Vando and Rui should both start. Reeves should not be considered a lock. He needs to earn a starting job just like everyone else not named LeBron or AD.
I would input Vando to play the 4 to help switch, rebound, block shots & help weak side when AD is isn’t near the rim. Also guard the best opposing player.
No Let Vando Stay At The 3 I do not want Bron being my starting SF in 2024 and AD just needs a big body backup center key word “backup center” not a starting one.
Defense 1st Mentality head coaches would make sure 6’8 defensive specialist Jarred Vanderbilt on the 1st Unit because there is a below-average 1-on-1 defender at BOTH GUARD SPOTS. J.J. Redick is the total opposite, he cares more about his Playbook X’s & O’s on offense. Hachimura can use a single Wide Pindown Screen for catch & shoot 18-20 footer
I think I might start Max and Vando instead of Austin and Rui. 1 less of an issue defensively for Austin and Rui….2. Allows Austin and Dlo more time ball handling which gives them the ability to do what they do best. Gabe isn’t the best at playmaking and with Austin it would take some of that pressure off his hands. Starting lineup Dlo Max Vando LBJ AD 2nd unit Gabe Austin Dalton/Reddish Rui Hayes Have Wood get minutes with AD and LBJ considering how well he played next to them before injury. Still have Austin have the lion share of minutes over Max. Make sure Rui and Vando share enough minutes and depending on what you need more for the match up (either defense or offense) switch them out accordingly. Same concept with Dalton and Reddish minutes. Same with Wood and Hayes.
I’m down with this lineup, though I’d consider shopping Rui (with other players/picks) for an upgrade elsewhere. He’s too redundant with LeBron on the team. Wood can take his minutes.
Brilliant. Changed my mind. Especially bc I can see Reddick selling Rui 6MoY, by rinse and repeat Brons activity in the 2nd unit. Need Vando to take that step tho
Rui feels too good of a player to be coming off the bench. Having both ad and vando who are non shooters would only clog up the offense even if it makes defense batter.
For me, I would like to start vando rather than rui, cause vando can help the starting line up on defense even he not scoring and I will put rui off the bench so he can give more firepower in the bench with austine reaves that's what was missing last season
Vando needs the start and Max. Reeves off the bench. Also they need to consider playing AD next to Hayes maybe even start for Hayes and let AD finish at the 5 to conserve AD
if lakers can somehow land herb jones the ideal two way and 3 and D player for the lakers. herb jones and vando guarding best player opposing team will be sick. thats how celtics win a title jrue and white all defensive player last season.
What you don't get is both should start... Vando is the point of attack defender and Rui is shooter slasher on offense.Your Reavitis disease got you thinking JJ won't see through Lakers front office politics...JJ is a hot head won't stand by and watch teams target Reaves
Replace Vando back into the starting 5. Trade Rui when a tempting prospect becomes available. Rui is too rigged in movement and doubles up on the default defensive assignment LBJ gets.
If rui going to start he better start grabbing some f*****g rebounds man 6’8 and is a terrible rebounder if lebron at 39 can grab 7-8 rebounds rui should be in that range as well no reason AR15 is a better rebounder than rui
Wait the year Bron won with the Lakers I think he was playing point. Bron,Max,Vando,AD,Woods make AD start shooting more even though I loved him putting pressure on the rim. We’ll need him making jumpers again like how he did in the bubble. I need to see them do it KOBE Lakers again Mamba jerseys need a return to
Vanderbilt is a liability to the offense especially with Anthony Davis catching the 1st pass outside the 3-point line as the “Hub of the Offense.” Austin Reaves doesn’t like the role of frequent corner shooter to hide Vanderbilt’s weakness.
In general I think it will depend on the opposing teams lineup but if I had to choose one or the other Vando would get the starting nod. Depending on the score, if it's close then Rui gets the closing nod.
