No legs on AD's jump shot.... cuz he has no "big bruising center" to help keep him fresh - Dwight BEAT UP Joker, & Davis hit the 3pt knock out punch (dominated him cuz he was FRESH in the 4th). Rob wasn't watching... CLEARLY. 🙀🙀🙀
@nickwarren7854 klay gave you a 0pt game and has been awful all year, but of course you will say nothin. Probably wanted us to trade for him too smh. Everyone is allowed to go through a slump
If Gabe Vincent can play like how he played in Miami then he should be the starting SG because he's a better defender than DLO and Austin and that offensively he doesn't need to do much out there. The starting lineup would look like with Jarred Vanderbilt injured DLO, Vincent, Rui, Lebron, AD with Austin as 6 man. It's a good mix of offense and defense.
The Lakers have more youth and unproven talent on the team than when LeBron first came to L.A. it's time to see what the young bucks got and with the staggered minutes the 2nd unit won't look as bad as you think maybe at times but by the all-star break the bench will be fine maybe not championship ready but experience is the best teacher
That interview, which i did like, is the Lakers way of getting ahead of the drama. It's kind of a way of softening the media before the actual media day. We know the questions palinka is about to face.
I pushed bringing D’Lo or AR off the Bench the entire Offseason however, D’Lo/AR/Rui/LBJ/AD is Our Best Group and JJ is gone show His value as a Coach by Maximizing the Full Potential of the 1st Group while, Developing that 2nd Group and finding the Right Rotations within His Movement Offense and hopefully a Hard Playing/Working Defense!!! Ideally this Offensive Minded 1st Group can give US 15-20 Points and a Nice Lead by the time Our 1st Bench Player comes in @ the 6ish Minute Mark of the 1st Quarter.
To what Daniel said as far as depth, of course if AD or Bron get hurt it’s gonna be hard to replace them. What team out there can truly replace their best and/or 2nd best player if they get hurt? You could probably fix some of the bench depth by inserting Max into starting lineup for 20 or so minutes a game. That’s what preseason is for, to experiment a bit.
Yall trying to go straight 5 in and 5 out, and we are not like that. We have a decent 8 man rotation with GV, Max, Knect, Jax/CK. We’re ok. We’re little, but not scrubs.
Their 5 best players ... 1 per position, so that is the front office, management etc ... the guards could be interchangeable I think. Reaves might be as good now or even better than Dlo at some things.
I suspect this team is deeper than a lot of people might think. Remember, Darvin Ham had a reputation for leaving talented players on the bench too long or not putting them in the game at all. Max Christy was one of those types of players. Let's hope the LAkers can learn from past mistakes.
THEY HAD SUCH A LONG LAY OFF AND STILL THEY ARE UNFIT. LAST YEAR SAME AS WELL. THIS IS THE PROBLEM IF YOUR SUPPORTING CAST IS NOT FIT TO EVEN START THE SEASON. YOU NEED EVERYONE TO BE READY TO GO. THEY JUST SUCK TO BE HONEST.
@lordwiz2236 Lebron is just different. Everyone can't be Lebron. That dude genetics is crazy. I agree that a 40 year old is making these young guys look bad
How do people think Wemby is going to win DPOY when his team will be bad defensively? They say that every year about Lakers. AD has been good every year but no awards.
Many I'm a dreamer, but I always believe in the kids, underdogs, and supposedly weak roster till they prove they are not up for it. I believe that the ineptitude of past benches were more tactical than ability. Give Pelinka a break. Let's see what Reddick does with this team first.
I think JJ coming out & saying the starting lineup was him kinda letting them know hes not making the same mistakes as Ham.. the rite players are gonna be playing.. JJ is already more organized/ prepared than Ham was😂
Crazy to think Jared Vanderbilt has only really played half a season for us total for as much as we talk about him. We don’t even know what a full season of Vando looks like. He was constantly hurt when we got him and is why he was bounced around. We need to trade him while his value is as high as it will probably ever be. He is just fragile
My friend there is a whole scout team on each team the second they hit the court there schemes are gonna be exposed it’s up to the other team to stop them it’s not football I get where you’re coming from but I actually like the confidence he is coming in with
Said it already but if Vando wasn't better long ago he's not going to get better without surgery We can count him out for the season if you ask me. Hope I'm wrong
Young guys are going to have a chance to earn minutes. In football it is working for the Buffalo Bills. Why add old vets who get injured all the time because they have recognizable names?
They've had 3 years to take care of the center position and did nothing. Hopefully, Davis can man up this year and hold the big physical men of the league smh
JJ is just gassing up everything lol. All the coaches do it and when the season starts they regret it. “Regret” may not be the right word. Also the depth isn’t there let’s be real.
Truly see this squad as a better version of 22-23 western conference final team due to coaching changes and the better understandings of each players game. This team likely makes the finals and loses to boston in 6
But hope I wrong and lakers win it all but off current roster and coaching talent I gotta stick with winning western conference and losing in finals after 6 in a Boston 4 wins lakers 2 wins
He wanted more money. This is according to him. When he didn't get it he took another offer that he felt gave him more opportunity and put him more in control. His main gig now is "working" for Los Angeles Lakers Network, and he says they want to be a competitor of LakersNation. He also has his own "personal" channel called "The SportsHeadlines Show." He said between his job working at a high school, running his personal channel, and the hours put in for LakersNation he essentially needed to be compensated more for his work at LakersNation, or it "made no sense" to continue. He didn't say how much money he asked for in negotiations but said "It wasn't outrageous like $20,000 a month or something." And so he's gone.
@heraldfbubhEO21 He made an explanation video. Essentially suggested he needed LakersNation to perhaps be more like a full time job OR they'd need to pay him to make the hours worth his while. He suggested the only reason he agreed to his duties at LN was because when he accepted more work he considered it a promotion but he was getting by during the season on a few hours sleep some nights. He says this new Lakers Channel...though he works for someone...is his to do as he pleases with. "Complete creative and content control." He's his own boss. He also kind of took a sideways swipe at Trevor saying "That's another thing. Trevor doesn't own LakersNation, he's JUST the face of it." I guess suggesting Trevor is simply an employee while he...Sean...is now something a bit more. And so it goes....
Why LN treating A.R like he's god and he's not just like D.L they both trash and that's why no one want DL but the Lakers. we are not winning a championship with bot of them on the team. SMH
This is the same starting lineup that hasn’t been able to get past the Nuggets. AD’s shot left him when he built his body up to become a full time center. The Lakers have to be more than a play in team for AD to be considered an MVP candidate. We have plenty of guards and wings on our roster. JJ has to mix and match them well because most are not 2 way players. We are thin at the big positions. IMHO Dalton Khnecht makes Austin Expendable. There Austin needs to be included in trade talks.
Just to put things in perspective and show how delusional fans are. Could Rui, Dlo or AR start for Boston or Denver? Meaningbcould they take a starting spot from players on the top teams. The answer is no.
will LEzesty ramone shames play defense this upomin season? how many live games will he walk away frum when the scrubbs are gettin curb stomped out of the arena? will he do his annual floppin an travelin tour around the association? how many teammates will he throw under the bus this upcomin season? how much juice will he use? he'll never be in 🐐 talk.
That’s crazy thing is we all warned rob perlika to trade jarred and wood and they are currently the only injured right now 😂😂😂 rob needs to be fired . I don’t understand rob mindset.
Offense will be amazing but all i see is Antman, d fox, devin Booker , dame abusing Austin reaves 😂 but maybe he proves me wrong and he improved defensively lol

