It’s too bad the Lakers lack the roster flexibility to bring up Quincy O to take some of Vincent’s and Russel’s unproductive minutes. That’s what the Warriors do with players that can’t produce (like Klay last year).
Of course it’s more promising. You have a coach that isn’t a clueless moron….but how do they still not have another big….insane. And Gabe Vincent was a horrible sign.
You are delusional We still cannot defend or rebound and there is absolutely no reason to believe they will fix this considering it's the 3rd year in a row and we still ain't done shit
We've had 100 gut check games over the last two years. We cannot stop a single starting guard or wing in the entire NBA. And AD leaves the paint, we are done, because we don't have the athletes to stop lobs, backdoor cuts, post up shooting, dribble step backs or anything else really. And if they miss, we can't even secure the rebound consistently. And that all starts on the perimeter. In modern basketball you need athletic switchable wings. You need 2-way players. you need high usage guards, who can score first. And bigs need to be able to space the floor and rebound, too, especially back up bigs. Sizeable power forwards without foot speed are on the way out. Traditional bigs are useless. Guards have to be elite shooters or elite defenders, if they aren't good at both. Wings must be athletic, be able to defend up and down and must be good shooters. The Lakers have blamed and traded every single guy like that and replaced them with power forwards, bigs, who can't shoot, guards with shooting struggles, who can't defend and a bunch of rookies and G-league guys plus Cam and forever hurt Vando, who have terrible offense. We literally do not have a single wing with defense, who can also shoot. Not one. And all this channel ever focuses on is acquiring a traditional big. What we don't have enough holes yet? 😂
Dalton Knecht needs to start. LeBron and AD attract so much attention in the paint that they need to be able to kick it out to shooters. The defence will help less with DK4 and AR15 on the parameter.
Also Q.O. needs to come up from the G league and take all of Gabe Vincent's minutes and a couple of Dlos. However to get that done needs to happen. He's got an amazing attitude and amazing locker room guy.
All defensive line up: PG Vincent SG Reddish SF Vando PF Traore C AD All Offensive line up: PG: Dlo SG: Reaves SF: Knecht PF: Rui C : LBJ Can the all defensive team stop our all Offensive team ?? Ps :Yes we need to to give Traore a better look ! All about fit and the the guy has elite hustle athleticism size and physicality defensively. We should check what we have there before the trades.
@@dmitryowens Unfortunately not so for AD. He would average 14 points in that line up. By now you should have know that almost half of ADs points come from second shots plus assists from guards. Without a good guard to facilitate the offence, AD averages about 14 points from his own creation. He is not like Giannis, Embidd and Joker who enjoy bully ball. AD unfortunately hates contact. If AD did even half of what Giannis does (play bully ball) the lakers would be averaging 60 wins a season simply because AD is a better shooter than Giannis.
@@dmitryowens haha, hey now… 😂 Nah, I’m enjoying following basketball, it’s becoming a close second to baseball. This was my first year following sports at all, and my team won the World Series, so maybe I bring my good luck to the Lakers? 🤷♀️😂
We need to go get a consistent score great score like Lavine. Someone that can take over 4th quarter. We don’t have that guy. Bron is old and he was never take over guy and AD is not take over the game guy at clutch moments. And that guy is not AR. He is way too inconsistent and he relies on fouls too much. He can’t shoot over the defense. Bron always had good scoring punch guards next to him to win. He had Kyrie and Wade. Lavine will cost us nothing in terms of drafts. Get a solid big with good defense and get Lavine and then sign Markel fultz
Dalton is the future starter. But Rui in the starting now is better decision rn with how aggressive he was prior to injury. If he's the same aggressive Rui then we good with him as starter
All those RATINGS are against teams that SUCK....stop! Austin, and Dalton are bench players... that's why they get bodied everytime we play good playoff teams!! 🙏🏾 please keep it 💯
We better be ready because one things forsure the suns will be ready especially with kd and Beal ironically returning against us smh. But we shall see win or lose lakers fan all day
AD & Our Team got Punked by Joker & The Nuggets!!! We need to Knuc(k)le 👊🏾 Up & Be Ready Tonight!!! Side Note - Yes, We need a Big Body Big however, when We get that Big, that is not an excuse for AD to Be Soft and think He’s a Perimeter Offensive Player!!! KD/AD/Joker are all 6’11ish and KD is 240/AD is 260/Joker is 280 however, there are times that AD plays like He’s Smaller than KD!!!
