According to previous reports, Ayton will join the Los Angeles Lakers with a two-year, $16.6 million contract.

Today, the famous reporter Bobby Marks talked about this on the show "Get Up", and Marks said: "You have to know that the Lakers were the third-ranked team in the West last year. Although they lost in that game, many people predicted that they would go far in the playoffs. So it was still a good Lakers team, and they now brought in one of the best centers in the market. If Ayton was a free agent before being bought out, he would probably be the second best center in the free market after Turner. So it was an upgrade for the Lakers."

Then Marks said: "We had been talking about them needing a center, and now they got it. And the next key is: What's next for the Lakers? Because the depth of their backcourt is very weak now."
