Rui, Reaves and an unprotected FRP to New Orleans for Dejounte Murray. THEN ship Gabe, Hayes, Knecht(and another small contract if math dictates)and the other FRP to Indiana for Myles Turner. Murray, DFS, BRON, AD, Myles Turner, Vando off the bench. That’s a devastating lineup
Love the section and hype on Thompson! There is a recent debate on rockets fan base on his role after Jabari’s return and on the long term, would love to hear your opinion on this. Should he become a starter? Who would he replace on starting 5
The issue I see with the Lakers adding another center is the fact that I don’t think that Bron can play 30 plus minutes at the 3 defending out in the perimeter. I think that it is too much to ask out of a 40 year old LeBron. If that’s the route they decide to go. Then maybe do it on the Bron bench minutes, where AD can get out to the level and use his length and athleticism in the perimeter.
Old Cavs fan... I worry about rebounding, and lack of depth at center. Way too many O boards given up due to use of zone D. A better backup 5, maybe Val from Wiz would allow Mobley and Wade to stay on perimeter on offence and defence.
Lakers having Gabe Vincent, Max Christie, Vando and DFS defensively is a major upgrade from last year and earlier this year. All they need is a center to solidify a playoff defense. Whether you keep Gabe or turn him into Bruce Brown, you’ll have him next to Max, Vando and DFS. With Reaves Bron and AD carrying the offense. Or you could trade Austin, Rui and Gabe for Lavine but then you have 7 guys. That’s it. One of em a 40 year old.
I love the podcast but come on guys, the wolves have had the 2nd best offense in the league the last 2 weeks. They figured out how to play efficient with Randle and they unlocked Jaden Mcdaniels by playing him like a 4 and he has been scoring tremendously. Also with Mike scoring again and Rob coming off the bench being electric its great to see. I know you guys are pretty busy but the Timberwolves have been scoring pretty well lately. They really look like they are turning a corner with Julius Randle taking less shots and he knows what he has to do to help them win.
@ season is about trends, also if you make adjustments that’s also how the season and teams do better/worse most teams aren’t what they were at the beginning of the season. Especially ones that traded a top 3 center in the league lol
The Cavs were missing Evan Mobly for 5 games that included the first loss to the Rockets. The Cavs second loss to the Rockets was Evan first game back and he looked rusty
This is the only show to honestly talk about AD wanting a center being about beating Denver. It’s so obvious. They lost to the same team 2 years in a row. Jokic said the only time he struggled was when the lakers had 3 centers. Wolves did it last year. Kessler and AD, Robert Williams and AD, Myles Turner and AD. Any of those happen and LA beats Denver.
Sneaky comp for Amen Thompson’s ceiling: This off season he said the player he studies the most on the offensive end is SGA. He could potentially develop to be a taller SGA offensively while also being the best wing defender in the league. He has the ability to be crafty while finding already. He has a sneaky good mid ranger that could definitely develop as well. If his handle continues to develop, he has the athleticism to start and stop like SGA as well. It unlikely but he could legitimately be a taller mashup of SGA and Ja morant even without their okay ability to shoot. Bringing up MVP potential isn’t a stretch except for the fact that his prime will aline with wemby’s.
All-time defender that’s about it tho bro and unfortunately that will probably even be undermined as long as wemby’s healthy. Olympic like athleticism can only translate but so much as the worst 3pt shooter in the league
@@JasonBrendan-td4qb I guess I’m confused he said nobody is talking about it and you said every national media member. I guess you mean everyone besides them?
@ I meant none of the national media believe the lakers are relevant despite them being in 5th. This time last year they were in 9th. Two years ago they were in 13th place. There doesn’t seem to be any belief from the media that the lakers are anywhere close to contending. The way they talk about them, they might as well be in 9th or 13th.
Labron: Hey Anthony, when you talk to the media, say you want a center to help you. If I do it, everyone will say “Labron needs help again” so I need you to start sending the message to the front office. AD: “I got you bron bron, did I also tell you how much I love you?
Thank you that’s what I’ve been saying they have LeBron and ad they just need to be close in the 4th and you live with the results. It’s clear ad wants a center it makes him comfortable damn all this well the numbers shows he’s better a center the man on the court wants a center you’ve already paid him a fortune go make him comfortable
Why cant people admit how awful Joker is on defense ESPECIALLY this game. He literally was given no effort and got outplayed by Gobert. ITS OKAT TO SAY THAT LEGS. It was HIS DEFENSE the twolves totally exposed.
They should shop Christie, he has performed well during this stretch, Rui needs to be traded as well, keep Vanderbilt. But trade Rui,Christie,Gabe,jhs, reddish,1st rounder for Jerami Grant & Robert Williams.
Lakers best bet would be trading for DeJounte Murray and a back up big rather than Valancunas or Kessler. Murray helps you defensively from a guard perspective. If you're able to have Reaves, Murray, Bron, and AD you have some more versatility there.
Dude is glazing JJJ heavyy lol. Dude is a foul machine, just a bigger wendell carter jr. He was awful for us in FIBA play as well and got exposed. His DPOY should have gone to Anthony Davis

