**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

[James_O]

Dennis Schroder as the go to guy down the stretch. Damn

Warriors are stupid for letting that much time to pass before fouling. I ain’t complaining tho

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

This is a well rounded team

 

[pmatic]

AD, Rui, Bron, D'Lo and Schroder is just too much high usage players at one time. Hopefully Ham adjusts and moves Rui/Schroder to bench in favor of Vando/Beasley (bad debut game I know).

 

[DLF]

Wanna see Ad and Vandy front court vs big wingy teams

 

[geno90221]

Russ find a team yet?

Beasley has 2 modes. Missed almost everything and makes almost everything. And they last for weeks at a time it feels.

Beasley at least has gravity.

Ya I agree. Shroeder is too high usage

 

[grittyman]

Good defense from AD there in the 4th.

Can’t play everyone, and every night someone’s minutes are going to get squeezed… team has depth now.

Time to go on a run

 

[CP1708]

Dennis as the Russ 6th man would be perfect.

 

[noblekane]

hopefully beasley can get it together quickly.

with ad and bron on the floor they are going to get alot of open shots

 

[tupac003]

Time for a victory cigar and UFC!

 

[noblekane]

Brosizzlew30.23 not looking good for your boy mo bamba. vando and gabriel gonna take his minutes lol

 

[Hijo Del Promo]

Even though hes gone already, we can all agree

TRADE WESTBROOK.

 

[sohi 23]

Have to beat the Blazers without Lebron and then get revenge on the Pelicans with Bron back. I’m sticking Vando on BI all game.

1-0 on the season let’s get it.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Trade should've happened waaaaaaaaay before the deadline.

 

[drewsone]

Dennis was integral in this dub but good god he does not know how to pass

bamba coming soon too and that'll help alot as well as 40% shooting from a 5

but man what i saw from Vando

 

[reconic supreme]

AD took over in the 4th devensively

bro got a bill russell statline

 

[pmatic]

*I can understand if Ham wants Schroder out there for defense though. D'Lo and Beasley is very flammable.

 

[sohi 23]

Trade should've happened waaaaaaaaay before the deadline.

Probably would’ve saved AD & Bron’s health since they wouldn’t have been so overloaded but at least we saved a 2029 pick

 

[Lizakers]

Oh my god how did we get a win without the 6 man of the year lol

Season is finally here

 

[sohi 23]

I think Dennis starts all year due to point of attack defense capabilities. Nobody else can really do it. Asking Dlo or Beasley to do it is asking for trouble.

The starting lineup should be
Dennis/Dlo/bron/Vando/AD
Reaves and Beasley off the bench.

I can see Troy Brown getting his minutes squeezed.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

AD for KAT makes a ton of sense for both teams. Won’t ever happen. But it makes sense.

AD already gets criticized for not playing hard all the time. Towns is a worse player and more inconsistent. Lakers spotlight would kill him.

 

[darthska]

If I remember correctly, we took the lead with the lineup of Shroder, DLo, Reaves, Vanderbilt, and Gabriel.

 

[thasoleful1]

This is what I expected. Even missing one of the big 3 (Bron, AD, DLo) we still got a competitive game. Last season and even this season if Bron or AD out I had no hope and forsure blow out incoming.

 

[drewsone]

ya AD for sure had some huge stops in the last 5 min
but he still dont look right it look like he dont even wanna be out there lol
