The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

[Retroram52]

Apparently the Lakers have a couple of major weaknesses. This article outlines them well. Bench scoring as a whole really sucks and of course the Lakers are a horrible defensive team and have been for awhile!!

Two big weaknesses have already emerged for the Lakers

It's very early in the season, but the Lakers already have two big problems.

Defense would get a quick boost when Vando returns. Koloko may help in a depth role as well, once he gets fully worked into the rotation. If the Lakers finally pull the trigger on a trade, hopefully they focus on that as well. Right now, the only real defenders are AD, Christie and Reddish (maybe Vincent?). Lebron tends to float, and we know Dlo/AR/Knecht aren't defensive minded.

Can this get pinned, @trojanfan12?

 

[DJ Fieri]

Was nervous in the first half as they struggled but they managed to put it away in the 2nd half.

Reddish has been a nice insertion into the starting lineup as a defender and Russell is playing well off the bench with the 2nd unit as the primary scorer.

Back-to-backer coming at the end of the week. Both away games. We suck on the road, so the Lakers could be at the bottom of the standings by Sunday.

Click bait bullshit. We don't need no Zach Lavine.

Bleacher Report writer suggests the Lakers trade for two-time All-Star high-flying guard

One Bleacher Report writer feels the Lakers should consider trading for a two-time All-Star who has some red flags but also some qualities they need.

Absolutely trash trade. Lakers already are struggling with their bench, so let's trade multiple pcs for a contract that nobody wants. Hell no.

Russell to the Nets for Schroder and Sharpe sounds much better to me. Expand it to Russell/Rui/JHS/Lewis for Schroder/Sharpe/Johnson? Use the extra roster spot to elevate Olivari or Koloko.

All depends on the Nets being sellers (which they should be; their decent start needs to be tanked to rebuild IMO).

 

[DJ Fieri]

The Spurs and Pels up next.

Need to win both and be sitting at 8-4.

 

[DJ Fieri]

So far we are 5-0 at home but just 1-4 on the road.

 

[Retroram52]

Another win getting by the Grizz.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Good win.

The amazing Bron James had another triple double, AD, Hachimura and Reaves all had good games and Knecht 4 was the guy off the bench nailing all 5 treys. He is going to be a major player for us.....

 

[DJ Fieri]

6-0 at home.

 

[Retroram52]

7-4 on the year. This trade might be feasible as the Lakers look to move Schifino-Hood.

This mock trade lands the Lakers a forward who is a 3-point sniper

The mock trade has the potential to seriously improve the Lakers' utter lack of bench scoring, as well as upgrade their 3-point shooting.

Lakers go to San Antonio on Friday. It is time for the Lakers to turn around this poor win-loss record for away games.

Not the worst but would take minutes from Knecht, so not sure that it's a high priority.

I believe that's a cup game, so get ready for a colored court-induced headache lol.

 

[DJ Fieri]

Damn, Bron has 3 straight triple doubles.....

He's not human, he's a robot.

 

[Retroram52]

Another player, I was screaming for the Lakers to draft when they had the chance. They are now looking for a good Center and this guy was the ticket. Now AD has to face him and Edey is playing serious minutes and doing very well at the Center spot for Memphis. I suppose Knecht is a good seconds but what could have been with Edey.

Anthony Davis talks about playing against Grizzlies rookie standout Zach Edey

Anthony Davis was tested in the Lakers' win on Wednesday against the Grizzlies when he was matched up against rookie center Zach Edey.

LA vs SA is a good 'un.

 

[Retroram52]

Yep, nice win and the Lakers hold down spot 5 in the West.
