They’re going to be mediocre. Bron and ad need to be in his ear and get him to push the #button in December

Don't even think it's possible with the new CBA. Even in the old CBA it would be a reach since Steph makes 55 Ms

Lakers have made the WCF or won a championship 2 out of the last 5 seasons.
They coulda obviously be better… but inept?

AD played majority C that entire chip run.
The team was better the next season, injuries happened.
Rob's terrible move was Russ, but he got outta that for the most part. Dwert and Boogie ain't played in 2 years

They never take into account Bron got older, AD slowed down because of injuries and his jumper regressed.

Invalid and inaccurate on so many levels

I’ll argue and debate the crap out of this with you and anybody here who agrees with you.
AD did NOT play the majority of his minutes at center during 2019-2020 and that’s a known fact

Dwight and Boogie spittin nothing but facts and we’re gonna see additional evidence once again this season when AD plays 90% of his minutes at Center with no big man help and Lakers get ousted from the playoffs yet again

Lakers hired the lead player development coach that Redick wanted.
Was a teammate of Harden's at ASU.

Bron isn’t a SF anymore and can’t play chameleon on defense. That’s why 2020 would have needed to be broken up at some point anyway. Problem is they did it by getting the worst possible player for it.
Bron is still great. But he’s undoubtedly winding down defensively. Can’t put him on quick forwards and can’t make him play on guards..
Playing big minutes of AD stretches at the 4, moving Bron to the 3 requires almost a total wipeout of personnel changes at PG/SG/C.
And trying to do that, while also winning each trade, and not torpedoing the good things you want to keep rolling with is damn near impossible.
Jarred Vanderbilt being healthy would do a lot to fix rebounding concerns. Metrically plays out well on the boards. Still need Rui to improve at rebounding just because of he’s size, he’s gotta be better but there’s a good starting point.
But any of the forwards they truly looked at (Grant, DFS, Cam) do very little to change what plagued the team.
A backup competent Center in conjunction would change the tune as well.
I think little else matters outside of the rebounding issues.