Yes sir
@@jackshannon4695 At best...play in team & 1st round exit once again. 😜
Honestly I see this with the coaching staff being a better version of the western conference run.
Jj not emphasizing defense in the starters will be something to watch for.
The bench looks fairly weak as well
You sound like you don’t understand Coaching…. How Surprising 🎉😂😂
Let's go Lakers
Sad so many D'Lo haters. 💜💛
Defend 0 points in a playoff game and choking 2 years in a row I dare you.....
@nickwarren7854 klay gave you a 0pt game and has been awful all year, but of course you will say nothin. Probably wanted us to trade for him too smh. Everyone is allowed to go through a slump
Excited to see lineup reveal!
Its the same starting 5 nothing new
Yeah I know. JJ actually revealed it tho. Didn’t keep the lineup a mystery like ham.
@@jaredlaker4life343 fatcs
@@jaredlaker4life343 A mystery. 😑😆Same trash lineup as last year going nowhere one more year. 😜
Imo when they ask AD to save everyone on defense, of course, his shooting will not be as efficient
Vando is a matchup or injury starter. Rui is a starter. Max is a 2 guard not a 3. Rebounds are a must.
If Gabe Vincent can play like how he played in Miami then he should be the starting SG because he's a better defender than DLO and Austin and that offensively he doesn't need to do much out there. The starting lineup would look like with Jarred Vanderbilt injured DLO, Vincent, Rui, Lebron, AD with Austin as 6 man. It's a good mix of offense and defense.

