Why Christian Wood is a Perfect Fit for the Lakers

[@cliffwoodbury5319]

I've seen CW and when I did I told myself, "it doesn't even look like he's trying" and I know he is all-star caliber. This move is huge if HE shows up.

[@HoopVenue]

A culture shift could definitely spark something, he's never been on a playoff team!

​@@basedleechaoblayou really comparing the mavs to the Lakers when it comes to franchise and culture?

[@iblazekronik]

I honestly think that Phil Handy will work with him like the way they did with Rui and will make him great throughout the season. Just saying that's one of the differences other teams don't have that the Lakers do. And they will have a full training camp before the season starts. Wait till it starts then give you're opinion about cwood. On top of that he is more of upgrade than having Weyen Gabriel that didn't really do jack for the team.

[@Anthonydu01630]

@@basedleechaoblaYeah but their leader was a 23 yo immature Slovenian kid, not f*cking Lebron James or even AD, and he already know coach Ham who was a assistant coach for the BUCKS, and Ham is a good leader for this young immature thug because these type of kids usually respect the OG from the hood and Ham took a gun shot in the head, he from the hood, and he just has that calm but confident aura about him so maybe he will change with these great leaders.

Last season, we lacked depth, but we're starting this pre-season with some great additions.

[@teddyleandre]

We almost have too much depth now 😂

[@jessekittrell2946]

​@teddyleandre not even close. Can't depend on Lebron or AD to play more then 50ish games. Like the adds for sure but gotta remember they also lost Schoder/Nunn/Beasley/& Mo Bamba. Liked most of the signings except DLo. Guy completely disappeared in the Nuggets series & is why they lost. He avgd 17 PPG during the season & they were 7-0 in playoff games he scored 17 or more & were 1-8 when he didn't (with the 1 win coming in the Lonnie Walker game). In the Denver series he avgd 6 PPG on a horrible 32%... he was making $33 mill last year by the way.

[@MvpJoker-p7g]

Lakers recruit more help every year than in NBA team

[@tahmed6052]

@@jessekittrell2946 DLO was a liability at times in the playoffs (Vando too) but the Lakers made the right choice bringing him back. First, we got him on a pretty cheap and tradeable deal. If we need to move him then we can. Second, DLO was absolutely on fire for us in the regular reason. Like you said, Bron & AD are gonna miss a lot of games, and having DLO gives us a lot of firepower in the regular season. Even if he just helps us avoid the play-in and keeps our other guys more rested then it'll be a plus.

[@jirichard]

i can't take you serious by saying the we lost Nunn, beasley and Mo bamba. That's laughable and only schroder is the only lost but it might not be at all because we replaced him with gabe vincent. And resigning DLo for 18 million instead of 33 mil is a steal. We don't be Golden STate or Memphis without some of the big games he had in those series. Yes he stunk in the West Finals but i like to thank that if he does that again Gabe will be in there but i'm willing to bet he plays better and more consistent as well. This team can be and should be way better than last years team that made it to the West Finals especially with all the depth and size......pause brought in. ONe thing that people fail to mention is this team was thrown together at the trade deadline. Now all these new pieces get a training camp and offseason etc together.@@jessekittrell2946

[@ScreenSurfer288]

Yes, Christian Wood would be a great addition to the Lakers. His versatility and scoring ability would complement LeBron James and Anthony Davis very well. He can stretch the floor with his shooting and also provide a strong presence in the paint. Additionally, his athleticism and rebounding skills would greatly benefit the team. Overall, Christian Wood's skillset makes him a perfect fit for the Lakers' championship aspirations.

[@rob3h]

Aaron Gordon was done in Orlando. Revived his career when he found a perfect role. It's about fit sometimes. Another example is Rui.

[@yapyap3]

Honestly, his fit in Orlando was great. He was just tasked to carry that team as a first option. He's not a first option type of guy. Him playing behind Murray and Jokic, also having MPJ, KCP, Brown takes away defensive attention from him, so he's more free to do his thing. He was never done, he's just not capable of being the first option, and that's not a bad thing.

[@Javonta-p3u]

And yes he did

[@Fotosynthesis858]

I’ve seen a lot of haters hating on this trade. Saying Wood isn’t even that good, that he’s difficult to work with etc etc. But I think they’re just salty Lakers-haters who are bitter because the Lakers just got even deeper. And they’re bitter because they got him for just $5.7 mill.

