All Things Ayton

DA's an idiot. But possessing a "small amount of marijuana" should not be a crime, period. Let him do what he wants on his personal time.

Funny enough my pain management doc told me to pack my gummies in a vitamin bottle and no one will give a shit. He was right. . I’ve also flown with disposable vapes without issue.

Okay, but, even that should be completely legal. The moral panic about small amounts of weed possession is the real idiot part.

I'll get off my soapbox, but this is just a pet peeve of mine. Too many people have criminal records and have had their lives negatively impacted just for carrying around a tiny amount of this stuff at the wrong time. It's silly.

Fair, but until it is actually legal, it’s a pretty dumb thing to do

I mean it was freaking Russia…. lol. There’s definitely places I’d never try, like Japan which is uber strict. Which is a bummer because I’d love to go sone time.

Jaxson Hayes is forcing the Lakers to realize something they never wanted to
https://lakeshowlife.com/jaxson-hayes-f ... -wanted-to

After failing to make an in-season upgrade, the front office tried again during the offseason. Deandre Ayton answered the bat signal crying out for a starting big man in Los Angeles. Unfortunately for the Lakers, the former first overall pick has not looked the part of a superhero. Ayton has not even sufficed as a proper sidekick.

Meanwhile, Hayes has improved and exceeded expectations following a rough playoff series against the Minnesota Timberwolves in 2025. The chemistry with Doncic has grown. The energy and effort has been consistent. When asked to do more, the Lakers backup center has delivered.


Jaxson Hayes is still the go-to center option for the Lakers this season
Ayton does start at center for the Lakers. Make no mistake about it, that is a measure to prevent further disaster at this point. The motor and effort levels of the big man have already been questionable throughout the season. Imagine how much worse things could be for Los Angeles if they openly demoted him to the bench. That is a scenario that could warrant flat-out visible quitting.

The Lakers will likely continue to ensure Ayton's spot in the starters for this reason. Even so, the increase in closing games with Hayes or without a center altogether has not been a coincidence.


Unfortunately for the Lakers, Ayton has proven the good will that was earned in his honeymoon phase with the team has quickly disappeared due to the emergence of old habits since. Los Angeles should be quietly excited to sever ties with their center in the offseason.

Until then, the Lakers better hope the injury that forced Hayes to leave Sunday night's matchup against the Boston Celtics is not serious. It was his right ankle that forced the backup big to leave after only five minutes played.

Before the early exit against Boston, Hayes had seen an uptick in minutes during the 10 games leading up to the contest. Assuming the Lakers' high-flying center is back sooner than later, without a serious injury limiting him, seeing that trend continue should not surprise anyone.

I had to actually go and find the full article because I thought this was the Babylon Bee. But it's actually legit, and I just don't have words...

There's also an ego that is needed to thrive on the NBA stage. Similar to James' "CHOSEN 1" tattoo that spans from shoulder to shoulder, Ayton has "DOMINAYTON" inked in jagged capital letters across his upper back.

The Lakers have stoked that ego, too: Rob Pelinka, team president of basketball operations and general manager, commissioned a black T-shirt with a gold screen print depicting half of a lion's face and half of Ayton's face that he presented to the 27-year-old. Members of the training staff wrap Ayton's water bottle in athletic tape and write "DA's Crunk Juice -- Drink this to unleash the beast" in black marker on it before games.

I thought some parody account was just making those kinds of jokes about Ayton. I couldn't actually tell if those quotes and blips were true until I saw the article. I'm still kind of in disbelief.

Come on, man. We have the words. 272 pages of them to be exact.

Yeah, they're going reverse Chuck Norris hard in that reddit thread. They peel his grapes for him, take the crust off his sandwiches, etc.

This is going to be the 3rd team that runs Ayton out of town.
