    The Los Angeles Lakers will improve significantly with the addition of Finney-Smith, making them capable of competing with any team in the Western Conference. However, the Denver Nuggets remain a formidable obstacle, having beaten the Lakers in 11 out of their last 12 matchups since December 2022. Nikola Jokić and Jamal Murray have consistently dominated these games, highlighting a key weakness for the Lakers. While DFS's defensive abilities address the challenge posed by Murray, Jokić continues to overpower Anthony Davis. To achieve their championship aspirations, the Lakers must prioritize finding a solution for Jokić. Acquiring a center who can effectively support Davis in guarding the reigning MVP is crucial for the Lakers to overcome the Nuggets and contend for the NBA Finals.

    • DFS is an Athletic “3&D Wing” that can play 3/4 or 5 in Small Ball Line Ups. My Best Comparison is a 30/31 Year Old Markieff Morris with Cam Reddish’s Athletic Ability that has some Hood 🥷Brotha in Him so He is not gone let anyone Punk/Bully His Teammates.
    • Shake Milton is a 6’5 Streaky Shooter that can Handle the Ball & is More Athletic than D’Lo.
    • We just need a Young Athletic Big Body Center - Kessler however, if They want 2-1sts for Him then, Nik Richards.

      🤔 With the improvement of Max Christie defense and DFS trade acquisition I like our chances against Denver. AD vs Joker matchup is 🔑. A healthy Jaxson Hayes as a defender during non AD minutes isn’t a bad thing. He’s developed well from last season to now.

      @williampaschal7694 20 дней назад +1

      I don't care who they get. LeBron is not going to let them outshine him. That's why the point guard is always the one to go first. LeBron brings the ball down so they don't need a guard. Just someone to play defense and give him the ball. He's just playing for stats and he played one game with his son. All you're going to hear the rest of the year is he's 40 and still great. There's no more championships coming. And that's the truth.

    Hang on to the #1 picks until an established player, that moves the needle, becomes available. Williams, Vikacek, Kessler, Valencunas are only incrementally better that what weve already got on the roster. If you need a back up center that can play 12 - 14 minutes, clean the boards and score inside, Dwight Howard has petitioned the Lakers to sign him and DeMarcus Cousins is still out there somewhere. Reeves has the point, locked down

    • @lakersdigest

    This is a very Bad trade, Brooklyn Net won this trade and the two Lakers additions aren't a fix. DFS may have played good in Brooklyn but he will not be the same playing with Lebron James. Now D-Low will go-off in Brooklyn since he don't have to play with Lebron James and will be averaging about 20 points a game in Brooklyn. Everyone seems to forget young players don't play well with Lebron James.
