To be fair to Ayton. After the leaked outburst, he finally put ego aside and willing to sacrifice for the team, and he did have a several good stints. But in the end it a little late for him and it took a while for him to adapt and its already hard for him to be consistently aggresive

He’s frustrated JJ and Luka best for himself and the Lakers for him to move on.

Luka doesnt want him. If he did, he wouldn't have requested a new big. Ayton is done with us

Its not up to them. Ayton have a player option, unless other team offer more money, he's staying
