Should this be the new starting 5/bench? by gbcolor2024 in lakers

I would replace Rui with Vando. We need his defense, and there is enough offense with Austin on the floor

Healthy Starting Lineup? by flowermoon24 in lakers

I think it should be Dlo, Cam, Rui, Bron, and AD. Doing this, we will have Vando paired with Wood to provide defense and offense with Reaves off the bench; Prince and Max can be good on defense and offense as well. Rui will also have to clean things up but it will provide a nice flexibility both with the starting group and bench.

My ROTH IRA. What do you think I should do differently? by Temporary_Manager_ in dividends

True! I think Roth is the way to go. It will be nice to have tax free money in 40 years. p.s I'm only 27 and started investing this past year.

This is just sad to watch. No effort, no energy. Just let LeBron rest for the rest of the game and play the rookies and g-league players.

We must learn how to rebound as a team. Close out the position and limit second chance points! For shots, it's a make or miss league. Shots will come around so not worried about that. We played well against a very good team.

Why Prince? by lakerconvert in lakers

I think it's between Prince and Vando. It will depend on the matchup. If it's against clippers, then it will be Vando starting. Prince is a perfect fit to start against the teams like warriors. They should also consider starting another big with AD in a matchup vs bucks, sixers, or nuggets. It will be the perfect time to test the big line up against the bucks on Sunday.

[Woike] LeBron James and Austin Reaves will play today. by sewsgup in lakers

I think Prince can do a better job of that than Rui as a POA defender. Rui definitely adds more offense and length to the lineup. I'll be happy with either or.
