We need Rui's scoring off the bench!!! It's better than having DFS off the bench since he's more defensive minded than offensive. He's better off in a unit with 3 premiere scorers than coming off the bench with the second unit which NEEDS scoring.
@@diegocuyuch1704 100%. I been saying this & I think you're the only person I've seen agree with me on that. If this roster was 100% healthy, they'd be good enough to contend for the West maybe Bron K4 DFS AD Wood, Reaves Max Cam Vando Rui is a solid 10 man lineup to me. But if you can flip Rui, Gabe, Cam & Hayes for Jerami Grant & RWIII even better Bron K4 DFS AD Wood, Reaves Max Vando Grant RWIII. Monster defenders off the bench & 2 in the starting lineup. The Lakers could definitely win the chip with this lineup
I think so too. Me personally I would start Christian Wood when he's healthy because he plays well on both ends of the floor with AD next to him, DFS will be there to help as well. Then Rui would be my backup C (that can't rebound 😭😭). I still would try to trade Rui, Gabe, Hayes & Cam for Jerami Grant & RWIII. Bron K4 DFS AD Wood would be my starters, Reaves Max Vando Grant RWIII as my 2nd unit. Closing lineup Bron Reaves DFS AD Wood & if I need 1 possession for a defensive stop, I'm going DFS Vando Wood/Cam AD RWIII
They should go at least 7-3 from now until the end of January with a friendly home schedule and strength of of schedule.That can put them in a good place in the conference right before the trade deadline.
If the Lakers lose without Kyrie, Luka & Gafford they need to just call it a season 😂 But they definitely need to start DFS over Rui & they'll be way better off. Their bench needs the scoring
If we can have ad and bron play hover and passing lanes we could save a breath for bron and ad by dumping it on the block for guaranteed buckets vs rui updown
January is a Huge Month for US before We move into a Somewhat Challenging February and a Super Challenging March/April!!! January Record: 13-3 (31-17) = Excellent 12-4 (30-18) = Great 11-5 (29-19) = Good 10-6 (28-20) = Solid

@@JX9917 rui’s defensive rating is only higher because of his matchups. He has more favorable matchups because he has AD there for help when at the 4. If player A is posting up rui and see’s AD on the help and player a passes out thats a positive for rui in the metrics for defense. Its not his fault of course and thats what we want, but one on one defense. Individual defense without any help is a disaster. When he is switching (which isn’t often because we play drop coerage alot) on guards they take fry him time and time again.

Looking at the language around Rui, it’s as if you can’t start him (“needs to play the 4;” “not good for perimeter defense;” “bench needs scoring”), and as if you can’t bench him (“what about his confidence;” “he wants to start;” “how will benching affect his game”). Well the math isn’t good on any significant moves if Lakers make another one. It’s also not good if the language above proves to be true. DFS should start, Rui may be (probably will be) fine coming off the bench but DFS makes the most sense to start either way.
Hey Trevor! Would love to see if I can be an occasional guest on the show! I have been a diehard lakers fan for over 20 years, I'm 29. Love the NBA, super knowledgeable and love talking sports.
Rui needs to be aggressive from defence to offence ..... Try to rest lebron and play Ad rui dfs max and reaves .... Rui needs to be aggressive very soon lebron retiring he is not getting younger . Rui is the deputy. Next draft bigman . Train koloko he isn't bad .
Know this will sound crazy, Daniel said Lakers need another scorer I think he's so on point. If Lakers can get Bradley Beal on a cheap contract they will be a very good team ,and with his length I think it would work.
