Total Pro Sports on MSNDeandre Ayton In Disbelief Over Teaming Up With Luka Doncic On The LakersDeandre Ayton and Luka Doncic began their NBA journeys in the same 2018 draft class. Ayton was the No. 1 overall pick selected by the Phoenix Suns. Doncic was picked third by the Atlanta Hawks and immediately traded to the Dallas Mavericks.
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.
