The Los Angeles Lakers 2024-2025 NBA Season

I think they should just go with what they have and let the players build their Defense-in-the Paint with DFS, Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Hayes, Kokolo, Jemison, and near the end of a game, Reddish.

Reddish is getting garbage time mpg now that we have DFS.

Koloko and Jamison are not very good IMO.

Emergency subs....only played a lot because we had very little in the way of options. And they cheap.

I wish Dallas would’ve taken Knecht instead of Christie.

I wonder if the Lakers hadn’t inserted Christie into the starting lineup those 2 weeks prior, if Dallas would’ve asked for Knecht instead as he had done more at that point than Christie.

Problem with Knecht is he is just a shooter, and they don’t have room in the lineup for him now. They have plenty of shooters.

They will have room when they flip AR and a contract for a C and some bench help. Might also get a future 1st rounder back for AR.

Christie is a nice role player but being greedy and wishing they took somebody else instead for a guy like Luka? LOL.

We are starting to see a side of LeBron that some weren't aware of.
He can post up high or low and look like he's been a post-up man his whole career.
He can play the 5 and play it well, for limited minutes against certain line-ups,

Lots of guys are going to get easy buckets playing with LBJ & Luka.
Agree with many here that if they lose early in the playoffs, subpar defense will be the reason.