I'm not so much concerned about our starting 5 as much as I am us adding a center & a solid perimeter defender. Go flip Gabe, JHS, 2 seconds & a pick swap for Nick Richards & Cody Martin to complete this roster
Best lineup to go right now with Wood & Vando out? Well I'd honestly bring both Rui & Reaves off the bench as the scoring punch & bring in DFS & K4 into the starting lineup Bron K4 Max DFS AD, Shake/Gabe Reaves Cam Rui Koloko. When healthy, I'd swap Max & Wood in the starting lineup & bring Vando in the 2nd quarter or so. Bron K4 DFS AD Wood, Reaves Max Cam Vando Rui is my personal 10 man lineup as is, no further trades. I personally would try to trade Rui, Gabe, Cam & Hayes for Jerami & Grant RWIII to boost the defense much more
Agree...Time to start DFS and let Rui be the second or the third choice in term of offense.. in the end, starting LeBron from the bench like a Manu, can Just keep him fresh by the end of games and and help the team winning
Kessler only option at thus point since they gotta know AD going to miss games and he can easily play the minutes and we wouldn't lose as much games get rid of top 4 protection and one unprotected pick seconds if need be as well we can hopefully buy more in off-season.
Knecht is clearly the natural shooter on the team yet Redick doesn’t make a lot of effort to get him going. We’ll end up losing him like many other younger players with big upside talent.
Heyyy! Listen, these guys don’t work for Free! Rui will be fine if he has to come off the bench! He’s an ADULT man! He’ll either be fine, or be’ll be fine! 💪🏼❤️🔥
i can already tell you what this video is before i watch it.... trev is gonna read 2 dollar sperchats from a bunch of little kids with their l4me a33 questions..... i already know im right
If don't lose to bad teams and win games we should win our record should be top 3 in the west especially if we sneak some games against some top tier teams...we need like a 5 to 7 game win streak to give us a lil more cushion
Klay probably will be lucky vs Lakers. Any player not known being a shooter if he shoot with confidence and able to convert seems becoming a good shooter vs. Lakers, particularly if the defense of Lakers become awful 😖
How come EVERY YEAR we see lakers play better BIG! Yet EVERY COACH we get is OBSESSED with playing small!! Its some of the most simple obvious nerds and these voaches just blow it every fucjing year man
I agree on the point about adding a big Trevor. AD would most definitely feast and shoot on winning another title. Get the win Lakers and get AD a big to help AD. Thanks Trev for what you do. Salute from the Lone Star State back to the Golden State.🫡
Salary wise, the Rui and Hayes/Wood plus the 1 of the 1st round pick for Myles Turner is possible. Turner can do what rui and wood/hayes can do, right? Should they get Turner instead? Then go for nick richards for JHS and Hayes/wood. Then go for D.Smith, Jr. in the FA market for the available slot in the rooster.
I like trying to trade with the raptors so trade vando gabe rui and jhs for poeltl and Bruce Brown.. obviously would cost some draft capital as well.. would like give you the centre and defensive perimeter gaurd they need.. would be real contenders
@ he is. It’s the last season for his contract. He become UFA next season. He makes almost 20M this season. Rui plus Wood/Hayes and 1st round for him. Imagine a Max or DFS at 1; DFS or Vando(IF healthy) at 2; LBJ at 3; Davis at 4; and Turner at 5 Plus, he will only be 29yo this March. You can pair him with AD for 3 more years.
Why are we not talking about John Collins at all? He’s avging 18pts/8rebs and he’s a reliable two-way big, and I feel like Utah doesn’t really value him. He would be a good small ball 5 off the bench, so we can get AD some real breaks. Low volume, but he can also shoot the 3. The more I think about it, Collins & Sexton is a better fit than Kessler & Sexton.
Wait wait a moment someone is throwing you a ball for you to run out and get but you're standing there calling a timeout but you get blamed because you're 21 years old which game was everyone watching?
The Mavs won because, as most teams do, they exploit Austin Reaves on defense. Teams have been doing that for the past two years. In the past, like Charles Barkley (who I'm not a fan of) mentioned, Laker fans blamed every team issue on D'Lo. Well, they no longer have D'Lo to blame anymore. So, I'm sure they'll find some other non-Reaves player to blame for their losses. I think Reaves should have been coming off the bench all along. He would be a role player on any other team coming off the bench. Not a starting guard. He's not fast enough or enough of a playmaker to be a legitimate starting point guard or shooting guard. They will not be top contender this year. It's time to admit that they need to have a center on the floor with AD, much like Milwaukee has done with Giannis, and stop leaving all the ballhandling duties to Lebron. I know he wants to be the one to handle that as well, but it's time he accepted the idea of delegating things like that to others. Every player we get, with promise, ends up having bad years under us, then gets traded, and their game suddenly returns. The factor at play seems to be the presence of Lebron, or his need to be a playmaker and shot-maker. Dinwiddle had a good game against the Lakers, and he was on our team last year! The league is full of ex-Lakers who got to shine once they left us. Julius Randle (no matter what Laker fans may think of him), Malik Monk, Alex Caruso, Josh Hart, Malik Beasley, even D'Lo after we got rid of him the first time had excellent stats and made the All-Star team. We don't have a single legitimate All-Star outside of AD. And no...Reaves is not, and never will be an All-Star, so making him untradeable unless there is one involved is laughable to the rest of the teams in the league.
