LAKERS add new atletic, young and defensive players to surround Luka, Reaves & LeBron. I have always think Claxton is the perfect center to pair with Luka, atletic, rim-protector and a lob-threat, also very switchable in defense. Patrick Williams will be more a bet, he hasnt been consistent and has confidence problems, maybe a fresh start in another franchise with a solid role is what he needs, he has the abilities to be and elite 3&D in the league. Ayo will be the perfect 6th man, atletic, good scorer and good defensively. And Haywood hasnt played yet due a knee injury but he is a solid wing defender.

I would send Ayton to the bench and start Claxton for more balance in the lineup, but they would share minutes, something like Lively-Gafford duo playing 24 min each.

* PG LUKA | AYO

* SG REAVES | HIGHSMITH

* SF SMART | PATRICK

* PF LEBRON | LARAVIA

* CT CLAXTON | AYTON
