@@SamDavisson yep that’s prob more important than a center rn but they didn’t even do it in the summer we just gotta hope their offense can click to offset their defense
I agree they need more guys like him fast with foot speed and a consistent shot to space the floor and reeves would be better at point guard anyways and bron should go back to small forward and let rui take on power forward on offense
DLO has played the exact same way his entire career, Rob and Jeanie should have done their homework. He can’t do what JJ wants for a whole game, he’s not that type of athlete.
Dlo's game play should be put in a thousand ways to fall asleep. Dude is too slow for a point guard and watching him is so boring. Dude cant even iso a slow big. With how fast and athletic PGs are in the NBA today, i dont see Dlo lasting long in the NBA once he leaves LA. He will probably get waived or end up in a bench role somewhere. Teams literally do not want him. They would rather pay an old Chris Paul than Dlo.
@ The problem is DLO’s decision making,his lack of defense, ball watching, he gets picked on, he doesn’t have lateral quickness, taking ill advised 3s without looking at the shot clock etc. He can score but it’s outweighed by his shortcomings. Jj wants a higher IQ with discipline and defense,he wants the scoring to come through the offense.
@@BigBankzSony'all wrong as hell D Lo Avgs 17 on a bad season.... He def can iso bigs, he isos guards and wings all the time, Who would rather pay an old Chris Paul...

Replacing your starting point guard with a non ball handling small forward is throwing spaghetti at the wall. LeBron is too old and turnover prone to be a point guard, Gabe is playing like a number 3 pg. sadly it’s the roster composition, fit, lack of 2 way players, acquiring injured and sick players because they’re cheap is the biggest issue. The Lakers FO is💀💀💀
@ That was 4 years ago on a far better team with a balanced roster. This is a dollar store roster with castoffs that other teams didn’t want. The team doesn’t win because they are called the Lakers, you need a balanced roster with skilled players who fit the system the coach is running
@@williamalexander9485 who do you recon the lakers should replace dlo with at the pg position and can defend at a high level consistently even on bad shooting nights.
@ A Dejounte Murray type. A steady do it all on both ends that can give you 20/6 that can shoot 36+% from 3 and can be a solid on ball defender, who doesn’t ball watch and lose his man. Until December when all of the summer free agents are eligible for trades🤷♂️but there’s an archetype
Man watching Dlo play should be put in a thousand ways to fall asleep. Dude is so boring to watch. Too slow and no flashy moves. Dlo cant even iso a slow big man.
i mean its good that he is emotional after 1 loss in the regular season, it shows that he is a very serious coach and not saying stuff like " we wont die with every game" like darvin ham did. He has a good sense of urgency about him which darvin lacked and it is so clear.
I love your optimism, but we need at least a trade ASAP. We are wasting time and potential with our aging players. I would rather have Dennis and Kessler than anyone rn
Doesn’t really matter if they “need” a trade right now or not. Fair trades for high level role players rarely if ever happen until around the trade deadline. They have enough to have a solid record until then, just have to make the right internal improvements.
Reddick needs to keep some of that closer to the vest. DLO is your best option at the 1. He plays really stiff legged and while he had a bad defensive stretch, you don't chuck the whole rotation based off a bad night. DLO can get hot and get those averages back up. Don't make DLO the scapegoat for bad roster construction -- if nothing else you want him to have max trade value. AR would make more sense to go back to the bench and being a 6th man.
season isn't over, but my pain has just begun. I need consistency and a building towards being a better team but it feels like every night is a roll of the dice on what team we get
JJ is coming to the realization of Jeanie and Robs incompetence. After the 3 win start I knew it was over when I saw Rob getting on the plain tagging along on the road trip giving his bad luck and dumb advice
Let's be honest, Dlo is not that guy to win a chip with. The hope was being young enough he would still improve and fix his weakness. They still have time to make it work, but history is proof.
Keep Lebron at point for the starting lineup and let D’lo come off the bench for the second unit , the second unit is loss and can never really get anything going or get into rhythm . Dalton Knecht is the main scorer in the second unit. I say bring Quincy in and see how that play out for the next few games
Start Cam and bench D'Lo. Let him shoot his way back into the rotation off the bench. We need production in that unit and Gabe sucks as a second string point guard.
The loud crowd is the young or fair weather crowd Installing a new system is going to take time to process and get comfortable for all of the players all the while having young guys and new guys coming in
DLo is lazy. He does not want to defend or get physical. Pelinka should look at options right now because GSW will certainly run us over. We do not have a consistent guard who can score and provide toughness. We need a player like KCP or Bruce Brown in that starting five.
DLo has been playing the same way he played/pratice in games over the summer…Like an And1 player all flash and no skill 😂. No Chris Berkely training or Lethal Area Control lmao 🤣
They need to trade everyone on the bench except Dalton and trade Dlo literally we seen him get mismatches all night and not score and he don’t have AD to get those inflated assists stats.
Lakers lack defenders and rebounders the two things that won them a 2020 chip. Current roster has no chance to win a chip. This isn’t 2008-2018 LeBron.
@ no shit. Rob blew up the team literally right after they win the championship like that team didn’t have the perfect formula. Bron from 2020 on should have been the Point Foward PG cause his athleticism is declining. They had him in the starting lineup with 3-D wings and rondo off the bench to stabilize the offense.
The guy is too immature, he's in the prime of his career getting paid the third most on the team and he has to be asked to put in more effort. The god dam season just started, like wtf are you doing?
Bench DLo or trade him…he obviously doesn’t want to play prolly hearing the trade rumors has caused this but we need a true point guard so Lebron doesn’t have to facilitate all the time
Lakers fans you can't keep living like this. DLO is inconsistent. And he is much more inconsistently bad than good. He's simply not worth that and the mood swings. He is so moody and it affects his game. All that coupled with the fact that he cannot play defense to save his life and he disappears anytime they play a good defense. Trade him. I don't care if he explodes for 30 points next game. Trade him. Maybe package him with injury prone Rui. Just get someone who can stay healthy and help LeBron and AD.
@lorenzozampighi3646 People always ask stupid questions like this. Who knows. Package him up and trade him for someone. There are a lot of players in the NBA. Who cares who it is. Just trade him along with other things. Stop trying to sound like some genius.
@@lorenzozampighi3646 for real. nobody wants Dlo. I keep saying Dlo aint surviving in the NBA once he leaves LA...and if he survives, he will be a bench warmer.
@@wilsonodhiambo8578 Lol. Yes, he can be a bench warmer somewhere else. I'd take the majority of bench players on other teams just to offload him. He still has some value as a sixth man and you can get something for that. The Lakers have enough to get something for him, it's just that Pelinka refuses to admit that he made many mistakes by keeping his moody ass this long. He's always crying when he doesn't get his way but he doesn't deserve to whine because he isn't good enough! It's the one thing he's never realized. 😆
Cant really dench dlo. Reaves is not a pg only way bench dlo start vincent there or bron Pg bron Sg reddish C davis Pf wood Sf vando Bench Pg dlo Sg reaves C hayes Pf rui Sf knecht
@lorenzozampighi3646 no this roster is just ass and LeBron doesn't play any defense as a fucking forward because hes 80 years old. You have 4 starters playing zero defense.
It wasn’t all on ham. But he’s the coach, leader. You gonna take the fall. And you would have to be blind or just ignorant to think Ham wasn’t making questionable moves last year. JJ is 8 games in. That’s too early to be making claims like that.
no he was a problem but he wasnt the only problem. the lakers are not a good constructed roster, i still think they can barely get to 50-53 wins with JJ tho. But that will depend on health and dlo hitting shots since he cant defend to save his life. Also its way too early, and even if u compare the records after 8 games jj still has a better record compared to ham even with a worst roster. But still it doesnt mean jack if the lakers have a better or worse record rn what matters is their record at the end of the season, its too early and we have to see how teams adjust throughout a whole 82 game season.
I think, as bad as he's been playing, you start Vincent over D-Lo. At least Vincent gives you a bit more athleticsm and strength defensively in the back court, and who knows, it might actually be the spark he needs to get back in form. Austin and D-Lo just don't work well together as they are both not athletic and get torched on pick and rolls.
You still have to play 5 players at a time😂most of these players are unwanted. Cam, DLO, Dalton, Wood, Vanderbilt, Koloko, and Hayes were all considered undesirables