Lakers trade: 1. Trade with Nets, Lakers give Rui, Gebe, Christian, Shifno, 2 unprotected 1st rounds. Nets ship, Cam Jonson, Cam Thomas and center Sharpe. price wise equal both sides.
Rui should have never been starting. They just leave him on the perimeter instead of running offense for him in the post. Which isn’t going to happen because he’s starting with LeBron and AD But because there isn’t a brain cell in the lakers organization he’s had to start because they don’t have another big with AD. THEY NEED 2 BIGS
Hope everyones ready for a Klay Thompson 10 for 13 from 3 +a Dinwiddie 30Piece w/a PJ Washington 8for10 from 3 With 30+points🤷🏾♂️ It always happens. Please take care of business Lakers🙏🏾
I lost faith on my lakers, the game against the rockets we came back and took a 4 points lead and after that we couldn’t buy a bucket even if we had the ball we either missed a shot , commit a foul or give the ball to the rockets on inbound plus having the refs calling the last couple games against the lakers doesn’t help us either.
Bruce Brown is not him anymore... He just came back, played only 4 games and attempted 3s in one game.. For the Raptors... If Im gonna be that dumb, I'll take Saddiq Bey whenever he comes back if I want an injury-ridden 3D guy... At least he cost less😂
Yall are wishy-washy Laker fans. Lakers are the worst fan base in sports. That's why Brandon Jennings said players don't want to come play here and play. Danny Green also said that. Yall wanted to 💀 harm him and his family over a finals game. That's insane. Yall turn on all of yall players. Just this year alone yall wanted to trade AD, Russell, Austin, Rui, Vando, Max, Gabe, Wood, even wanted to trade Lebron for having a 4 game bad stretch. We not talking a 20 game bad stretch. We are talking a 4 game. Curry have had a 4 game bad stretch and not once have I heard a warrior fan saying he needs to retire or be traded. Laker fans does this a lot. Now let Max would've got traded and have him playing like how he is now on another team. Laker fan base would've been crying. They are wishy-washy and not loyal. How yall expect these players to be loyal.

He would be a role player on any other team coming off the bench. Not a starting guard. He's not fast enough or enough of a playmaker to be a legitimate starting point guard or shooting guard. They will not be top contender this year. It's time to admit that they need to have a center on the floor with AD, much like Milwaukee has done with Giannis, and stop leaving all the ballhandling duties to Lebron. I know he wants to be the one to handle that as well, but it's time he accepted the idea of delegating things like that to others. Every player we get, with promise, ends up having bad years under us, then gets traded, and their game suddenly returns. The factor at play seems to be the presence of Lebron, or his need to be a playmaker and shot-maker. Dinwiddle had a good game against the Lakers, and he was on our team last year! The league is full of ex-Lakers who got to shine once they left us. Julius Randle (no matter what Laker fans may think of him), Malik Monk, Alex Caruso, Josh Hart, Malik Beasley, even D'Lo after we got rid of him the first time had excellent stats and made the All-Star team. We don't have a single legitimate All-Star outside of AD. And no...Reaves is not, and never will be an All-Star, so making him untradeable unless there is one involved is laughable to the rest of the teams in the league.
They had Klay playing point guard last game
That's not ideal
If Rui can’t come off the bench get Saxton and bring him off the bench period #LakeShow
Bounce back lakeshow LFG
Please start DFS and bench RUI 😅
No need to change the starting line up, let JJ coach and push Rui to go back to the Wizards defender he was.
