jason is one of the smartest dudes that i have seen talk basketball in a long time. its been frustrating dealing with certain people and fans that dont understand whats actually wrong with the lakers roster and try and and blame things they just see on the surface. our problems have always been deeper than just needing a "big". if guards like spencer dinwiddie and quinton grimes can look like all stars against u, u know something more than just a "big" is wrong.

@@rodh-ww6ii biggest issue by far has been 2 way player depth and reliable shooting. u cant be a bottom 5 shooting team either with two paint dominant players like lebron and ad like we have been past few years esp in the era we exist in. we are on the right path with acquisition of finney smith but man would i love a guy like cam johnson or jerami grant on this team. u need that offensive punch against elite teams like okc, cavs, celtics, knicks etc. thankfully most of the tough elite teams are in the easy rn but still my point stands, if we are going for it all we need to make a real move!

​@@brilliantbehaviour point and proof a comment like this... did u just compare an elite scoring guard like donovan mitchel and a bucket like darius garland to our guards in reaves and christie? the whole reason u would need a guy like bruce brown is to stop these elite guards...we dont have the luxury of having a guy like kyrie( who we coulda had btw) or dearon fox. this is the exact reason we have to go the opposite route atleast to slow down these type of players. donovan mitchel is no walk over on defense either btw.. he guards well cuz of his athletic ability. and on the other end the dribble pressure, the shot creation ability and so many other things is the reason he is so dangerous.. name me one guard we have had that even comes close to that?

I think you might be taking the 'need a big' sentiment out of context. Most of the fan base knows that against 80% of the teams in the NBA, we are big enough in our front court. It's the bigger and more physical front courts that give us issues, where AD needs help on the boards. In Denver's case, not only do they have a bigger front court, but Jokic is the only big that makes AD a negative on defense, simply because Jokic backing him down nullifies all of AD's defensive strengths. When AD has to ask for help to double, and he's your best defender, you know your defense is going to get exploited. This is why they had Rui guard Jokic a lot in their match-ups the past year, so that AD can roam more on defense, and help Rui IF Jokic starts to abuse Rui, but that Rui would be the sacrifice to lose his energy (his legs) banging with Jokic rather than AD losing his legs. This allowed AD to have fresh legs on offense, which is why AD had a far better series against Denver last post season, and why Rui had a worse series against Denver (2024) then the previous series they played against Denver (2023). For the past 3 years we have been a bad rebounding team, but 2023 fooled us, because we got to the conference finals. The Grizzlies were missing Steven Adams, and Golden State is a small team when Looney isn't on the floor. We saw what Steven Adams did to us in the 3rd quarter of the Rockets game. AD couldn't keep him off the boards, because he's just too strong for AD. If you notice, all of these are situational circumstances. This is why I wouldn't advocate for getting a center that demands a starting spot, nor would I give up 1st round picks. Our needs for a big at the back-up spot is very specific, and just because a player may be a starting center on another team, doesn't mean he will give us what we need. A lot of the centers I hear us talking about in trade rumors may be starting caliber, but they won't help us in the two situations I mentioned above. I've said this before, but the type of center we need can be gotten for cheap, because our need isn't that they are an all-around center. We just need a center who is strong enough to not get pushed under the basket by Jokic, so that we don't have to double team Jokic. A lot of people say, "oh but no one can stop Jokic." It's not about stopping him, it's about not getting abused by him to the point we have to double team. Jokic scores so easily on AD and Rui in 1v1, that Jokic shoots 60%+ against us in the 13-15 game winning streak they have on us. In the Timberwolves series, Jokic averaged 55%, and they didn't have to double him, because they had multiple big bodies to throw at him. I'm talking about physical bigs, not twigs at the center spot. We have twigs at center. Even PFs can guard him if they are strong and tall enough, because being a C doesn't automatically make you hard to be pushed around. So we just need a physical big man that will allow us to play Denver straight up on defense, because going into a series having to double team more than half the time is a slow death with no hope of a comeback. I told people before that series that Darvin Ham was going to get fired after the series for getting sweps/gent swept again, and it wouldn't even be his fault, because how many defensive schemes can you run when you are limited to running schemes where you double??? I bet 70% of Ham's defensive playbook was not able to be used against Denver. Now Wemby is a twig, but gives Jokic problems, because he is so tall and long, that even if he is being shoved and off balance, his wingspan still hovers over the top of Jokic, but 99% of the other twigs in the NBA aren't like Wemby. So we don't stand a chance against Denver if AD is our biggest center, and for the last two years, AD has been our biggest and only defensively capable center. I've said it before that 3 bigs C/PF or Cs that come to mind that can bang with Jokic, but still move their feet well enough to not get hunted in pick n rolls, was Dwight Howard, Tristian Thompson, and Andre Drummond. All of these guys move laterally like offensive tackles in pick n roll coverage. Dwight may not be prime Dwight, but he's capable of giving us most of what he gave us in 2020. A lot of people like to point to 2022 as evidence he cannot, but our perimeter defense was so trash in 2022 (after Westbrook trade), that no big man was going to make a difference when our perimeter was getting blown by on a nightly basis. Even Vogel said he couldn't figure out a way to make that team work on defense. This is why I don't think that all we need is a big man, but I will say it till I'm blue in the face, that against Denver, it is the primary reason we can't beat them, because even with our mediocre perimeter defense, we still beat good perimeter oriented teams, because Vando and Schroder. Against Denver, Vando got bullied off the court by Aaron Gordon, and couldn't switch onto Jokic like Rui could, and Schroder got nullified by screens, and had no help fighting over the pick n roll screens, because the bigs had to shade Jokic. So Schroder ended up having as much success containing Murray in the pick n roll coverage as D'lo and AR, because being a good perimeter defender doesn't matter if you are defending a Pick n roll without the big being able to hedge, and Murray constantly got into the mid range pockets or just shot 3s if Schroder went under. It's like Schroder was defending the coverage by himself, and that's all because of the gravity Jokic was creating, because neither AD nor Rui could keep Jokic out of the restricted area by themselves. In the 2023 conference finals, Ham used Tristian Thompson too late, as he had big impact on Jokic, but we were already down in the series 3-0 before he got used. All of those 3 guys I just mentioned are back-up level bigs, because they have glaring weaknesses in other areas on defense or on the offensive side of the ball, but we don't care about that. We just need a big like one of those 3 for their strengths, so that we don't have to start them or promise minutes, but when they do get in, they will play like starting caliber centers, because we are playing them specifically at what they thrive at. If we get one of those 3 bigs, we can use our draft capital on perimeter 2-way players, which is what I said months ago. We got DFS for 3 2nd round picks, and we could get a 2-way guard that can defend point of attack for a 1st round pick. Kessler is too expensive, and the other bigs we mention are either not on the market anymore (Myles Turner), or they would just get abused in pick n roll (Val and Vuc), or get bullied by Jokic (Nick Richards). So we have Dwight out there saying he'd basically join for free, which allows us to not have to use any draft capital on the type of big we need, why the hell not? Or, we can just give a g-league level player to Cleveland for Tristian Thompson. 76ers don't really need Drummond, so he can also be gotten on the cheap. I just think that the sooner we get the players we need in our system, the faster we can build the chemistry needed, so that they won't be a negative on the floor simply due to lack of knowing our schemes.