@@zj8478 no we are surrounding our stars with ar/rui, & reddish… they have mikal/og/ josh hart… 3 2way players who would start on most teams. Reddish,rui,ar aren’t starting anywhere elze
The real question for me is why Rob won't get a 3D and a center for this team. I really think he's scared to make a trade and would rather watch the Lakers go home in the 2nd rd than make a trade.
Physical Players - Cam & Jaxson are Our most Physical Players that would be Ready to Fight on/off the Court so, We need to unleash Them; They need 4 Fouls Each a Night!!! LBJ is Super Physical however, bcuz He is Our 39/40 Year Old Super Star Player, He is not that on/off Court Fighter. Rondo/Markieff/Dwight were Our Fighters/Bullies in 19/20 that made sure We didn’t get Punked!!! AR/Knecht/MaxC/AD/LBJ/AD/Gabe aren’t Fighters. There is a Difference between being a Fighter and Knowing how to Defend Yourself. Fighters wake up in The Morning Mad/Upset and Ready to Verbally/Physically Fight (Draymond/Dillion/Markieff/Howard/Isaiah Stewart).
I think the Lakers need to move Rui to the bench. He’s playing a position that is not natural to him. Dalton spreads the floor very well and can score at all 3 levels like Rui. I personally think Rui should be traded along with Gabe to bring in a center or decent perimeter defender to take the pressure off Reddish.
Don't just talk and preach about it I'am and We going too be more aggressive and physical on defense. Show and provè it too yourself. Hold yourself accountable and apply it, in the game all 4quarters Like Rebounding hustling and gaining position of loose balls and not turning the basketball over.
Did Daniel really say “Dalton around LeBron AD & Reaves the THREE STARS”?!?😆 Reaves is a solid player. As of now he’s not even close to a star. It’s comments like that has some ppl say LakersNation too high on AR. Lakers themselves too high on AR bc they didnt want to give him up (+ a few picks) for KYRIE IRVING, a top100 Player EVER, when he was only 30 at the Feb 2023 trade deadline! Ppl don’t talk about that enough! Pelinka could have traded Westbrook expiring + 27/29 1s for Turner Hield before 22-23 season OR 27/29 1s but Austin for KYRIE and moronically passed on BOTH! Anyone objective would admit since 2022-23 with Turner Hield (with AR still) or Kyrie (without AR) Lakers much better TEAM around a top1-3 duo in the NBA in Bron AD! That same Pelinka gave away Zubac & Caruso for no reason then overpaid Gabe/Max instead of brining Schroder back. Also lowballed Ty Lue in 2019, DeRozan before Westbrook summer of 2021, had a horrid 2023 draft (Jaquez Jr at 17 & TJD or GG Jackson at 40 makes this teams depth much better too). He also scapegoated Vogel for his own horrid/old 21-22 roster and hired DARVIN HAM who would never play Pippen Jr & Huff who would help this team too! The fact Pelinka still has a job (especially when Tim Connelly was gettable from Nuggets when Wolves got him and Bob Myers a yr or ago when he became available) is objectively EMBARRASSING! PS Dalton starter (5 games) averages 33.5 mpg, 20, 5, 1, 0.8 spg on insane 72% TS% +9.4 with lakers 4-1 (1 loss only bc 2/8 FT final 3 mins and 3 in Cam’s eye with 3 seconds left). His offensive rating when he starts is 141 (God tier!)! When he comes off bench (11 games) 18.3 mpg 8 2 1 .27 SPG 63 TS% +3.2 Lakers 6-5 Offensive Rating only 115! He clearly should have remained the starter given how great he played! Rui has come bench for 40% of his career games played & was horrid vs Nuggets last playoffs being a big reason they lost as MPJ massacred him as a sniper. Why not have your sniper out there who can demoralize the other team the other team with timely 3s as well + someone who spaces floor better?