[@juwanrigby1924]

When playing against certain teams I could see wood playing center and ad at the 4 so wood can bring the opposing team center away from the basket making room for bron and ad to work the paint. While AR and dlo/gab be on the perimeter

[@bsn0730]

I think the fact lebron is on the team is huge for how well this signing will work. I've heard rumblings through podcasts I listen to that he may be difficult to work with as a teammate and rough for coaches, but I would think lebron being there to set things straight would make it tough for most players to act selfishly against the team's best interest.

[@jessekittrell2946]

Yeah Lebrons leadership combined with Wood being from Cali plus the fact he's 27/28 now in his prime & maybe a little more mature all add up to the chances being better he will buy in lto the team.

[@jay12120]

Also this is the first contender he has been on so he has a real reason to act right. And he knows Darvin ham from his Milwaukee days so christian is in a more comfortable situation

As long as he don’t get jumpshot happy & just find easy buckets whether it’s a catch & shoot situation or an easy dunk. He just needs to be a complimentary player because he can score in every way I’ll credit him with that. But just not in the way he’s been trying to. Unless he comes off the bench. He can mimic Anthony Davis pretty well & can seem as if AD never sits if that makes sense. Could really be a good piece but it’s up to him & also how he’s played by the coach/gameplans. We’ll see!

This story is an old one: There are players who have, inexplicably, dropped in value/interest by teams, and get signed at a grave discount. It's always a case of the new team believing they have a shot at rehabilitating the player.

Wood is solid the thing that makes teams not like him is his mentality he’s too proud to be the Swiss Army knife that he is and it lowering his appeal most players out the league right now are there because of their mentality causing issues with the team I think he will take Vanderbilt’s spot based on being able to hide behind AD on the defensive side and he has to be respected on the perimeter so his defender won’t leave him open and double someone else which they were doing to Vanderbilt and they will use Vanderbilt throughout the game to get some stops and have someone that can get into foul trouble with no issue so wood can stay out of foul trouble

[@JOHNNYPMUSIC]

Hey HV do u think Anthony Davis can still play PF? Or do u think the loss of his jumpshot & mobility requires him to be a 5? & Do u think LeBron can still run full time Pg like 2020? Or he’s declined to the point he can’t handle that burden?

[@HoopVenue]

I think AD can definitely play the 4, next to the right 5. His shooting isn't a problem next to a guy like Wood because of the spacing, and he'd still be the primary P&R big + vertical spacer. On the LeBron point, it's weird because I think he's still maximized on-ball, but doesn't have the stamina to do it in that same fashion, so I think having guys like Reaves/Dlo helps mitigate that load and keep him at his best for when you do need him to dominate the rock.

[@JOHNNYPMUSIC]

@@HoopVenue with that being said what would ur starting 5 for the lakers? Going into 2024?

[@HoopVenue]

I think I'd roll out DLo, Reaves, Bron, Wood, AD to start the season (I know they're going with Rui). Taurean Prince is the best defensively of the 3, and a solid passer so he'd be interesting as well. A lot of people seem to think I'm just completely missing the mark with Wood, but narratives shift with guys who have tools and finally put them together on more competitive teams. Not saying Wood is *this* good, but I remember how they talked about Wiggins in Minny, Gordon in Orlando, and many other high-level contributors.

Specifically with the Lakers I think wood could work because of his strengths being some of the lakers weaknesses but keep in mind Wood has no idea what he’s doing on defense 70% of the time, he has more turnovers than assists almost every season so no do not call him a passer at all, and his offense outside of P&R and spot up 3’s is usually outside of the team offense and can get very annoying just a heads up lakers fans (mavs fan that also watched him on pistons, pels, bucks and rockets)

[@chugcanthoop]

All that to say yes he can score but also that’s about it, just imagine if Lou Williams was 6’11 and also imagine how Lou’s bad defense would effect the team if he was a big man having those lapses and you’ve got Christian wood to a T

[@chugcanthoop]

May I reiterate Wood cannot pass, I know he has passing highlights but look at assists to turnovers

[@HoopVenue]

Just to push back on the AST:TO point, I don't think that quite captures what exactly is happening when he's passing the ball. His tendency to get offensive fouls on drives, awkward footwork on travels, illegal screens, and loose handle/ball control all contribute to turnovers but have nothing to do with his passing. That's not to say he's a great passer, just that he's shown to be *somewhat capable*.
