    Anyway.....

    Get. Shooters.

    Then Get. More. Shooters.

    And after you've done that, get another shot creator off the bench.

    Throw whatever competent and able body you can for center depth while you look for EVEN. MORE. SHOOTERS.

    the 5 position is so easy to fill, it’s basically either you go the route of someone like Myles Turner, but if you don’t then it’s just literally any 5 that can defend the paint, finish around the basket, and rebound the ball decently. That’s it and there’s no need for anyone who does anything more than that. Damian Jones could start the entire season next to AD and we could win a championship because the 5 spot is a revolving door of the Dwight/Javale archetype as long as AD is on the Lakers.

    shooters, shot creation, playmaking, shooters and more shooters. yup.

    THANK YOU. This is what I was preaching all along!

    Look at all the shooting spectacles that are occurring this postseason. The two teams who couldn't keep up with the rest of the pack were us and the Knicks and both teams are gone.

    Idk how many times we said "offense is the problem" LITERALLY all season for us to think "yup...gotta get another center" when we've been a team building brick houses for damn near a decade

    We prioritized center with Drummond and got a downgrade in finishing at the basket, a lob threat, and I'd even argue paint defense from a guy we had on 10-day contracts in Damian Jones man lmfao. When you're a team with Anthony Davis, thinking you need to run twin towers is negating the advantage that Anthony Davis gives you, while also taking away room for LeBron James to operate inside.

    They say build teams inside out, but when you have AD and LeBron you're already built better inside than pretty much everyone else. FOCUS OUTSIDE!!

    Agreed, MLE should be spent on a wing or backcourt player. Get a center with the minimum, centers aren’t and shouldn’t be a priority when AD plays a chunk of time at the 5 in the playoffs.

    I was going say this. Schroeder is a scoring guard who is in a PG body. We need a guard who can control the game, set people up, attack the rim. We settle for too many jumpers at times, and Lebron needs help handling the point.

    THT - is another 2 guard
    Caruso- is a combo guard but doesn’t really take anyone off the dribble.

    I wording mind drafting a young quick pg in the first with a quick first step. Would be nice for the bench unit

    A rookie PG can’t really help this team, it’s insane to put that pressure on a rookie pg who not even a lottery pick

    I won't necessarily say that, but niggas never recovered from letting Dwight, Boogie, and Javale go.

    Our entire offense had to change to accommodate the losses there. Couldn't overcome it and the new offense didn't have us in a better position than last year. AD took the biggest hit from the changes.

    Did Boogie ever see a minute of pt with the Lakers?

    Also, can people stop pretending Javale Mcgee wasn’t complete butt cheeks? Great guy but he was not a good player for us at all lol

  • Jun 8, 2021

    Myles Turner would be the perfect center for us... a stretch 5 who also protects the paint and can play pick and roll defense

    Does Lebron get along with Derick Rose 🌹? He would be the perfect PG to pick up if we can’t land Lowry. He’s an actual PG who understands how to control tempo, play smart, and can shoot. He also wouldn’t be scared. Believe it or not, a lot of people can’t handle being a laker. You play for the most popular team and have a lot of clout. I think New York might get a PG with a Max deal. Rose is 32 and coming off a good season. Should be solid for another 2-3 years

    what about Cam Payne lol

    can’t believe how fast the consensus went from ā€œBron is MVPā€ to ā€œBron lost a step and won’t ever be the sameā€ off one injury that he couldn’t fully recover from during the season.

    Last time Bron had a #revengeSZN here, we won it all…
