ESPN's Brian Windhorst made a great point on First Take this morning. Since the Bucks and Lakers were two of the teams competing to sign the now free agent Deandre Ayton, the Lakers have less competition when it comes to signing Ayton.

According to ESPN insider Brian Windhorst, the Lakers were going toe-to-toe in the race to sign Deandre Ayton: "The Lakers were competing with the Bucks for Deandre Ayton, and so this leaves Deandre Ayton to go to the Lakers to be their starting center as a possible ramification of this," Windhorst said.

The Bucks’ move for Myles Turner clears the way for the Lakers to sign Deandre Ayton as their starting center in NBA Free Agency.
