Is Ayton Overpaid? YES! but that doesn't make him a bad player nor a bad fit. This is the absolute maximum i would give up for Ayton if im the lakers. i don't give up Knecht or a first round pick. if any Portland fans say they would want Reaves they are just admitting their father left them. it wouldnt suprise me if portland said no because its the lakers but this is right about his value considering he is also going to be a FA after this year and could just leave.

Is 2 firsts for Cam johnson a over pay. probably, but without trading a decent player and also giving vando up i think 2 firsts gets it done.

Ochai Agbaji trade will go down in history as Rob pelinkas smartest trade if he pulled it off.

this line up surrounds luka with a healthy amount of athleticism defence and shooting lakers would still have Reaves and a tradeable first if the right deal was out there. Re signing Ayton the following year for half the money.

Lakers Lineup: PG: Luka/Brown SG: Reaves/Melton SF:Cam Johnson / Ochai Agbaji PF: Lebron/ DFS C Ayton / Hayes
