Lakers star Deandre Ayton’s excited to join the Lakers, but it’s his Luka Doncic praise that got fans buzzing. Ayton shared his thoughts on joining Luka in LA as he said Luka is a once-in-a-generation player and he’s happy to be his teammate.

Lakers general manager Rob Pelinka knows that new starting center Deandre Ayton can considerably raise his team's ceiling.

Wanting to make the other person happy is an essential part of any healthy relationship. That's a lesson that Dallas Mavericks general manager Nico Harrison never learned before trading away franchise cornerstone Luka Dončić, but Rob Pelinka isn't about to make that same mistake now that Luka is a Los Angeles Laker.