Jokic to Lakers for Lebron. Save Jokic carrier.
Best NBA podcast out there. No filler, no clickbait, just straight NBA analytics. Thanks guys!
Appreciate that!
And we really appreciate you2@@ALLCITY_NBA
Nba analytics is why the game sucks. Nerds ruined the sport
Best NBA pod out there. Thanks guys.
Great episode guys and god bless 🙏🏼
Love the section and hype on Thompson!

Tim Legoat did an amazing breakdown of the laker team, this what the ppl need
nothing better in the world better than him talking basketball
Good show guys
I didn’t listen past the half (couldn’t suffer it but great game call Tim!
Love this podcast but the sound is just bad and choppy so often 😅

so the GOAT, very unrealistic but as a rockets fan I’ll take it
All-time defender that’s about it tho bro and unfortunately that will probably even be undermined as long as wemby’s healthy. Olympic like athleticism can only translate but so much as the worst 3pt shooter in the league
Little early and too raw to predict
I think sky’s the limit for the Thompson twins
He's closer to Aaron Gordon than sga
Finally some Lakers talk on the Small Market Podcast 😂😂😂 LETS GO LAKERS 💛💜💪🏼
They need someone bigger to guard Jokic. Has everyone forgotten how the last 2 playoffs ended for the Lakers?
It’s intentional ignorance. Every national media member is being disingenuous about the lakers. It’s been like this for 2 years.
@@JasonBrendan-td4qb except they literally talked about this on the podcast. But sure make up whatever narratives you want
@@brodrickbaker this is the all ball pod bro. Of course this show talked about it.

* LeBron
Jajajaja
@ two fucks. 👍🏿
The Grizzlies were losing without Morant last season...when he got hurt this season they started losing again
No-one is going to take Beal with that contract and injury.
Thank you that’s what I’ve been saying they have LeBron and ad they just need to be close in the 4th and you live with the results.

Every team needs to trade so they can make a run for a title
Gordon should have guarded Randle. Malone is awful at adjusting
Teams out their want an arm and a leg plus more ...yea, perhaps both arms !!!😅😂
Why cant people admit how awful Joker is on defense ESPECIALLY this game. He literally was given no effort and got outplayed by Gobert. ITS OKAT TO SAY THAT LEGS. It was HIS DEFENSE the twolves totally exposed.
Nahh, but trade him in the offseason and get in this loaded draft.
WE NEED MORE GUARD HELP MORE SCORING
Yes they Need to trade Bron..
Lay off the drugs hater😂... LeBron still starting in the all-star game and demanding max money at 40yrs old
Your troll game is soft.
Amen Thompson is Jimmy Butler 2.0.. maybe better than that..
Kawhi
More like Shawn Marion!
They should shop Christie, he has performed well during this stretch, Rui needs to be traded as well, keep Vanderbilt. But trade Rui,Christie,Gabe,jhs, reddish,1st rounder for Jerami Grant & Robert Williams.

Why did the Lakers let go of Dwight Howard and JaVale McGee then? lol...Dwight can still help the Lakers!
He washed
Dwight got black listed for being ....'different'
Lakers won't make any trades and play the Nuggets in round 1 and lose.
Dude is glazing JJJ heavyy lol. Dude is a foul machine, just a bigger wendell carter jr. He was awful for us in FIBA play as well and got exposed. His DPOY should have gone to Anthony Davis
That was more of Steve Kerr being a horrible international coach than anything.
I agree especially with regards to the DPOY.
You are right but he's gotten a lot better on account of his youth and work ethic
You don't know basketball, stop talking please. And players get better.
stop talking about the mid lakers and fix your microphone
Trade mics. Lol
Franz Wagner to LA
Are you sniffing gas?
