Luka Doncic Hosting Lakers Minicamp in Slovenia Before Training Camp
Reaves said Ayton was a top-10 big man when he was in a good head space and pushed back on fans celebrating the trade.
- The Los Angeles Lakers traded DeAndre Ayton to the Washington Wizards, with the center set to serve as a bench player for the first time after an inconsistent season.
- Lakers head coach JJ Redick indicated during the playoffs he could not play Ayton, while the center disappeared in too many games, prompting the franchise to prioritize a better starting center.
- Austin Reaves defended Ayton on a recent podcast, saying when in a good headspace last year, the big man was a "top-10 big in the league."
- Quentin Grimes expressed optimism about the new-look Lakers, praising Walker Kessler's rim protection and the chemistry developed with new additions Sexton and Mamukelashvili at minicamp.
- The Lakers enter the new season with +3500 odds to win the NBA title, though analysts question their defensive viability after ranking 20th last year against Western contenders like the Oklahoma City Thunder.
