FIRST TAKE | Stephen A Breaking: Trail Blazers could trade DeAndre Ayton to Lakers for Austin Reaves

overall draft pick thereon is finalizing a contract buy out with the Blazers to become a free agent aon is a 27yeold center who was part of the Sun’s finals run in 2021 may have heard Lakers are in the market for a center david is DeAndre Aon the missing piece for LA no he’s he’s not like they’re not going to find a missing piece in free agency or these midlevel guys they get to you know bolster their bench de Aiden can help the guys like the centers that they are looking for they can help the thing that’s going to elevate the Lakers to a championship level team is Luca Donches being a top three to top five player in the league now we saw the potential for what Luka Don could do with that team when he came in but he was still hurt he was still not in his best shape they played their absolute best defensively for three months and then petered out what they need is a full season of full MVP level Luca Donches because that’s going to determine if they’re championship team or not all of these guys in the march is are going to be great he’s going to have a lob threat they can have people that can you know JJ Red’s not playing the same five guys for a second half in uh in NBA playoff game but what they need and the only thing that’s going to elevate them to championship level is Luca Donches starting in October in shape getting them off to the races as a real Western Conference contender perk do andre the Lakers make sense or no it does make sense and I believe that is a Beyonce moment for us upgrading at the center position for what they had last year but I will say this about DeAndre Aon the word around the league is not good about DeAndre Aon the Portland Trail Blazers were happy as hell that they can’t that they got to this point with him right now he’s been labeled as a diva as a councelor in the locker room and if I’m Deon I got to have a moment i got to have someone speak the real to me because we’re talking about a former number one pick that didn’t work out with his team that that didn’t work out with uh with the Phoenix Suns a team that drafted him number one and now you get to the Portland trail blazers that were absolutely like happy as hell to to get him in the trade they welcomed him with open arms they thought he was going to be one of those guys for the future and now you get to this point right and see what happen is is that when you have guys like the you believe that things can happen to you and I believe that he’s one situation away the next situation or next organization that he lands to even if it’s the Lakers he has to change a lot about himself or he will find his career being shortened and he will find himself out of the league but can canon help the Lakers absolutely because Luca Thri threat deandre Aon can’t be a live threat when DeAndre Aon is locked in he’s focused he’s losing himself in the team he’s a hell of a player double double the problem is that hasn’t been the case he came off selfish unreliable it was so many stories that were put out there last season that I just couldn’t believe he was backed up in traffic something happened where he couldn’t get out of his driveway i was like “Man come on man.” Like what are we talking about here we are to this point and by the way last but not least he was playing for a former player char Bills is respected in the NBA brotherhood by everyone if you can’t get along and play for Chy Bills I don’t know who in the hell else you could play for perk is right Windy he probably Deond should go somewhere where it doesn’t snow so he can get out of his driveway cuz that was obviously an issue last year but within the Rich Paul statement there was a part of this that LeBron said on the mind the game podcast his podcast with Steve Nash that the ring chasing is not something that he embraces yet he wants to still win a championship now I’m sure he wants to bring in guys that can help him win a championship is the Andre Aon one of them he can he can help i mean I think if you look at the you know the Aon story and the Laker story two separate stories the the the Blazers traded for DeAndreon two years ago they watched him play for a season and in the two following drafts they drafted centers actions overs okay i mean and so Donan Clingan is now their franchise center and they they drafted Yang Hansen who’s the first Chinese player to be drafted in 18 years is actually 7 fo1 he’s actually one of the more fascinating players to watch out of this draft uh so you know they’re very and he he has a $5 million contract and the Blazers in June decided that there was no way they could trade it so they they ended up buying him out so that said you realize the Lakers did not have a I mean I don’t want to insult the Andre Aiden i think he’s a very good guy i like him a lot personally i don’t want to install Jackson Hayes but Jackson Hayes is not a starting center in the NBA and at that at at the end of last season the Lakers were basically playing LeBron and Dorian Finny Smith two forwards as centers instead of playing Jackson Hay so if you have no starting center and you have a guy who averages he averages 14 and 10 last year I mean he will play minutes he will get rebounds and he will he will help you out i don’t think he’s demonstrate he can be a championship center to this point in his career but if you’re going from no center or you’re you’re literally going to play with just forwards out there and Ruchamur as well playing center to that yeah that helps but I don’t think he’s going to be the number one option what ended up happening yesterday the Lakers had Dori and Finny Smith opt out of his contract they’ve been negotiating with Dori and Finny Smith for weeks they did not come to terms of the contract and now I think there’s a a very good chance Dorian Fmith’s going to be leaving the Lakers ok and so that means they have $14 million that they can spend in one bite on a center and there’s some options out there beyond DeAndre Aen brook Lopez is one for example that they can but but I predict by first take tomorrow the Lakers will have a center and by first take on Friday I think the Lakers might have multiple centers perk just back to you on one thing on this when we’re looking through the prism of the Lakers getting a center as Brian just mentioned maybe one may or definitely one maybe two are we looking at it through the prism of who plays the best with Luca or who plays the best with the Lakers cuuse those are two different things obviously well you’re looking through the lens of who plays best with Luca and to be honest with you I understand I’m not taking anything away from Brook Lopez but I don’t believe he’s the fit luca thrives well with a with an athletic big a big that’s going to be a live thread at the basket a big that’s going to clean the glass up like a fresh bottle of Windex that’s not who Brook Lopez is brook Lopez is a guy that stretches the floor and shoot a ton of threes you need a dynamic roller so that when Lucas coming off that pick and roll he’s probing he’s either getting downhill to his floatter to the lob or the the dynamic roller is sucking in the defense where he’s making those skip passes to the corner of wing for wide open threes so do I think Rook Lopez is the answer no but I just wonder what is out there on the market for the Lakers i believe that if you could get engage the Andre Aon he is a better fit for Luca than a Brook Lopez well I mean when he said by tomorrow we might know who the probably know who the Laker center is and I also guarantee you that by tomorrow we will not be saying that the Lakers are now championship contenders based on who that center is that that cup is just too for that decision like we’re just not we’re not going to be here saying that they have found the missing piece the missing pieces not anywhere around in the league right now the missing pieces in their locker room just being a better team with what you have well but everything you’re saying I’m going to keep coming back David to the Rich Paul statement that LeBron wants to compete for a championship this year is there a missing piece whether it’s in their locker room or outside of their locker room to get them to compete for a championship this year luka Donchic like that’s what it is it’s just Luca Donch being the best player that’s why you drafted him you drafted him to be a better version of the guy you got now it was magical for long stretches the defense played above their scale out of their mind for about a month and a half in that uh during the last stretch of that season but you need to look in that lock room and say Luka Donch is the best player jj Redck needs to be a little bit of a better coach and they need to figure out how to get their defense to be sustainable for an entire season not just February to April and make sure that they can you know be a competitors in the West right now we can go all through the trade machines we can go all through every single one of these uh free agents we’re not going to say they found the missing link they found something special it’s already there because that’s why you made that move in February well and and that to me is an amazing thought go ahead i I just want to point out the Lakers finished third in the West last year they were and I know the difference between three and seven wasn’t that great they were the number three seed in the West last year and and in the playoffs JJ Redck only trusted five players i know this because you only played five players in the second half of a vital playoff game so if they can add two or three players which they can do they have free agent money they have expiring contracts to trade they have some draft capital if they can add two or three players and have a better and healthier Luka Donchic with LeBron James coming back this team can contend in the West am I favoring them over Oklahoma City i am not but this team is not coming from nothing they have a lot going for them they’re the third best team in the West but they I mean they third team in the west they were not the third best team in the West though but they have no choice but to add personnel to their roster because when you look at the two top dogs in the Western Conference right now you have the defending champs in the Oklahoma City Thunder they’re deeper than the Pacific Ocean you have the Houston Rockers that just added Kevin Durent and kept and kept their entire core pieces that matter they’re deeper than the Atlantic Ocean so when you’re talking about the Lakers yes Luca Donchic has to be great we get that D but the problem is is that you got to have the personnel went justed and talked about Finny Smith finny Smith they couldn’t come to an agreement one could argue he was he was best 3d guy last year you’re probably about to lose him so you have to have depth in order to compete with Oklahoma City in order to compete with the Houston Rockets who both are well coach and both have uh superstars now on their team and SGA and Kevin Durant you got to go add personnel to your roster it just can’t be Luke and LeBron James and you better go out there and get some wings because that is the most important position in the NBA and we just saw it in the NBA finals this past season you know David you said something very interesting that the missing pieces in their locker room with Luca lebron famously about Kevin Love fit in or fit out yeah maybe this is all just a message to Luca i’m reading into it of course i’m guessing i’m speculating who knows but maybe this is as much a message to Luca as it is to the Lakers to add this piece or that piece because as Brian mentioned they were the three seed in the Western Conference they have Luca for an offseason and a whole season now maybe that’s all this really is because he’s not getting a new deal off of this he’s probably not getting traded off of this but he can get that guy who’s the best player even better coming up Big Ben with some big thoughts on Patrick Maholmes and Aaron Rogers hello xin chào tất cả