Christian wood can stretch the floor. We can run our offense thru AD and let him dominate every 4 in the league. Move LBJ back to SF and let him control the offense. Austin Reaves has great chemistry with LBJ and AD and can do a little bit of everything at the two Guard. Gabe Vincent can be a point of attack defender as well as a three and D guard.
Vanderbilt is overrated by his fanboys...he's a dead hole on offense and an inconsistent defender. Lakers cannot afford to risk playing 4 on 5 on offense....or whatever the math works out to on defense. I say give his minutes to other players that step up their games, offensively and defensively.....
They the 14th best offense WITHOUT LEBRON JAMES with LeBron they had a higher offensive rating the the pacers did (they had one of the highest offensive rating in history) after all star break with vando starting and it had the best defense rating and best net rating it was the best 5 man lineup in the nba you typed type a bunch of nothing
Always big Lakers trade but none are not yet confirm and official...just rumors and if not... FLOP😂😂😂 Honestly, its Lakers Management, too SLOW to move. If that so, Lakers will never be a contender anymore😆😆😆

Personally want Vando to start. He does so much on defense and rebounding. But definitely would want Rui to end games with them.
I would input Vando to play the 4 to help switch, rebound, block shots & help weak side when AD is isn’t near the rim. Also guard the best opposing player.
When he was starting and playing at the 4 lakers had the best record since all star break 2022-23 season also they had the best defense rating
@@Sportsfan-cm5upbut didn’t work against Denver. Which is why ad needs to play 4 and someone else play the 5
Me personally I would like the starting lineup to be dlo vando rui bron and ad that’s a perfect lineup move reeves to the bench
No Let Vando Stay At The 3 I do not want Bron being my starting SF in 2024 and AD just needs a big body backup center key word “backup center” not a starting one.
I agree but you got too many people that play the same role on the court at the same time which takes away from everyone's game @@austinroy9499
Their playing time should be based on matchup/performance up that point
2 vids in one day ? u goin crazy
Not going to happen often with how long it takes to edit my videos and make my graphics, but hopefully you guys enjoy them! 👍
You should try 3 videos. Jk.
Best Starting Lineup is Dlo,Max,Rui,Bron,AD. Reaves come off the bench and goes for 6 man of the year. Average 13-20ppg. Or Reaves,Max,Vando,Bron,Ad
What of Max Christie have you seen that makes you believe he is ready to start and be a key contributor?
Because he’s already a 3 and D player his only knock against him is that he is young. Given minutes I think he’ll overall help our team defense
Defense 1st Mentality head coaches would make sure 6’8 defensive specialist Jarred Vanderbilt on the 1st Unit because there is a below-average 1-on-1 defender at BOTH GUARD SPOTS. J.J.

Allows Austin and Dlo more time ball handling which gives them the ability to do what they do best. Gabe isn’t the best at playmaking and with Austin it would take some of that pressure off his hands. Starting lineup
Dlo
Max
Vando
LBJ
AD
2nd unit
Gabe
Austin
Dalton/Reddish
Rui
Hayes
Have Wood get minutes with AD and LBJ considering how well he played next to them before injury.
Still have Austin have the lion share of minutes over Max. Make sure Rui and Vando share enough minutes and depending on what you need more for the match up (either defense or offense) switch them out accordingly. Same concept with Dalton and Reddish minutes. Same with Wood and Hayes.
Exactly ❗️
I’m down with this lineup, though I’d consider shopping Rui (with other players/picks) for an upgrade elsewhere. He’s too redundant with LeBron on the team. Wood can take his minutes.
JJ gonna start Rui, he's a shooter... this should be LeObvious. 💯💯💯
I’d say Give em similar minutes and whoever works that night should plays the most
Brilliant. Changed my mind.
Especially bc I can see Reddick selling Rui 6MoY, by rinse and repeat Brons activity in the 2nd unit.
Need Vando to take that step tho
Rui feels too good of a player to be coming off the bench.
Having both ad and vando who are non shooters would only clog up the offense even if it makes defense batter.
