Barkley: Based on Ayton s past, I am cautious about him. The Lakers are not as good as the Rockets& Thunder& Nuggets

Recently, Barkley participated in the "Dan Patrick Show" and looked forward to the western pattern of the new season.

Speaking of whether Ayton can solve the Lakers' problem, he said: "They are getting bigger. But their No. 2 player is about to be 41 or 42 years old. Can he stay healthy? Can Luca stay in good shape? As for Ayton, I have to rely on his past performance, and that's not very good. They need a big player. But are they better than the Rockets, the Thunder, the Nuggets? I don't think so. No."