@JSM24 he's giving Cam more time, which is what I was hoping for.
He has options.

Feels like the only way we can motivate DLO is to threaten to trade him.
ong, trade deadline dlo is top 5 players of all time
nah...fck that. I say trade or waive Dlo. He is useless in the playoffs where he is most needed. I dont wanna go through that again

New rotation until Vando get back should be reeves, Cam, rui, Bron & AD
DLO and Hayes off the bench could work too. Just hope Christie can get better looks with the second unit with DLO playmaking.
lakers will always be in trouble until vando comes back, they really need him a lot because ad can just take the offensive load
@@jameshall7048once dlo hit the bench if it’s like last year he’s gonna play horrible hopefully not
Agreed!!
Cam reddish is a scorer first he needs to get back to being a threat offensively and keep the defense up
Reddish deserves more consistent playing time...
Darvin Ham w/ pointed pistol: “Always has.”
Starter should be dlo, reddish, LeBron, Wood and AD
Bench
Austin, knnect, vando, rui, koloko
DLO needs to be humbled. The dude is uber confident and will not own up to his mistakes. He’s clearly role player who think he’s an “elite” player.
DLO hair color is the culprit to his poor shooting, change it back to black. 😅
Worth a shot lol
FUNNY
😂
I feel like Reddish should start while DLO runs the bench. AR, Reddish, Lebron, Rui. AD
DLO Gabe, Knecht, Hayes
We have no choice but to sit Dlo and come off the bench and start Cam. At least Cam can defend
I like Vando in the starting lineup when healthy

He always been scared of contact which is why he never drives to the rim because he has no athleticism
How can a point have a 6'10 wingspan and still be a liability defensively
JJ was a little to emotional after the game. It's his 1st season. It was a very poor 3 point shoot night.
i mean its good that he is emotional after 1 loss in the regular season, it shows that he is a very serious coach and not saying stuff like " we wont die with every game" like darvin ham did. He has a good sense of urgency about him which darvin lacked and it is so clear.
Three words: Point Guard Bron
Thank you! That’s what it should be. They won the ship when lebron was PG and they had 3and D guys around him
@@mattprice302 I would prefer Bron playing PG in the playoffs which means playing 2 bigs at the same time. Regular season would tire him up.
