>be Lakers
>desperately need rim protection, rebounding, and a center who gives a single damn
>watch Capela re-sign with Houston for pennies
>watch Jonas, Precious, even fkn Xavier Tillman go off the board
>“nah bros we got this”
>sign Deandre Ayton
>the same Ayton that:

>got run off by CP3 in Phoenix
>got *benched* by Portland, who actively tried to hide him on defense
>has the motor of a 2001 Honda Civic submerged in a lake
>blocks fewer shots than Trae Young
>defends like he’s allergic to contact and accountability
>routinely gets cooked by 6'5" G-League guards in drop coverage
>“he’s only 26 bro!”
>so is Jaxson Hayes and he plays like a rec league Tristan Thompson

now he’s your starting center
paid like a #1 pick
plays like a YMCA soft launch

All this while Bron is 40, Luka is checking out midgame, and Austin “Can’t Stay in Front” Reaves is your best perimeter defender
