Immediately after the news broke, Lakers icon Magic Johnson couldn't wait to share his opinions about the organization's move. Instead of going the more traditional 280-character tweeting route, Johnson hilariously screenshotted an Instagram post from Bleacher Report that showed Ayton in a Lakers jersey alongside Doncic and LeBron James.

Ayton can give Luka Dončić the instant lob threat that he has craved ever since the Lakers acquired him in February. Ayton can give the Lakers easy buckets partly because LeBron James prides himself on making the right pass. Ayton can give the Lakers the steady rim protection they lacked in the playoffs after trading Anthony Davis.