MALONE CALLS OUT JOKIC AND MURRAY AFTER THEIR EMBASSING LOSS AGAINTS KNICKS HOPEFULLY JJ WILL CALL OUT LEBRON AND AD AFTER THEIR PERFORMANCE AGAINST NUGGETS
JJ needs to replace Reddish as starter and reduce his time and vincent, DLO and give more opportunity to Q.O MC and DK. Use Dlo, vincent, reddish to get a quality big because AD can`t beat Jokic or any real big because just like what Shaq said "HE IS NOT A BIG MAN" also JJ needs to stop that small ball line up it sucks
@@dmitryowensCam Johnson is a better version of Rui Hachimura. Dorian Finney-Smith is a better/more available version of Jared Vanderbilt. Dennis Schroder is a much better version of Gabe Vincent. JHS is useless to us. DayRon Sharpe is a young big man who can play the Dwight role behind AD. Every single one of those moves is an upgrade so yeah it’s worth the 2 first rounders. And after doing that, I’d consider a Russell to Chicago for Vucevic deal.
how are they angry? they may come across as angry cause they are really showing their passion. at least they can be honest without yelling and cursing.
JJ is complaining about all these soft B rated players Pelinka signed. Thats why the players resigned because they knew there was no market for them,especially Dlo. He plays good enough so other teams don't want him😅
Imagine if Kobe Bryant had got starter minutes his 2 first seasons in the NBA instead of Eddie Jones skinny no defense self on the team. Maybe the beat Utah in the playoffs in 97 or 98 and somehow beat the Bulls :)
JJ is starting to sound all talk no bark. I was expecting JJ & new coaching staff to show the chx nuggets something different something new. They actually regressed at least last year they were competitive up to the last 3 mins.
@blaccanubis8169 Trevor has said that Cam is a good defender numerous times and also said that even though he doesn't contribute much on offense he's still better than Gabe Vincent.
They not looking for dalton cause dlo , rui and Austin scared they might hit the bench or traded if dalton show what he can do . And gotta get lebron some glasses due to turnovers , he might be color blind 🤡🙈🤪
Why warrior and more teams had and easiest schedule than laker 3 times in les than 2 month against suns only detroit was the easiest😂😂😂 complot against lakers?
It's lebrons fault for not committing publicly long time ago. If he committed to a 4 or 5 year plan Rob could make a decisions with a concrete timeline. Year-to-year is good leverage for lebron but not for a franchise. Ask Cleveland.
@@archiealemanyakmaybe the Lakers should wear another team’s uniforms when they play Denver because they only play great when they play the Lakers lol.
Knecht is terrible on defense.. There's more to basketball than just jacking up 3 pointers. Whether he started or not he got the minutes and didn't produce.
Yeah who’s going to be physical and play with force? Austin and Dlo are way too unathletic. Cam, Hayes, Koloko, and Gabe are too small. Rui and AD are too soft. Max and DK don’t have that physical mentality. Finally Lebron is 40 years old and is lazy. Vando and Wood are the only physical players and they are always injured as well.
Teams are a reflection of their GMs Pelinka is soft. Look at all the players he signs. No other teams want our players because they're B rated players. DLO Rui Reeves Hayes Gabe? They're all soft B rated players. We don't hv any agressive players picked up since Pelinka took over. Wait!!! Westbrook and Schroeder. That's it. Get rid of Pelinka. JJ is agressive,not Pelinka( gay) agressive
As a Lakers fan, I feel disheartened. I’ve lost faith in them. They always seem to fall short against Denver. This team isn’t what it was during the championship year, though they’re still really good. If they face Denver in the playoffs or the Western Conference Finals, it feels like the outcome is already written. Without any significant changes, why keep watching? It feels pointless when the result seems inevitable.