Game 🟣🟡 Time!!!
Can’t be overstated how weak our bench looks after the starting lineup announcement
The Lakers have more youth and unproven talent on the team than when LeBron first came to L.A. it's time to see what the young bucks got and with the staggered minutes the 2nd unit won't look as bad as you think maybe at times but by the all-star break the bench will be fine maybe not championship ready but experience is the best teacher
@@scorpionvseverybody6524 your not winning in the west with unproven talent
I’ve played against this years lakers multiple times in 2K25, total ass once the bench comes in
Uummm video games arent that same as real life far as we know you suck at 2K
Bruh we’re not stopping anyone on defense with this starting 5 lol
That interview, which i did like, is the Lakers way of getting ahead of the drama. It's kind of a way of softening the media before the actual media day. We know the questions palinka is about to face.
19:08 what happened to Trevor’s voice when he said “we’ll see”? He got real southern, real quick. 😂
Trevor, it was like JJ was saying we want to lay down a foundation, which is something the team has lacked, which is stability
JJ laying a foundation on quicksand. 😑Trash Lakers going nowhere once again this year.🤣
Excited to see new guys like Dalton Knecht & Koloko play & blend their chemistry w/ LebJ & AD!
I pushed bringing D’Lo or AR off the Bench the entire Offseason however, D’Lo/AR/Rui/LBJ/AD is Our Best Group and JJ is gone show His value as a Coach by Maximizing the Full Potential of the 1st Group while, Developing that 2nd Group and finding the Right Rotations within His Movement Offense and hopefully a Hard Playing/Working Defense!!!
Ideally this Offensive Minded 1st Group can give US 15-20 Points and a Nice Lead by the time Our 1st Bench Player comes in @ the 6ish Minute Mark of the 1st Quarter.

