him, urges him, encourages him, reminds him - Coach Monty and Paul even yells at him - he can be the third leader of a regular season 60+ win, finals team.

Now he meets Luca and LeBron.

The best thing for the Lakers is: upgrade almost on the spot, with no cost.

The Lakers did not get Mark Williams in spring, but the bad thing was that they missed their trump card. From then on, everyone knows, "Oh, are you willing to pay for Marvel's Kneckett and the future first round pick? We will bargain according to this in the future!" Now the Lakers have got Ayton, upgraded from Hayes on the spot, and still retained the bargaining chips.

Think from another perspective: The Lakers exchanged Ayton and Laravia with electric fans - it looks good, right?

Luca/Vincent/Browne

Reeves/Milton

Hachimura/Kneckett

LeBron/Laravia

Aiton/Klebe

Reserve the chips, who will make up for it on the wing.

In Ayton's first playoff in his career, he passed LeBron. Ayton's most brilliant year in his regular season career was defeated by Luca.

Now he is going to partner with these two people.

Luca would like the pick-and-roll guys: Levry and Gafford, both of whom had a trick. Ayton's pick-and-roll choices are more than those two: Besides, Ayton is still the No. 1 pick in the same class,

Speaking of No. 1 pick... Ayton should be the ninth No. 1 pick in cooperation with LeBron?

By the way, Ayton wrote before when he was cut: After the Trail Blazers let Ayton go, the center position is probably temporarily: Klingen starts, Yang Hansen's second team.

Current lineup:

Scudt is still rough, but he is very talented after all - the world's top speed bounce - worth watching for another year. Sharp, with excellent basketball shooting, excellent running and jumping speed, lacks strength, and can break through with the ball - only has few threats when there is no ball, and lacks passes when there is no ball.

These two thunderbolt boys are waiting to be polished and need support.

Affodyya, the shooting ability is very comprehensive, the comprehensive and intelligent are everywhere, the periphery single defense and assisted defense are good, and the ball can be passed with vision, which is excellent in integration into the flow. Have a sense of competition, work hard. Mobility, solid, single defense. But the talent for running and jumping is average, and there is no hard solution.

Kamara, an all-around defensive monster. Flexible and tough. It’s good to hold the ball without the ball. Slim, quick, flexible, able to wrestle with Jokic and Giannis. Can cut inward, can end, and will be three points. Perfect 3D. Lack of hard solution.

In this way, the Trail Blazers have two Pili backcourts that need to be polished, and two reasonable front lines that are diligent but not hard to solve: just have a support machine.

Klingen, the rebounds and blocks are excellent, and single defense and assisted defense are also good. The offense is to cover the brick wall monster.

Yang Hansen probably needs better support, and sets a difference with Klingen: if his support can be integrated with Affodyya's move and the speed of the two-guard, it would be great.