@@melanisticmuzik6744 notice how LeBron put in effort on the defensive end for the Olympics but refuses to give effort for the Lakers? He's lazy AF and needs energy to stat pad
The AD "has to dominate every game" expectations are unreasonable. To think a guy can be the best player on offense, the best player on defense, the best rebounder, and the only legit post is silly. Let's ask Bron to take care of the ball, AR, Rui, Knecht, Rui to compete on defense, and Gabe to do something before we dump on our only all- star.
The 2020 team will go down as the most overrated team in lakers history. 90% of the players either retired, played overseas, signed bigger contracts for other teams. Or rode the bench for some other team. Why do yall act like we had a dynasty on our hands
We are gonna have an Embiid Conference Finals appearance before Vando is healthy at this rate
Blame the training staff for not having surgery last season and waiting until the off-season to have DOUBLE FOOT SURGERY

Bronny burning a hole on the roster sheet. I'm all for Quincy because he can play good defense as well as shoot.
This season is much more promising than last year! I hope Rob can get the job done!
How so?
Record is the same lol
Of course it’s more promising. You have a coach that isn’t a clueless moron….but how do they still not have another big….insane. And Gabe Vincent was a horrible sign.

facts...i dont see anyone in the Sun's lineup that Dalton cannot just shoot over if they play him one on one...unless they put KD on him
yeah for sure but i feel like Dalton and Austin shouldn't start together, so Dalton should start and Austin should come off the bench.
These two are doing their best to be optimistic 😅😅😅. Tank-a-thon😂😂😂
They need a new GM after this season
I would bench Gabe Vincent for Quincy Olivari , Quincy is a better scorer, playmaker, a lot quicker . I’ll start him over Gabe Vincent
Trevor, how was the Lakers transition defense up to the 10 point lead against Denver vs after the 10 point lead?
Trevor, Lakers stopped playing when they went up by 10 on Denver, that was near the end of the 1st half.
Lakers have targets on their backs because everyone wants to beat Lebron. That is why they need strong minded competitors. No softies.

Yall really dont like Cam Reddish do yall?
What makes you say that?
@dmitryowens it's really juss a honest question from listening how they talk about him and analyze
@blaccanubis8169
Trevor has said that Cam is a good defender numerous times and also said that even though he doesn't contribute much on offense he's still better than Gabe Vincent.
D-Lo for Vucevic
Cam Johnson isn't that good - not worth a 1st. He's soft and a weak rebounder.
Put knect back in the starting lineup and boom winner
It's not that simple. Knecht is terrible on defense.
@Jonathan-pp3du yes that may be so, but he's feared as a shooter and it opens the floor and get's others who can't same to shoot easy baskets.
Yea Trev but we lost again to the nuggets that's why
Fixing bets ?
46:56
F Trae Young! He's an inefficient-shooting ball hog and turnover machine. Cam Thomas would be good though.
If anyone wants to make some money bet against the Lakers tonight
Why does Trevor make such a big deal about how the cup courts look ? He complains more than the players..
They not looking for dalton cause dlo , rui and Austin scared they might hit the bench or traded if dalton show what he can do . And gotta get lebron some glasses due to turnovers , he might be color blind 🤡🙈🤪
Why are they not starting DK over Rui he should be consistent starter already
Because of something called defense. Knecht doesn't have it. He got enough minutes anyway.
@@Jonathan-pp3durui don’t either
His defense is far better than Knechts.@@twonobiwonmusic9982
Lakers don't have any goons on the team they are all pretty boys lmaoooooooo lakers need a few Pat Bevs,Morris twins or that goon on the Pistons Isiah
Why warrior and more teams had and easiest schedule than laker 3 times in les than 2 month against suns only detroit was the easiest😂😂😂 complot against lakers?
It's lebrons fault for not committing publicly long time ago. If he committed to a 4 or 5 year plan Rob could make a decisions with a concrete timeline. Year-to-year is good leverage for lebron but not for a franchise. Ask Cleveland.
It's LeBron's fault that Rob can't do his job?
