    I’m so glad we have Max Christie because he can take the Donovan Mitchell’s or Ja’s meanwhile we can put DFS on the best wing player meanwhile having AD on the inside. If Vando ever gets back to his 2023 form, the Lakers could be a top 10 defense in the NBA

      @@bicholo You are right the offense would be clunky if Lebron or Reaves is out or not playing good, my only rebuttal would be that D’lo always underperforms in the playoffs anyways, so its not like we losing a lot of offense while we getting much better defense

    idiots on twitter saying ‘laker fans acting like they signed a dpoy’
    We all know he will be not as insane as vando on defense, it’s his experience,def iq and ability to guard multiple spots at a decent rate that makes them a better defensive unit overall, not to forget lakers need a tough enforcer for a long time
    Max Gabe and Reddish shown enough to trust them on the quicker guards, DFS is here to be mainly guard the forwards and play small ball 5
    This also means Bron and Rui can play more of their natural positions cus DFS can play 3 and 4

    • @LakerFilmRoom
      @LakerFilmRoom  2 дня назад +1

      No doubt about it. This is my hope as well. I focused on the non-AD minutes a bit more because I think that stretch of minutes is gonna be critical to the team's playoff success or failure. They're currently losing the LeBron minutes by 10 points per 100 possessions. Gotta shore that up and I see the DFS acquisition as being an attempt to do that as much as anything else. Excited about the potential alongside AD though as well, no doubt.

  • @jumbojoe3030
    @jumbojoe3030 2 дня назад

    Tbh I’m wondering how the lakers will incorporate vando when he’s healthy. I worry he won’t be a laker by the end of next season because he’s injury prone and an offensive liability. Even though vando is younger than DFS, I believe DFS is the final product. A veteran wing with a 3 point shot on top of his excellent defense. Plus if they can’t coexist on the court together because of their offense, I think that leaves vando as the odd man out.
