According to LA Sports Hub’s Brian Sampson, the Lakers could reunite their recently added big man, Deandre Ayton, with a 32-year-old former Rookie of the Year to round out their roster.

Deandre Ayton reportedly had a messy tenure that ultimately led to the Portland Trail Blazers buying out his contract, but his new squad could help put some of his past issues behind him.

Ayton's addition makes the Lakers better on paper. But it will be what happens when no one is watching that demonstrates his biggest impact.
