The Los Angeles Lakers desperately needed a center this offseason. And after Brook Lopez and Myles Turner went elsewhere, signing the recently bought-out Deandre Ayton felt like the only way to salvage an otherwise quiet offseason.

B ronny James is gearing up for Summer League in the NBA, and this is the first time the young guard has been heard from since the regular season ended. Naturally, he keeps a low profile, but was asked about rumors surrounding his father, LeBron James.

LeBron's agent Rich Paul has previously told ESPN that "LeBron wants to compete for a championship" and that remains his priority. With how close he is to retirement and their recent addition of Luka Dončić, LeBron's approach and the Lakers approach may no longer match.