Vando needs a consistent shot tho
For me, I would like to start vando rather than rui, cause vando can help the starting line up on defense even he not scoring and I will put rui off the bench so he can give more firepower in the bench with austine reaves that's what was missing last season
We seem like a great team when Vando is starting
I really want my Lakers to when a championship with this Group.
I'd start Vando he plays well next to AD he helps AD on defense and rebounding plus he's switchable 1 threw 5
Vando needs the start and Max. Reeves off the bench. Also they need to consider playing AD next to Hayes maybe even start for Hayes and let AD finish at the 5 to conserve AD
Vando on the 1st five, let Rui come of the bench for Lebron so the offense is sustained.
It has to be vando bc that’s the only way we compete defensively at a high level
if lakers can somehow land herb jones the ideal two way and 3 and D player for the lakers. herb jones and vando guarding best player opposing team will be sick. thats how celtics win a title jrue and white all defensive player last season.
Is he for sale
What you don't get is both should start... Vando is the point of attack defender and Rui is shooter slasher on offense.Your Reavitis disease got you thinking JJ won't see through Lakers front office politics...JJ is a hot head won't stand by and watch teams target Reaves

May the most durable player win!!!
If we can just start the season with every one healthy that will make them the most dangerous.
Wait the year Bron won with the Lakers I think he was playing point. Bron,Max,Vando,AD,Woods make AD start shooting more even though I loved him putting pressure on the rim. We’ll need him making jumpers again like how he did in the bubble. I need to see them do it KOBE Lakers again Mamba jerseys need a return to
They both need to be healthy first.
This is the most solid 5 for Lakers : Davis at 5, Vando at 4, Rui at 3, Bron at 2, and DLo as pg. Let Reeves come off the bench
This is it
Vando is by far the best on ball defender. There is no way they don't start him.
Is vando and Vincent healthy?
The answer to your Vando question is answered by watching the video lol
Training camp has started?
Dlo/AR
Vando
Rui
Bron
AD.
Offense and defense.
Lakers win.
Should lakers sign nassir little?
Defense wins championships. GOATBILT belongs in the starting lineup. LAKERS 2025 MNBA CHAMPIONS 🏆 !!
Vanderbilt is a liability to the offense especially with Anthony Davis catching the 1st pass outside the 3-point line as the “Hub of the Offense.” Austin Reaves doesn’t like the role of frequent corner shooter to hide Vanderbilt’s weakness.
In general I think it will depend on the opposing teams lineup but if I had to choose one or the other Vando would get the starting nod.
Depending on the score, if it's close then Rui gets the closing nod.
Vando will wash Rui in any camp battle
No solution at all
We still not winin’ the chip this year 😒
Trade rui for beef stew
Thompson Anthony Taylor Cynthia Thomas Michelle
Start vando
Hard to care when like 60% of these guys will prob be gone by the deadline.
We need to start CWoods at the 5 and move AD to the 4. bring dlo off the bench and start Gabe Vincent at the one.
Hell no. Wtf
You just saying 💩
Christian wood can stretch the floor. We can run our offense thru AD and let him dominate every 4 in the league. Move LBJ back to SF and let him control the offense. Austin Reaves has great chemistry with LBJ and AD and can do a little bit of everything at the two Guard. Gabe Vincent can be a point of attack defender as well as a three and D guard.
So you guys telling me this Roster don’t look trash??😂
Vanderbilt is overrated by his fanboys...he's a dead hole on offense and an inconsistent defender. Lakers cannot afford to risk playing 4 on 5 on offense....or whatever the math works out to on defense. I say give his minutes to other players that step up their games, offensively and defensively.....
You dont know basketball
They the 14th best offense WITHOUT LEBRON JAMES with LeBron they had a higher offensive rating the the pacers did (they had one of the highest offensive rating in history) after all star break with vando starting and it had the best defense rating and best net rating it was the best 5 man lineup in the nba you typed type a bunch of nothing