@Eastra3
@Eastra3 15 күн бұрын
I think we have lost more after getting DFS, because JJ thought that having to play around AR and D'lo required trying to switch less to keep them from getting exploited, and that he could run more of his full time switching schemes getting DFS. Well, Dallas showed us that switching on everything isn't viable with just AR, even if blown coverages was the primary issue. Over-switching does also lead to eventually blowing coverages, although what Dallas was doing doesn't necessarily cause as much switching as playing against a motion offense would. I think we should try to find a balance to switching, because during our winning streak, we switched when needed, not all the time. "coaching the team he wants vs the team he has" was an excellent comment. A good coach will mold his schemes to his personnel.

Richards is a fine backup big. We also clear a roster spot to sign Fultz and add another 2nd round pick which Charlotte has a ton of extras. Charlotte gets a good young prospect for them and slots nicely with Ball, Miller, Bridges, and Williams long term.

He can’t play defense and it’s struggling offensively. Same goes for Rui. We don’t know if he’s going to show up everyday in the playoffs. Maybe if he’s coming off the bench he can produce more offensively in case lakers keep him.

When do we acknowledge the trade did not fix the issue? At least not yet. Maybe with a little more time they'll improve, but you would expect effort issues and defense to resolve, and it hasn't. The mental lapses, effort lapses and willingness to settle is hard to watch.

I don’t agree with Jovan- the 2020 model is outdated. The perimeter is faster than 5 years ago and AD wasn’t great with 3s this year - having R Williams + AD in the lineup asks for problems in terms of defending 3S and spacing in the offense.

@jovanbuha 15 күн бұрын
I don’t believe in the 2020 model full-time. I think AD is a 5 and LeBron is a 4. But I think Robert Williams is good as a backup and you can find 1-2 shifts per game where he and AD can play for 3-4 minutes. But I don’t think they should go full-time to two bigs. AD and LeBron are different players now

@@jovanbuhaThx for the reply Jovan - that’s rare to have someone running the channel to reply. Don’t you think that R Williams salary is too high for a backup big? It’s 12 mil so we would have to trade Gabe + probably Jax. Just saying that getting N Richards, Kessler, Sharpe, Huff or even Theis would be better if we also got a decent 3&D guard. Take care and stay safe with your close ones with all the fires at LA!

@ I try to reply as much as I can, especially when I see thoughtful comments. If you could flip Gabe for RW, I’m OK with that. I think it’s easier to find minutes to replace Gabe within the rotation. I’d obviously prefer Kessler. He’s my No. 1 trade target. But the price is really high. I like Richards and Sharpe too as bargain gambles. I don’t know if Memphis would give up Huff. I used to like Theis but I think he’s closed to washed now (though, who knows, maybe he’s better than Jaxson)

48:47 the Mavs game was the first time I'd put almost the entire blame for the loss on JJ. He ran a bunch of plays and made a bunch of stupid decisions. Having AD out on the perimeter far too often on the catch (even though some of this is AD's fault for being passive) AND keeping 2/3 guys off the court at the same time. He is taking too long to recognize how the game is going and what his roster really is. We can't have 2 of these guys off the court at the same time unless its for literally just a few seconds: Bron, AD, AR. Rest them 1 at a time. And stop keeping AD on the bench that long in the 4th quarter.

Trade Rui, Gabe, vando,jhs for Zach lavine. That’s the athletic guard we need, provides consistent 23ppg, athleticism, speed, and he can close out games. I think he will be an even better player for a contender team come playoff time. 2nd & cheaper option maybe Dejounte Murray

Really don’t understand the Bruce Brown obsession amongst Lakers fan. He’s been injured and even when he did play he looked mediocre and his advanced stats confirmed the eye test. He is no longer a good defender and is pretty much mediocre at almost everything. Mediocre playmaker, mediocre defender, mediocre shooter, mediocre scorer. For 23M ? No thanks, I’d rather keep Rui