Knicks humiliated the Nuggets last night 145-118
🤣🤣😭😭😭🍼🍼🧂🧂🧂
Now when will Lakers grow a backbone and finally beat Nuggets? 😅😂
@@archiealemanyakmaybe the Lakers should wear another team’s uniforms when they play Denver because they only play great when they play the Lakers lol.
@@archiealemanyakWhen will Jokic finally grow a backbone and beat his DADDY Ant in the playoffs??
🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭🍼🍼🧂🧂🧂
@@CannedHam2479 cry me a river the Fakers are on a streak, but on a LOSING streak 😂😂
@@jaydot4956 this Fakers are done, Fraud team and fraud nba superstars, losing a 1st nba cup game lmao
Gut punch feeling we gonna give Castleton to a contender could've been our backup center
Trevor. Do you think AR should come off the bench & starting Dalton & Rui together? Lebron, Rui, Dalton, Cam, AD
Maybe JJ should stop caring about peoples feelings and start your best players AKA Dalton.
Amen well said......
Knecht is terrible on defense.. There's more to basketball than just jacking up 3 pointers. Whether he started or not he got the minutes and didn't produce.
@@Jonathan-pp3du doesnt matter if he hits shots. He should be on the floor everytime lebron is out there point blank.
Yeah who’s going to be physical and play with force? Austin and Dlo are way too unathletic. Cam, Hayes, Koloko, and Gabe are too small. Rui and AD are too soft. Max and DK don’t have that physical mentality. Finally Lebron is 40 years old and is lazy. Vando and Wood are the only physical players and they are always injured as well.
rob & jeanie are lazier than lebron!
I genuinely hope i can unlike the lakers and stop caring for their stupid games
Teams are a reflection of their GMs Pelinka is soft. Look at all the players he signs. No other teams want our players because they're B rated players. DLO Rui Reeves Hayes Gabe? They're all soft B rated players. We don't hv any agressive players picked up since Pelinka took over. Wait!!! Westbrook and Schroeder. That's it. Get rid of Pelinka. JJ is agressive,not Pelinka( gay) agressive
You mean B grade.
10-7
As a Lakers fan, I feel disheartened. I’ve lost faith in them. They always seem to fall short against Denver. This team isn’t what it was during the championship year, though they’re still really good. If they face Denver in the playoffs or the Western Conference Finals, it feels like the outcome is already written. Without any significant changes, why keep watching? It feels pointless when the result seems inevitable.
I don't think Denver will make the Finals this season - OKC will destroy them if they end up matched up.
@dmitryowens Let's hope.
@cilvestria
I think the Lakers could beat Denver if AD plays hard against Jokic and if Knecht can match Murray on offense.
@dmitryowens AD dissappears, he looks afraid of the moment.
If lebron stops turning the ball over and trying to get back on defense. That would be great
Isn't turning the ball over part of Bron's game 🤔. I mean he's doing it so much and he's so good at it that he's gotta be doing it on purpose.
Did Reaves or Knecht play well with defense? Didn't think so.
@@Jonathan-pp3du were discussing LeBron. Please stop trying to deflect
lebron & ad just won gold & now have to take all the blame from laker fans cause they have to play with BUMS and biggest bum is UNTOUCHABLE!
@@melanisticmuzik6744 notice how LeBron put in effort on the defensive end for the Olympics but refuses to give effort for the Lakers? He's lazy AF and needs energy to stat pad
The AD "has to dominate every game" expectations are unreasonable. To think a guy can be the best player on offense, the best player on defense, the best rebounder, and the only legit post is silly. Let's ask Bron to take care of the ball, AR, Rui, Knecht, Rui to compete on defense, and Gabe to do something before we dump on our only all- star.
let's bring Lebron from the bench. lol
The 2020 team will go down as the most overrated team in lakers history. 90% of the players either retired, played overseas, signed bigger contracts for other teams. Or rode the bench for some other team. Why do yall act like we had a dynasty on our hands
Exactly. It was merely the number one team in the West which happened to win a championship. Nothing near a dynasty.
