"This feels like a video game, like somebody set it up" — Deandre Ayton on teaming up with Luka Doncic in LA originally appeared on Basketball Network.

Former Trail Blazers center Deandre Ayton was introduced as a new member of the Los Angeles Lakers this week. During the press conference, Ayton said he learned a lot during his two seasons in Portland but was looking forward to winning with the Lakers.

After a deadline deal for Mark Williams fell through, L.A. was left severely undermanned in the frontcourt, and that proved to be their undoing in the playoffs as they got bullied by Rudy Gobert and the Timberwolves in the first round.

The Lakers are still figuring out what to do with LeBron James. In this proposed deal they send him to Cleveland for one last homecoming while also building for Luka Doncic's future in LA.
