Today, Lakers new aid Ayton attended the press conference and accepted an interview.

Q: "When you were at the Suns, I remember everyone was optimistic about you, especially the Suns that reached the Finals. To be honest, when I was at the Trail Blazers, I hardly watched you play. So my question is, how can we see DeAndre Ayton who played at the Suns? How did you reappear with the Lakers this year during that period?"

Q: "You actually got the answer. I'm already here."

Q: "Some former teammates and coaches have said that your talent is undeniable, but sometimes it will be preserved. Questions about motivation. How do you respond to such criticism? "

Aiton: "I won't respond to this statement. Speaking of motivation - I'm willing to do anything for the team. The goal is to win, and that's why the past has left me stagnant. That's why you didn't see that finals version of me, because the environment I was in was focused on the growth and development of players, not winning. That's why I came here. I think I'm about to be 27 years old and it's time to be part of the winning conversation again before my career ends. I feel that it's still time."
