Lakers defense is gonna be comical bad unless they acquire multiple good wing defenders.

I think they’ll be a little better than you think on most nights when Ayton is locked in.


Keeping him locked in will be a problem though. Reddick has a challenge. Not only does he have to balance Lebrons ego, but he also has to not step on Ayton’s toes.

Him and Monty used to get into it all the time and it was difficult keeping his motor up. When that motor is high though, he’s a fantastic player. But I fear if JJ and Ayton clash the divide will be too big to overcome within the season.
