Contenders with Ayton ????ππππππππππππ

Ayton is a great pick but not enough for a ring.

I don’t get the Idea why Rob is not doing everything to build a Contender around Luka…HE is now the face of LA not Lebron anymore…not unless the new Ownership has other Plans

Dont hype this fool. he is not good..There is a reason why the Suns and Blazers let him go.

Haliburton just hit game winner/tie in every shot and yet you still mentioned Kawhi as scariest player in the playoffs
@darylpaulk
July 4, 2025 at 12:38 am
Kawhi, maybe healthy 2 years in a row… Maybe. James Harden, in the money season , the playoffs………..πΆβπ«οΈπΆβπ«οΈπΆβπ«οΈ. You could argue that the Nuggets were a hamstring from winning game 7….like an achilles from a very possible loss in the Championship game 7.π€·πΎββοΈ

You can see why steph is the most overrated player of all time and it ain’t even close. Wouldn’t have even made the playoffs without butler

Ayton will gain 200lbs from Lukas diet plan and will turn to Prime Shaq in LA π₯
@horacejohnson1730
July 4, 2025 at 1:16 am
“Nah”…. I don’t think adding Ayton is going to make Lakers win a title. That team needs a deep bench too.

This doesnβt matter, Ja still fine in the West
@eddisonkolnmeier-schneedeu6763
July 4, 2025 at 1:38 am
Absolutely No. Ayton is a “Slow Giant,” and can’t shoot. So the LAL will have same issues as last season. Best option is to trade LJ and start rebuilding…

Reality says Larry Bird back injury and all would still rip up LeBron James today from three point laws
@CraigCharley
July 4, 2025 at 1:45 am
Jabbar still can score over LeBron level
@Jahkeems
July 4, 2025 at 1:47 am
These same guys were just saying we’d be in trouble if Ayton signed with someone else. And now, he sucks?
@garymorrigan7915

Well, at least now, they have someone to blame whenever they lose.ππ

Steph Curry is at a serious disadvantage. No 2-Guard that averages 14 points per game as a 3 Level Scorer himself.

Yaβll had Anthony Davis! He was way better than Aton ππ