Not too many teams have won a championship when their best player is 39
First Notification squad‼️‼️🔥🔥
Look at our thin ass rotation tho.. I can't believe Pelinka was asleep all summer long
Trevor always talking about a trade at the deadline that never happens
Yall trying to go straight 5 in and 5 out, and we are not like that. We have a decent 8 man rotation with GV, Max, Knect, Jax/CK. We’re ok. We’re little, but not scrubs.
Where can i buy that shirt Trevor?
Can We get the original podcast link
Our record will determine if he's in the conversation. It's a popularity contest 1st. That's why it's always the guy on the best team.
16:39 AD definitely knew about it him not putting him in the Top 10. You know someone brought that up. That was just to not discuss nonsense.
Clearly, most individual awards nowadays are awarded based on team success and who the media likes.
As opposed to previous years, lol?
@@MrOctober44 lmao😭😂
Their 5 best players ... 1 per position, so that is the front office, management etc ... the guards could be interchangeable I think. Reaves might be as good now or even better than Dlo at some things.
AD will be in the MVP conversation as is.... if the Lakers are a top 4 seed....not meandering in the play-in mix...
I suspect this team is deeper than a lot of people might think. Remember, Darvin Ham had a reputation for leaving talented players on the bench too long or not putting them in the game at all. Max Christy was one of those types of players. Let's hope the LAkers can learn from past mistakes.
Deep ? Lmao
When your second unit is max christie, gabe vincent and cam reddish, you can’t call yourself deep
Lakers are winning championship. Give them trophy now
Trash Lakers ain't even winning the IST this season. 🙄Quit the delusions already. 🤣
@@kaferrat we make bet. How much
THEY HAD SUCH A LONG LAY OFF AND STILL THEY ARE UNFIT. LAST YEAR SAME AS WELL. THIS IS THE PROBLEM IF YOUR SUPPORTING CAST IS NOT FIT TO EVEN START THE SEASON. YOU NEED EVERYONE TO BE READY TO GO. THEY JUST SUCK TO BE HONEST.
Exactly 💯. LBJ being 40 is still more fitter than these kids 😅
@lordwiz2236 Lebron is just different. Everyone can't be Lebron. That dude genetics is crazy. I agree that a 40 year old is making these young guys look bad
If max christie, vando, gabe, are healthy our bench will be underrated
How do people think Wemby is going to win DPOY when his team will be bad defensively? They say that every year about Lakers. AD has been good every year but no awards.
Hey Trevor, for your #1 question, refer to my 1st comment 😂
Many I'm a dreamer, but I always believe in the kids, underdogs, and supposedly weak roster till they prove they are not up for it. I believe that the ineptitude of past benches were more tactical than ability. Give Pelinka a break. Let's see what Reddick does with this team first.
I think JJ coming out & saying the starting lineup was him kinda letting them know hes not making the same mistakes as Ham.. the rite players are gonna be playing.. JJ is already more organized/ prepared than Ham was😂
next ring incoming, undefeated season otw
AD has had the opportunity to be the MVP of the team he has to step up and do it.
AD is "delicate". 🙄He has no drive to be the best player on any team.😑😆
“He has no drive to be the best player on any team” 🎯 definitely what history has shown!
Crazy to think Jared Vanderbilt has only really played half a season for us total for as much as we talk about him. We don’t even know what a full season of Vando looks like. He was constantly hurt when we got him and is why he was bounced around. We need to trade him while his value is as high as it will probably ever be. He is just fragile
Reddick should be discreet with his plans so the rest of the league keeps guessing
My friend there is a whole scout team on each team the second they hit the court there schemes are gonna be exposed it’s up to the other team to stop them it’s not football
I get where you’re coming from but I actually like the confidence he is coming in with
This team looks scary bad if you take LeBron off it
Said it already but if Vando wasn't better long ago he's not going to get better without surgery
We can count him out for the season if you ask me.
Hope I'm wrong
Young guys are going to have a chance to earn minutes. In football it is working for the Buffalo Bills. Why add old vets who get injured all the time because they have recognizable names?
A.R and Dlo need to go asap
They've had 3 years to take care of the center position and did nothing. Hopefully, Davis can man up this year and hold the big physical men of the league smh

Is he not?
NO HES NOT HE NEVER COACHED A BASKETBALL TEAM IN HIS LIFE!
@@andraingram6953Nothing proves your point like writing in all capital letters.

Fine as a person
Kinda sucks as an athlete though
😂

What ?😢😮
Let Lebron avg 10 assists and Rui avg 20 pts
Trade dlo and rui for kessler
JJ is just gassing up everything lol. All the coaches do it and when the season starts they regret it. “Regret” may not be the right word. Also the depth isn’t there let’s be real.
Umm
Bruh Vando gonna be out for the season face the facts
Vanderbilt is a weak link this year!! Find someone else please because I’m already tired of hearing his name 🏀❤️🏀

Then we will be expecting same result as last season
Different coaching Different offensive schemes and defenses. I see this as a better version of the 2022 23 team.
If no team want to get D'lo, waive him n get Schroder or Danny green or any other point guard like garland or porter jr
And where are you paying them from ? We already near cap. Waiver is not easy bruh !
Dlo is better than those guys Danny green was so bad he got death threats and Schroeder lmao
Thank god you're not the GM, smh

This is the same starting lineup that outplayed Denver’s starting lineup. It was never about the starting lineup. It’s the bench players
In fairness, Denver has gotten worse with losing KCP and who knows what Murray's health will be.

I know this is not popular but why havent we traded Vanderbilt? How many games has he played as a Laker? Potential is useless without availability.
What do you think you're getting for him?
The moment we get rid of D-Lo for a real big or a wing, the better we get.
Good luck with that. Everyone wants to add a wing.
