[@小帥-o3m]

Let’s go lakers

[@SirButtah]

The shot blocking and rim running will be just what the doctor ordered. I can see him fitting with Max, Rui, and AD for some nice defense and spacing lineups. Didn't know he had so many clutch 3s to his name. A guy not afraid to take and hit big shots is always welcomed. He has a nice burst of speed, and overall good timing. I'ma miss D'lo. He was a good team presence, always encouraging his guys, and a fantastic passer. He couldn't find his jumper in his role, so I understand why it was time to move on from him. Just make sure to get a true point guard to replace him. Austin has been good at the point, but it isn't his purest position. Need a true PG off the bench, and a backup center, and we're ready.

[@victorfilipponi8373]

Is DFS a great poa defender? I don’t know much about him and if his a dfender like vando that can guard quick guards like Fox and this type of guards, only thing I know is that he’s shooting 45% from 3

[@SirButtah]

@@victorfilipponi8373 he's a versatile defender. Not as good with quicker guards as Vando, but better with bulkier players. Max will still be primary defender on the ball, but DFS will be good with help defense and switches.

[@victorfilipponi8373]

@ Ok, so now Lakers need a real 2 to get that poa defense and a solid 3, so max can come off the bench

[@Chim_Chimx2]

​​@@victorfilipponi8373so you don't watch laker games? Max is averaging 11.5 ppg 2.5 rpg and 1.3 stls on 49/46/95 shooting splits he's been a much better player as a starter than off the bench. The last thing we need is another guard we badly need another big.
