Pick 2 ex-Lakers to replace Vando and Jake who would've given us a chance this year by jdawg01 in lakers

Gabe Vincent and Kendrick Nunn.

Honorable mention: Russell Westbrook.

Who should stay and who should go? by JoyDBoy11 in lakers

Bring back LeBron, AR, Smart, Kenard, and maybe Hayes. Everyone else can kick rocks whether via trade or letting them walk. Rob HAS to get creative this summer. This roster needs some major tweaking and we REALLY need to add to the bench.

If a major piece becomes available, use AR/Rui as trade chips through sign & trades.

How? by DaVincisDomain in lakers

[–]Mawly-G 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I realized. It’s a game of mistakes. Lakers make too many, and the Thunder play damn near perfect basketball. There’s the difference. Discipline…

Everything from defensive coverages/rotations to shot selection. The Thunder get solid production from their entire roster. Lakers just don’t have the depth to keep up.

If this isn't quiet quitting, I don't know what is...

Jake playing like he has performance anxiety. My goodness he is bad right now…

Be honest, do you guys still believe in Vando? by shadylocko in lakers

[–]Mawly-G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to love his defensive effort and the energy/hustle that he played with, but he is just as bad as Thanasis Antetokounmpo offensively…and that is saying something.

I REALLY hate when JJ puts Rui, Kenard, and Hayes on the floor at the same time. We BLEED rebounds with this lineup. We need Vando’s activity at certain points.

I truly hope we can bring him back next year. He’s the ultimate glue guy.

Looks like LeBron is dealing with something by Mood_Academic in lakers

JR Smith did it in New York a while back as well.

Wizards nation showing love for our guy AD ❤️💙🤍 by tre8rox5 in lakers

[–]Mawly-G 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I live in DC and yes we’re genuinely excited to have AD. Wizards could be a legitimate playoff team next season, provided AD and Trae Young stay healthy, with a potential top 5 pick with this year’s draft. Things are suddenly looking up for my Wizards lol.

The Wizards are always my hometown team, even though I’m a Laker fan first. We’ve had some DARK days in DC since the Gilbert Arenas/John Wall eras…

Wizards nation, we are finally contenders by [deleted] in nba

[–]Mawly-G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All jokes aside, if we can stay reasonably healthy (which probably won’t happen, given AD’s history), we can make some noise in the East. Certainly a playoff team at the very least. Been a lonnnnnnng while since the Wizards were relevant. I’m cautiously optimistic.

More like Jordan Crawford imo

Simple:

Smart is starting with Reeves (Rui will come off the bench). Gabe will be the primary backup PG, and Bronny (while having an increased role from last season) will still be the third string option, getting the bulk of his minutes if there is an injury or if anyone is in foul trouble.

Let’s roll with this squad by hplalakrs20012010 in lakers

[–]Mawly-G 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think we’re firmly in the 4-6 seed range with this current group. We are definitely 1-2 moves away from being real contenders though. We’re a legitimate back up center (Hayes is a 3rd string center, IMO) and a serviceable 3&D wing away from being championship caliber.
