IMO the bloom is already.off that rose. WAY off. Of course Ayton could suddenly turn into a player he has never been, but odds are low no matter where he goes. His motor is too low and his self-focus is too pervasive to be seen as a good shot to bloom imo.
Not sure I saw these kind of assumptions anywhere. In majority I would think people are aware of who Ayton is. As he is, he would still be by far better center Lakers had last season and would be cost free. Lakers have other holes to patch up with their few assets.
