The Lakers are long
Rob Pelinka GOAT GM
Wow they still got Russ ? He’s trash 🗑
They can trade LeBron now, since they have such a complete team.
He's old, doesn't play defense, is too ball dominant, can't play off ball and is too injury prone.
Maybe they can trade him for a 2nd round pick 🤷🏽
We should sign Boogie for back up
Starting:
Russell, Reaves, Bron, Wood, AD
Bench:
Gabe, Prince, Rui, Vando, Hayes
Back up:
Max & Reddish
This team is stacked Lakers should be at least top 3 in the west 😂
Atp the only move left is Stanley Johnson…a player who’s gonna be ok being played as needed…he has good basketball iq and is a defensive pest…he can also switch onto multiple positions just in case one of the new guys don’t work out…also improved shooting from 3
Wenyen Gabriel would also be a low risk high reward move to make…he has chemistry already plus if they finally allow him to play the 4 I believe he would make huge strides defensively
They don't have everything!!! They don't have a solution for Denver and the Joker! They might have issues with Wood later! and lastly…. chemistry!😢 and we haven't really talked about injuries as well!😢
Good job
Dawg Jared V is not a small forward LMFAOOO bron the small forward Vando the 4.
Lets be serious lakers not losing a game 😂
Exciting, 18th on the way. Coach is x factor
Bro if you do not stop talking about Doug Christie right now. He’s a 3rd string for now
I love the roster. I believe the lakers are the deepest team in the league, PERIOD !!!
dlo can play sg too.
rui can play sf too.
jhs is listed as a combo guard.
if wood shows that he can defend well, i strongly belive this should be the line up:
pg: austin
sg: dlo
sf: lebron
pf: wood ( or ad for play in to avoid injuries)
c: AD (playoffs for sure)
forward rotation is rui, vando, wood can take C when ad is resting… a few mins for hayes here too.
guard rotation is gabe V, max, lil bit of Jhs,
we need more guard depth in the 15 though.
dlo said in his warrior days that he wishes to play sg more, he didn't play it initially with lakers coz Kobe (rip) did.
reaves since he began basketball was a pg and he said in an interview that he liked what he did around the rest of the year when he was PG and will look to play that position more…
this could solve playoffs trouble for dlo and we can make plays more effectively .
this season the greatest strength is gonna be the 3pt shooting
defense would be amazing when ad, wood(potentially), bron, and vando are on court
i'm hoping rui improves his defense.
i would love to see Vando take a guard position when the team needs defense…
like
pg: austin ( getting better as a defender)
sg: vando
sf: bron
pf: wood
c: davis
this would be the best defense out there…
also except for vando all of these guys can drop a 20+ ( yes reaves will improve)
this is the best laker squad i have seen, 2020 was different but this is great too.
for the jokic problem: put Wood on him, let him hound him, block shots
that frees up AD to defend others and make jokic and others shiver…
this is what lakers did in 2020, mcgee or dwight were on jokic
but seeing jokic party so much i don't think that he will pose a problem coz he will be out of shape…
they also lost some key rotation guys….
kcp getting old.
real threat would be the celtics this time
but in every way we are better than them
as for the suns we will have to see….
they have a good shooting team, vando would need to play significant minutes in such a matchup…
lakers would be the top 3 seed in the west for sure….
lets go lakers
Whoa whoa lebron is definitely mobile enough to guard the perimeter it’s just that he shouldn’t have to to match up with a wing player all the time through the regular season. He can still be a good defender when needed
Low risk, high reward. IF Wood works out well, like REALLY well, then it makes another player expendable. Say… Hachimura maybe. A 2 for 1 trade to raise the teams floor/ceiling would make sense to alleviate minutes crunch and improve the team.
Then a DLO + Rui for Kyrie trade is more palatable.
Then in 2 years when Bron retires, maybe Giannis or another star might want to join Irving and Davis in LA. Maybe… LoL
Blessings from Taiwan😇🥰
Go Lakers!
This is championship Roster 💪
What did Rui Hachimura do to yall?? People have to put more respect on his name!! Plays great defense on wing and the post. Is a complete bucket as well. Should be starting over vanderbilt tbh
lets get him to 100K !!
Two years ago it was Malik Monk, last year it was Lonnie Walker and this year it will be Cam Reddish
