Dlo/Schroeder is a good starter/backup NBA point guard rotation
**LA LAKERS THREAD** Sitting on 17! 2023-2024 offseason begins

If nothing else, D'Lo is a real showman.

I know lots of people were complaining about 3 guard lineups, and while I wasn’t a fan either I did understand the logic based on the roster construction. Troy, Austin, Max really has no chance against elite wing players…neither does Bev but I’d trust him more than any of the other guys to at least make people have to work harder to get a bucket.

It’s not a totally bad idea.
There’s 3 players that I hope they can acquire through trade, draft and exceptions
1. A wing who is a + defender and can knock down open shots
2. A backup Center
3. A backup PG who is competent
If they do that without sacrificing DLo/Beasley/Bron/Vando/AD it’s the best course of action to build a winner over the length of Bron/AD era

Wasn’t Shroeder 2nd in running for 6MOY with Thunder the year before he got with us. It’s actually the best role for him

‘One-drop rule’ persists — Harvard Gazette
Harvard psychologists have found that the centuries-old “one-drop rule” assigning minority status to mixed-race individuals appears to live on in our modern-day perception and categorization of people like Barack Obama, Tiger Woods, and Halle Berry.

"...we still tend to see biracials not as equal members of both parent groups, but as belonging more to their minority parent group. The research appears in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
“Many commentators have argued that the election of Barack Obama, and the increasing number of mixed-race people more broadly, will lead to a fundamental change in American race relations,” says lead author Arnold K. Ho, a Ph.D. student in psychology at Harvard. “Our work challenges the interpretation of our first biracial president, and the growing number of mixed-race people in general, as signaling a color-blind America.”
In the United States, the “one-drop rule” — also known as hypodescent — dates to a 1662 Virginia law on the treatment of mixed-race individuals. The legal notion of hypodescent has been upheld as recently as 1985, when a Louisiana court ruled that a woman with a black great-great-great-great-grandmother could not identify herself as “white” on her passport.
“One of the remarkable things about our research on hypodescent is what it tells us about the hierarchical nature of race relations in the United States,” says co-author James Sidanius, professor of psychology and of African and African-American studies at Harvard. “Hypodescent against blacks remains a relatively powerful force within American society.”

Why do people keep brining up Whiteside?

Probably have to decide between Troy Brown & Dennis with the TPMLE.

No way Troy is getting the TPMLE. He's been solid for the minimum. If he's gonna be brought back, he can just re-sign for 120% of the minimum (non-Bird) then they can have his Early Bird rights in 2024.
Frankly, signing Schroder for the entire TMLE is an overpay (given his market the last two seasons), but at least bringing him back would mean you have 48 minutes of competent point guard play and gives you more salary ballast for a trade if need be.

I'd be happy to finally have some consistency with the roster.
A year and half of Bron, AD, Russ and vet mins was not the formula for success.

As far as the wing I genuinely think Max Christie can be a rotational player ona good team by next year. I'm so glad they didn't just make him a toss in. Also I wouldn't mind bringing TBJ back on a small contract if available

TBJ had a mini-slump earlier in the year,but has been rock solid since.Kinda reminds me of Trevor Ariza a lil bit
