I think we have to think about it like this . I remember when we first made the trade to get Dlo and how excited we fans were and how it worked and we made a push for the playoffs . I remembered what I believe the big key we’re missing . I think what makes Dlo make sense in a line up is Vando . It’s how they came to us together in the trade and it’s just who defensively hid weaknesses . So If we continue to start DLo we need to think about it as a packaged deal Dlo must be paired with Vando at all times : (DLo + Vando ) = Starter If not Dlo must be benched
Good take. But if Lakers go into the season with him we need to move either Rui or Vando because neither of those guys deserves to be 9 on the depth chart -- and if we're gonna play Max, that's the best case scenario.
If We don’t make any changes, We have to Start/Play, Gabe/AR or D’Lo/MaxC bcuz of the Par to Subpar Defense of AR & D’Lo!!! And, You’re Right - We don’t want to lose D’Lo for nothing @ the End of the Season but, If We wait til the Trade Deadline to move D’Lo, that can completely destroy whatever Chemistry ⚛️ We’ve created. Lastly, I think AR can eventually Start @ PG however, He needs to spend 1-2 Years working on His Handles (Ex. Chec out Steph’s or Kyrie’s Ball Handling Drills/Skills). The Ball 🏀 has to be on a String in The NBA!!!
Agree. Vincent Reeves AD Rui LBJ . Dlo Christie Knecht Vando Hayes. Until a trade happens. If the lakers could trade Russel + Reddish & 1 1st for Bruce Brown.
D lo set a Lakers record last season. It’s not D Lo that needs to be benched. Austin plays like a great 6th man. He is a modern day Manu. Austin also is terrible at spacing the floor and needs a defender on the floor with him. We should trade Austin before his value reverts to undrafted again.
It has to be Reaves, Vincent and Rui. Russell comes off the bench with Vando. Lakers and Coach JJ have not mentioned Russell one time all summer. Russell and James are oil and water. The league knows this. Russell needs to re-invent himself as a scorer off the bench. Ant, you nailed it when you called Delo a mope. And at the end of the day, Lakers still need a big Big.
@@perimeter-yb5pc Ant Irwin finally figured it out. All the Lakers have been talking about concerning DLo is trading him. LBJ appears to want him gone. The Lakers can't trade him because nobody wants him. Russell, great shooter decent ballhandler, but below average defense. Doesn't always hustle. Russell can play the point on a team going nowhere. he can get his numbers. If Russell wants a ring, he needs to change his game. Coach JJ is going to make Reaves a star, or not. That seems to be the plan. Gabe Vincent was brought in to play the point last year. It never happened. He will get his chance this year.
No, trade him for a BIG!!! He's gonna whine and cry all season off the bench.... 😭😭😭 Call up Orlando, they had the worst 3pt shooting in the league last year... they have 3 centers making 10+ mil on their roster (plus J Issaac). Go get Wendell Carter Jr, a stretch big, 37% 3pt that plays physical positional defense!!! 🙀🙀🙀 AD/LBJ will FEAST on chasedown blocks, and Davis will be able to play his natural game, ppl forget how much he can affect the perimeter because the Lakers have pigeon holed him into his current role. Anthony Davis is much more dynamic that that! 💯💯💯
@@_WEsTWooD while I agree with you, I think this is win - win... structure a package like Lo (no D cuz he plays none)/Hayes (or Reddish, their choice, or Wood rly but I'd rather keep him) and a 1st for Carter Jr & Cole Anthony. Orlando should clearly invest in the Wagner bros, they've got defwnsive minded guards KCP & Suggs to allow Diangela to help them where they suck... spacing/3pt shooting. 💯💯💯
Dlo is a good option for 6 man do to his scoring ability and lack of defense

Reaves is a much better 6th man

Nobody wants Dlo let alone giving up value. At the deadline someone might do a deal to upgrade shooting.

But Dlo is Steph 2.0 according to Dlo
Bro…benching our best shooter to watch Reaves chuck up shots is dumb asf
Austin Reaves shot 27% from 3 in the playoffs. Gabe and Max should start

@@perimeter-yb5pc What would that look like. what's the offer? Lakers need a big that can play enough to keep Lebron under 30 min. a game.

Orlando doesn’t want DLo. They’ve moved on. In fact, no team that plans on going far in the playoffs should want DLo. Pelinka sucks
