@@JSM24 I want to see Roster Balance. DFS brings back the length and physicality that propelled the Lakers to the championship. Also Shake Milton. I don’t know much about him but he looks like a solid acquisition.
@@Shawnpee3496but I still let rui start to get his offensive rhythm but depending on the team like against the nugget bron got to play point and max Vando on mpj bron on brown ad on Gordon dfs on on jokic and ad on Gordon and have him roam
@@akwesirobinson1710 it’ll be 4 on 5 because the Nuggets will just ignore Vando. The only way that can work is if the Lakers are hot from the 3 point line. Then the driving lanes will be wide open.
I personally believe that Rui isn't going to play his way out of the starting lineup but DFS is going to play his way in with better defense against better teams
Not a bad prediction. Christie has mitigated the perimeter defense, but DFS could theoretically make it even better. Though, Rui has been playing incredibly well lately. It’ll be fun to watch play out!
Rui would just get more touches off the bench. Since rui and lebron play relatively the same position it would add more depth. Eventually should be 1 bron, vincent 2 reaves, knecht 3 christie, cam 4 Dfs, rui 5 AD, hayes Rui 6 man with more minutes than dfs
That’s what I’m thinking rui can still have a really big role as 6 man playing back up 3 and 4 positions. Give us some firepower off the bench since we have enough offense with ar Bron and as starting
Only ones left that need to be traded is Christian wood, Jaxson Hayes, Gabe Vincent , Jalen hood schifino , possibly rui but if hold on to him at least til it get close to the trade deadline
Get rid of woods and Gabe rui is still a solid player that goes both ways. Lakers don’t need another all star big ONLY role players. Gabe is always hurt and been holding on to woods.
Rui was a great 6th man in the 2023 playoffs and is accustomed to a bench role. DFS has been a starter for the past 5 years and helps the Lakers defense a lot more while rui helps with bench scoring. DFS has also guarded Donovan multiple times before. Makes all the sense to start him
Vando offense comes off his defense, and cuts to the rim .DFS will get open looks and cuts to rim and Christie is improving on offense and gaining confidence.
@ did I say vando was great? Read what I said, he will get his offense off defense, steals for break away layups and cuts to the basket. Read man!!! Reading is fundamental. You knock it off and read.
I have faith in DFS and Shake and I feel like both will take other players minutes. DFS will eventually be a starter and take Rui’s mins and with this Gabe injury I feel shake will come in and play well enough to take Gabe’s mins.
Daming center ng lakers tapos namomroblima pa dapat bigyan ni Redick yan ng minotu di puro smallball nalang ...kaya ..natalo sila sa mga teams na malalakas ang center dahil sa smallball ni redick
Kills me. how excited people get for people who have been traded 50 times before. There is a reason for that🙁 DFS is a nice piece but he not moving the needle at all.
Reports came out that Danny Ainge and lakers could have completed the Kessler trade but he didn’t want to help the lakers cause he feels Kessler does that for now and future. So in others word his Celtic hating ass sucks😭💀🤦🏾♂️. Like bro is so petty.
Once again LBJ's always needy game plan is to send would be developed, Laker-drafted young guys to the bench. Meanwhile, no so-called analysts or fan has the guts to call a spade a spade. Win now for him sacrifice the future of the franchise.

Rui can sit down until he proves himself
I personally believe that Rui isn't going to play his way out of the starting lineup but DFS is going to play his way in with better defense against better teams
Dfs just a better natural player. Rui can do things dfs cant like creating his own shot though
Not a bad prediction. Christie has mitigated the perimeter defense, but DFS could theoretically make it even better. Though, Rui has been playing incredibly well lately. It’ll be fun to watch play out!
@@JSM24he stepped up his defense this year for surely
Rui would just get more touches off the bench. Since rui and lebron play relatively the same position it would add more depth.
Eventually should be
1 bron, vincent
2 reaves, knecht
3 christie, cam
4 Dfs, rui
5 AD, hayes
Rui 6 man with more minutes than dfs
I agree 100%
Happy newyear everyone!
I think it's better to just start DFS at 3, and make Rui the back up for Lebron at 4.
That’s what I’m thinking rui can still have a really big role as 6 man playing back up 3 and 4 positions. Give us some firepower off the bench since we have enough offense with ar Bron and as starting
I think they should have a line up of A.r, Dorian finney smith, Rui, Bron & A.D or at least let that be the closing lineup
Just get rid of Christian wood at this point , trade wood Jhs and a 2nd for Nick Richards
Only ones left that need to be traded is Christian wood, Jaxson Hayes, Gabe Vincent , Jalen hood schifino , possibly rui but if hold on to him at least til it get close to the trade deadline
Get rid of woods and Gabe rui is still a solid player that goes both ways. Lakers don’t need another all star big ONLY role players. Gabe is always hurt and been holding on to woods.
I hope the Lakers do great with them 2.
going need more than that
Right on time-all the time!
Rui was a great 6th man in the 2023 playoffs and is accustomed to a bench role. DFS has been a starter for the past 5 years and helps the Lakers defense a lot more while rui helps with bench scoring. DFS has also guarded Donovan multiple times before. Makes all the sense to start him
This will only work if lakers can Generate Points and Stop 3s on defense
DFS is shooting 63% from the freethrow line. Lakers are going to struggle to score even more if he starts over Rui
Well that’s why he there for mostly shooting I mean he shooting 45% from 3
We need walker Kessler
I swear
Not if it's for two 1sts. Just get Day'Ron Sharpe. Much easier
He’s trash
Knecht is already better than Kessler
He not worth 2 first lol if it’s for one first sure
thats why lakers trade for dodo in order not to rush vando return we need a healthy vando nice move from the lakers
I think DFS should be playing when AD is not on the floor. He can help the team keep momentum on the defensive side of things and get stops.