Don’t play with wounded prey.
1+1=2¢
Lakers trade:
1. Trade with Nets, Lakers give Rui, Gebe, Christian, Shifno, 2 unprotected 1st rounds.
Nets ship, Cam Jonson, Cam Thomas and center Sharpe. price wise equal both sides.
I’m prepared for Klay Thompson to turn into Prime klay and shoot lights out against us
it is more like a disaster if we loose this one
Not really. They need to play loose so they win. Not tight. If they do then they lose 😂
Lakers need take Big man and take. Shot 3️⃣ point swing man
If we don't get Kessler. Trevor is definitely going to crash out. 😅😂🤣
Wake up, sleepy Pelinka! This roster is screaming for a bruise type center.
He's not even up for trade😂
Id be satisfied getting Jonas as long as we dont give up any 1st rd picks to get him
He's not avaliable
I better see a Lakers win tonight, Dallas are without Luka, Irving, Gafford.
Trev, they don't need to add anybody, big or not.. They have Goatking James
Rui should have never been starting. They just leave him on the perimeter instead of running offense for him in the post. Which isn’t going to happen because he’s starting with LeBron and AD But because there isn’t a brain cell in the lakers organization he’s had to start because they don’t have another big with AD. THEY NEED 2 BIGS
Hope everyones ready for a Klay Thompson 10 for 13 from 3 +a Dinwiddie 30Piece w/a PJ Washington 8for10 from 3 With 30+points🤷🏾♂️ It always happens. Please take care of business Lakers🙏🏾
😂 wait why are we worried about rui feelings if Bradley Beal can come off the bench than rui hachimura can come off the bench FIYTB😂
Yup its time for JJ to put on his big boy pants and tell Rui hes not actually a sf so DFS is starting
that won’t be hard he was quick to bench dlo
That's not the definition of insanity.
trade Rui for Kuz and were winning the championship
I lost faith on my lakers, the game against the rockets we came back and took a 4 points lead and after that we couldn’t buy a bucket even if we had the ball we either missed a shot , commit a foul or give the ball to the rockets on inbound plus having the refs calling the last couple games against the lakers doesn’t help us either.
They didn't take the lead
Rui need to go asap he don’t want it enough to me
Time for a change? We just lost 1 game after a W streak. I say keep things as is.
jax, gabe , jhs for ayo and jalen smith or williams and camara
Bruce Brown is not him anymore... He just came back, played only 4 games and attempted 3s in one game.. For the Raptors... If Im gonna be that dumb, I'll take Saddiq Bey whenever he comes back if I want an injury-ridden 3D guy... At least he cost less😂
What happened to Sean Davis???
He was disowned
@sidneyshaw9205 how????
He got sent to denver nation along with ron gutterman
@@mantasstyle he's a nuggets fan now??
He started his own Lakers channel. You can put his name in TH-cam and his channel will pop up.
Rui do disappoint some time
This is a gimme. No way the lakers lose.
Don't let AD or LBJ touch the ball in the final minutes if the score is close
Yall are wishy-washy Laker fans. Lakers are the worst fan base in sports. That's why Brandon Jennings said players don't want to come play here and play. Danny Green also said that. Yall wanted to 💀 harm him and his family over a finals game. That's insane. Yall turn on all of yall players. Just this year alone yall wanted to trade AD, Russell, Austin, Rui, Vando, Max, Gabe, Wood, even wanted to trade Lebron for having a 4 game bad stretch. We not talking a 20 game bad stretch. We are talking a 4 game. Curry have had a 4 game bad stretch and not once have I heard a warrior fan saying he needs to retire or be traded. Laker fans does this a lot. Now let Max would've got traded and have him playing like how he is now on another team. Laker fan base would've been crying. They are wishy-washy and not loyal. How yall expect these players to be loyal.
@@-_Bee 💯🎯
@@-_Beethe sad part of this is the people you’re talking about probably won’t give this post the time of day it deserves 😭
I would like to see Rui coming out the gate playing aggressive & that Max keeps playing the way he has in the last games.
