They only want him for his leadership and great decision making

I think they should keep Jaylen and Gordon coming off the bench, ride their streak for as long as they can.
No reason to switch up what’s working. Could potentially see one of them being inserted into the starting lineup for Morris, but I think Smart is in there for good. Brings great energy to open the game and doesn’t need the ball.
 
About to see what they're made of. They're good....but they aren't hands down favorites to come out of the East like many believe.



Yeah I like the balance they have in both lineups now.

Rozier, Brown, and Hayward off the bench makes them terrifying for opposing benches

An MIP candidate last year, a #3 pick, and a rehabbing max level player coming off the bench. Sheesh

I would like it if they kept Morris in the starting line up too, hate to sound clichè, but he brings a toughness/grit, kind of low key like Kenyon Martin.

Yeah I really like his energy starting. Sets the stage defensively. Can pretty much match up with the best player from the 1-3 on the other team.
 
:lol:

It's better than the Smush Parker days...


Just in case no one noticed:

"If Jim Buss' faith in the skilled Bynum is one thing, his fixation on Robert Sacre, another of his hand-picked players, is something else entirely.

Around the NBA, the Lakers' commitment to Sacre, who stayed with the team four full seasons (2012-16), became a running joke. Internally, Sacre's presence on the Lakers roster and the team's payroll created an obstacle to several minor moves that could've paid off big for the team.

The most glaring one: passing on Hassan Whiteside.

As the Lakers were filling out a training-camp roster in September 2014 after their latest free-agency failures, Whiteside took part in a group workout in front of management and new coach Byron Scott. Whiteside did very well, according to league sources.

However, Buss' beloved Sacre making the team and filling a reserve center slot was, same as every other year, even more certain than the earth being round. Therefore, there was little reason to even invite Whiteside to camp."