That DFS an Max Christie closing lineup will feed families🫡😮💨
Vando is estimated to be back anytime between January of 2025 and never. SMH
Well he had surgery man
Imagine vando and dfs. Plus cam and davis all on the court together lol. Thats real trouble
Could go lbj Christie Vando dfs ad and dfs can do small ball center sometimes like ad wants
Good defense, terrible offense
@ it would be for defense final shot
Just need a trade for a big
They also need a guard
I’m curious about which website this data comes from.
Healthy Max, DFS, and Vando in the starting 5 would be elite on defense. Only problem is offense, where LeBron and AD will have to carry.
Vando offense comes off his defense, and cuts to the rim .DFS will get open looks and cuts to rim and Christie is improving on offense and gaining confidence.
@@dwaynedaniels5100vando offense is ass bruh knock it off
@@meechryles7072nah he just needs to be playing in the dunkers spot , similar to Aaron Gordon.
@@officialdownload4 Gordon does way more on offense side ball by far. Dunkers spot not needed for him can drive back you down shoot 3
@ did I say vando was great? Read what I said, he will get his offense off defense, steals for break away layups and cuts to the basket. Read man!!! Reading is fundamental. You knock it off and read.
Best 18 man roster in the league in my opinion we are VERY deep…
Are they available for tonight's game? Finney and Milton?
Yes.
DFS is going to start eventually, they’ll need Rui’s offense off the bench.
Jaxson needs to play center better around AD if they do not get a center. Good trade defensive team will be tough. Go lakers!
Need someone to bring the hustle until JV comes back, hope it’s DFS
always hurt even when he's healthy
The look lakers dati👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Rui’s scoring would be best utilized off the bench
I have faith in DFS and Shake and I feel like both will take other players minutes. DFS will eventually be a starter and take Rui’s mins and with this Gabe injury I feel shake will come in and play well enough to take Gabe’s mins.
Need a center ! What’s the problem ?
It doesn't matter who starts what matters is SUSTAINED execution so we can get some bench wins. This will keep AD and Bron fresher
3:02 CWood been out for so long JJ forgot about him 😂
High time you changed DFS and milton’s picture into purple and gold jerseys
Love D-Lo, but this will be for the better. D-Lo did his best & really grew with us.
@@5555emerson it's only better if you win championship other than that don't matter. Going need more for the chip
Lakers should go for caris levert
#bellGang
awesome role players I don't think JJ is going to shake the roster maybe plug n play,
I hope so dlo is really an asset to lakers but where dlo they going the champ
How those getting hit in the face hurts your back😂?
Man please! WE all know the Lakers ain't going nowhere
LEWHINE BLAMES said it himself
Somebody said that the lakers traded for DFS and vando was immediately able to practice and I can’t stop thinking about it 😂😂😂😂
That’s cap they been said he plan on returning sometime early January
@ it was a joke dawg relax…..
Any update from C Wood?
Trading Lakres dateline teament 💜💛💜💛👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿
Lakers have put too much stock into C.Wood & Vincent give dalton knecht more MINUTES
Stop saying LeBron at the four. Everybody knows once the ball touch his hands he's becomes the point guard. That will always be the Lakers problem.
He's our main ball handler for sure. I think Lebron at the four is on the defensive side.
This team still lacks team speed badly (even more than size imo)
Unfortunately it’s against the Cavs
Starting lineup dont matter it’s the closing lineup DSJ will be in that most nights over Rui
LIEBron gets all the trades he wants, always getting help but will cry for more, Liebron is a joke goat
Daming center ng lakers tapos namomroblima pa dapat bigyan ni Redick yan ng minotu di puro smallball nalang ...kaya ..natalo sila sa mga teams na malalakas ang center dahil sa smallball ni redick
I’m just looking for some lakers fans to start bashing the trade if DFS don’t shoot 40% from 3 this game 😂
No use paying attention to those fans. Some were angry at Taurean Prince last season despite him shooting 39.6% from 3 lol
@ nah I just find them amusing that’s all lol
lol good luck
if shake milton plays well tonight as better sa gabe probably gabe will be gone also 🤣
I thibk dfs and shake milton need play bench rui is better playing withblebron ad
They say new look lakers with every trade they male
This doesn’t look good… Stop juicing up this lineup…
Kills me. how excited people get for people who have been traded 50 times before. There is a reason for that🙁 DFS is a nice piece but he not moving the needle at all.
He moves the needle because they got better defensively. It takes good role players to make a team good.
@@dwaynedaniels5100 very true. Even Mavs wants him back and Grizz where ready to give up a first round pick for him.Ldefense will definitely improve
Wood gonna be out the league after this year
Reports came out that Danny Ainge and lakers could have completed the Kessler trade but he didn’t want to help the lakers cause he feels Kessler does that for now and future. So in others word his Celtic hating ass sucks😭💀🤦🏾♂️. Like bro is so petty.
Bronny > Shake Milton
Who made the decision to draft JHS?
lost to cavs
Waive Lebron and his legacy. With them, they are a fringe play-in team at best.
Once again LBJ's always needy game plan is to send would be developed, Laker-drafted young guys to the bench. Meanwhile, no so-called analysts or fan has the guts to call a spade a spade. Win now for him sacrifice the future of the franchise.
Debut sucked
How have Vando and Vincent been injured for this fucking long???? It makes no sense
Vincent been injured recently, tf you on at?
Vincent has yet to miss a game this season lol
They are playing the cavs i don’t expect them to win this game but its a dry run for the new guys see if they fit in or not.
