@DamienPetersNBA Think they need to give AR and vando all the mins out of bronny and most of Jake’s mins. Need our best athletes flanking him. Hopefully he can give us a real offensive punch to finish off the rockets

Austin Reaves looks like he could be good to go next game. The question is, do you put him out there? Lakers have shown they can win this series without him. His addition would most definitely help ball handling responsibilities. He could be a little premature on a usual recovery timeline however. There’s every possibility rust is also disruptive. Not an easy decision considering all factors.

@HawthornFanatic What are your thoughts on him and Hodges draft positions roughly at this stage? Second rounders?

@ZuluSixFour Yep, I knew this was gonna be a game to try a few of the other guys, the writing is on the wall for JJ. Crazy but vando is well ahead of him in the rotation if we are being honest

I don’t know what his obsession was with Gabe Vincent and now LaRavia. I need this guy away from the Roster. He’s AWFUL. I don’t understand how a player has 20+ min a game, he gets the ball consistently and his confidence is shot. We have Knecht sitting on the bench getting no play and this goofball is taking up space and giving us NOTHING.

Why isn’t Vando in the game to give us some defense??? I’m so confused

@BradKlibansky Bailey and Matt hill look electric out there think they can get a game this year? McCabe moving really well atm greaves impressive too

@ZuluSixFour Think in the next game inject Reaves and Adou, take all of Jake’s mins. Bron gonna be tired might as well put him out there with our best athletes and Reaves can take some of the balling handling burden from the bench spot.

JJ gotta go to Adou Thiero or Knecht, Bc Jake isn’t giving us anything out there. We gotta give our guys a breather.

@RichStapless Should just give Adou some mins, bron vando Adou Bronny probs our most athletic look

I’m all for giving all of LaRavia’s minutes to Vando. I’m living with it. At least he ain’t scared. Who wit me?

@Lake_and_Bake77 @cursed6ix Interesting thing to say after the way the medical staff cleared them the game they got hurt 😂 were they taking there healthy seriously then?

@PeterFr34617072 @cursed6ix be so fucking frl twin if they were getting injured because of golfing the medical staff would shut that shit down immediately. they take their health a lot more seriously in the nba than you seem to realize

lebron fc yall really cool w this? leaving a 41 year old to die bro

@Lake_and_Bake77 @cursed6ix I mean work on there physical conditioning throughout the year, Luka is always out of shape and Reaves been getting soft issue and back injuries all the time, probs from playing golf which can over work parts of the body.

@PeterFr34617072 @cursed6ix so let me ask you seriously. do you truly believe they are avoiding treatment and forcing themselves to have a longer recovery just so they can play golf?

@Lake_and_Bake77 @cursed6ix Work on there condition instead of playing golf

@cursed6ix again, they are injured. what would you like them to do.

@BallsackSports @JonnyRoot_ Bro one of best bait tweets ive come across 😂 fucking cooked him

@JonnyRoot_ Look brother I’m gonna stroke my meat here in about 20 minutes l was just cooking you for the love of the game and for a few quick Elon bucks, that’s my grift. I don’t rate you as a basketball mind or hooper lol. What’s your favorite gooning material, though?

The whole LeBron & Bronny playing together in a playoff game thing felt gimmicky & forced. Sure, a father sharing the court with his son is a dream come true, I can recognize the beauty of that as a father, but Bronny played 4 minutes, threw an awful pass for a turnover, & got cooked on defense. No points. No rebounds. No assists. No positive contrition. I’m not trying to be a hater, Bronny just felt more like a Make A Wish Kid than an NBA player getting deserved minutes in a playoff game.

@deadboylyfee Black and Suggs for Reaves and picks?

@NBAGeneralist_ Not sure if I believe that, say if the magic wanna shed salary black & Suggs would be a great 2 way guards who I could plug in at the SG and PG position, I would be looking to poach them. around Luka and LeBron would be insane, so much better defensively with a real big.

@PeterFr34617072 i’m not personally in the trade reaves boat bc i don’t think there’s someone better next to luka

assuming we are talking about the 18th pick i could see it happening. Take Morez Johnson Jr with 18 and then back it up with Carr or Krivas at 25 could easily put them at an A+ for me 2031 top 4 protected pick might get it done tbh, so yes i could see it 100% and would do it

@PlayoffDude He’s got no leverage vet min or leave LA 😂

Yes or pass? 🤔

@NBAGeneralist_ Do you think a lakers future first could get the okc pick? Be a good move to bring in young talent to build around luka

how would you rate this offseason: Draft Morez Johnson Jr & Tarris Reed Jr Sign Mitchell Robinson (18) and Matisse Thybulle (8) Resign: Austin Reaves (35), Luke Kennard (9), Marcus Smart (8), Lebron (MLE) address defense and size concerns, all pretty realistic imo lmk tho

@CanyonDriver Mike do you think this is a realistic option for the lakers to pick off a 2nd first off a team? Think building through the draft is the way to go

Krivas is easily among the most refined defenders at that pick. Cam Carr is a great athlete at SG with a tremendous wingspan, spot up 3pt shooting ability, attacks closeouts dynamically, and draws fouls well. If he were more refined defensively, he wouldn't be near the LAL pick

@BronnyMuse06 He’s POA defence is there but he needs to gain confidence in he’s offensive game if he wants mins in the playoffs

Bron and Bronny pick and roll are so effective

@mcten @KamBrothers Give me a bron- vando- Timme lineup they were killing early in the year

JJ Redick said he has met with Jarred Vanderbilt since the OKC situation the other night. Redick did not share details about what was shared but said the talk went “great.”

@ZuluSixFour Man you have good takes this being one of them. The crazy thing also is vando has been better than Jake from 3. The very thing Jj value above all this theoretical spacing which is unachievable with the current roster

I mean, Vando picks up full court, slashes, tries to fight over and or under screens, he goes for offensive boards, gets steals, blocks In a shorter span of time than LaRavia does but LaRavia gets this insane leash although he’s TERRIBLE literally on a nightly basis. JJ is biased and he needs to just come out with it already. LaRavia gives us nothing. He showed up one game in Indy and that was it