  1. Deandre is fukkin diva! Dude got schooled by Luka a few years ago in the west finals! AR15 plays all games and has shown hes him!

  2. What they dont realize. The lakers have no players, no one man or 2 men can do it anymore.. TEAM BALL IS NOW THE FORMULA

  3. 0:21 This guy has no idea what he’s talking about. Lakers Desperately NEED a CENTER. There is a former Number 1 pick who could revitalize his with the lakers.

  4. Not LESPN campaigning for lakers yet again cause LeBron needs more help but won’t take a pay cut and is unsure about lakers lmao 😂

  5. So, Ayton helped the Suns get to the finals 3 or 4 yrs ago. He definitely can help, and the Lakers with Reeves, Lebron, and Luka do not need him to dominate scoring. Ayton can shoot and be a lob treat. All of a sudden, everyone is questioning Luka who just led a Dallas team to the finals. Smh

  6. Luka needs free agent Chris Boucher from the raptors. That guy has a Porsche level motor and is lob city. He’s just somewhat inconsistent on D But he’s the guy – honestly. Report that !

  7. Ayton was not a locker room cancer in Portland. He was well liked bu all. The Blazers are a dysfunctional organization run by idiots who think they're smarter than other management teams. They didn't use him properly in their crap offense. He'll thrive in L.A.

  8. Also, for those unaware, Portland is a bigass hill and does not have the setup for snowpocalypse. No one in Oregon does on the West side of the Cascades.
