New Los Angeles Lakers center Deandre Ayton received positive reviews from Portland Trail Blazers general manager Joe Cronin.

Deandre Ayton reportedly had a messy tenure that ultimately led to the Portland Trail Blazers buying out his contract, but his new squad could help put some of his past issues behind him.

Between his buyout with Portland and his new contract with the Lakers, Ayton will reportedly make $33.7 million next season.
