DFS will eventually start however, JJ couldn’t just take Rui’s Spot, He has to let DFS take it. And, Rui is a Natural PF so, I think He will be more consistent as a Bac(k)up PF off the Bench for LBJ.
i honestly was so impressed with how much and how fast he was moving, he almost moved too much which was prob cuz of the nerves but it really shows that this guy will be one of our most active and atheltic players on the court. a nightmare on defense and on offense he just has to knock down his open 3s, i dont know how many games inclduing the last night game i have watched where players like christie,dlo,gabe, reddish miss the most open shots of their lives and its frustrating to watch.
@@socalgolf9978vando got better at shooting on offense so he wasn’t useless. DFS can score but this was his first game as a laker so I do not know what you expected. But neither is useless on offense you fool.
JJ Kept taking him and Shake out right when they were making an impact. Shake actually hit a few 3s and DFS caused some defensive movements and they were taken out as soon as we caught up. What was Reddick thinking??
@@TheOlympiaWalkingShow I'm not saying keep them in the whole game, but don't screw up the momentum either. DFS's defense was contagious and was a defensive spark plug. Shake was making shots and he subbed them out when the Lakers are actually getting the lead wasn't smart IMO. Don't go away from what was working is all I'm saying.
@ If JJ didnt want to lose the locker room, he has to do what has been working in the last 4-5 games rather than what is now working in the last 36 minutes of a game
@@TheOlympiaWalkingShow above all as a player, the main goal is a win. I don't think any competent coach of any sport should be concerned if the guy at the end of the bench is upset about playing time if it leads to a win. The multiple rotations caused the momentum to fall from the group that actually brought about a comeback and started a small lead. Moreover, IMO I would've kept them in just to see how they operate in game and build organic court chemistry. Practice play is different from in game.
@@seanjones8737 I'm not saying the DFS should play all 48 minutes, but it is clear that he was making a huge impact on the defensive end. He needs to start and close games, because Rui doesn't have the physical tools to guard...anyone for that matter. DFS was a a huge defensive spark plug. You can see that whenever they came into the game, they immediately went on a run. I trust JJ to make that change, because it is the smart move.
DFS should start, Rui is inconsistent. Trade Rui + Vando for Grant C - AD F - Grant F - DFS F - Bron G - AR Bench: Max, Knecht, Gabe, Milton, Hayes, Koloko
DFS is a Good Fit for US - Can literally Guard 1-5 (Of Course, would struggle with the Big Body 5’s), Is a Tough Hussle Player that will not let His Teammates get Punked/Bullied and when He starts Hitting His 3’s will be a Problem on Offense!!! DFS will eventually start @ SF however, JJ has to let Him take that spot from Rui whom is a Natural PF and Will do better off the Bench for LBJ. Players lose Respect for Coaches & The System when They start giving Starting Spots Away instead of letting Players Earn those Spots.
@@SleepyVanDangle - Ha! Ha! Crazy Take!!! Where did You play College/Pro Ball!?!?! And, He Played Good Defense - He guarded everyone from Miitchell & Garland to Mobley. On Offense, He missed some Shots but, moved well and made some Good Passes. And, He did this without knowing The Plays on Offense or Defense. Have You seen a College/Pro Playbook before?
Nah, not enough quickness in that backcourt, Reaves, Christie or Cam, DFS, Bron and AD is the best and most versatile lineup, you have 3 great 3 and D players who can guard 1-4, 2 great playmaker and scorer, and 1 elite rim protector and scorer .. Then you have Gabe, Knecht or Milton, Vando/Rui, Rui/Vando/Wood and Hayes/Koloko/Wood off the bench … The only thing we lack right now is a thick back up Center like Kessler or Valanciunas who can bang with Joker, Embiid ect and a quick guard who can beat his defender off the dribble and put pressure at the rim like Sexton or Poole, and we still have the asset to make a move like that
Finny shot will come around if JJ trust him with a steady 30 minutes a game.Rui disappears defensively against elite teams ..and I'm tired of guessing if Rui will show up offensively
this is a bandaid trade move until vando comes back, that is to get the lakers in the top 6 seeds of the western conference. They are no longer competing for a championship at this point, with these kind of moves.
@@zkupnext_9294 They even made moves to become even better. They got rid of Giddey to get All-Defensive team player Alex Caruso. Their defensive rating went from 111.0 last season to a league best 102.9.
As a 40 year PLUS REAL Lakers fan. I hate this trade. They should have moved lbj 1 & 2 & AD. Instead of trying to milk their last years, build around Austin, Dalton, & Dlo. Dlo & AR play together was tight. But whatever. This NBA sucks.
As part of a larger multi-team trade ... Lakers in: LaVine, Jevon Carter, Gary Payton II, Keshad Johnson, and Pelle Larsson. Lakers out: Hachimura, Vanderbilt, Gabe Vincent, Max Christie, Hood-Schifino, Jaxon Hayes, Christian Wood, Shake Milton, and Reddish. Lakers sign: Biyombo, Dwight Howard, Cedi Osman, and Troy Brown Jr. PG - Carter - Payton - James SG - LaVine - Reaves - Larsson C --- Davis - Biyombo - Howard PF - James - Osman - Johnson SF - Smith - Knecht - Brown Jr.
Shake Milton cannot be included in a trade involving other players until February 27, which is way past the trade deadline. Also, Reaves is clearly the Lakers' starting point guard from now on.
Offensively he wasn’t that great. REALLY? He had 2 points. 😂😂😂 And what steal did he get? He finished with ZERO steals and ZERO blocks. 😂😂😂 You guys are delusional. He’s was USELESS in this game. 💯 SMH
Lol defense is more than just steals.. when you guard a top offensive talent they usually pass the ball off so it doesn’t show up on the stat sheet but he stops easy buckets from happening

His 1st was very impactful against the best team in the league right now. A couple of practices lets GO LAKERS

I think JJ had a difficult job , both testing out his new player’s strengths and weaknesses while trying to not to upset the locker room’s chemistry.
The vando type players are hard to find this was good good defense tho
That steal at 1:01 was clearly AD poking it away but still, great hustle by DFJ getting back into the play.
right lol
im not even mad at this loss. its gonna be a long season and JJ might wanna consider starting DFS
him and vando finna go crazy when healthy
great breakdown man!
DFS should start, Rui is inconsistent.
Trade Rui + Vando for Grant
C - AD
F - Grant
F - DFS
F - Bron
G - AR
Bench: Max, Knecht, Gabe, Milton, Hayes, Koloko
I would prefer the Lakers get a starting center from a Rui trade.
Very good video. Definitely a great trade
That was AD’s steal.😒

@@gregpollard7158 DFS is a glorified bench player at best
@@gregpollard7158 if he scores another 2 points next game in 20 minutes playtime im going to strangle jj reddick
In what felt like a night where the lakers shot 0.0007% from three, atleast it wasn't a complete blowout
So many times the Lakers was 1 possession away from taking the lead but the Cavs are just too good and the Lakers lack bigs to match Allen and Mobley.
Yep, the Lakers aren't that far off being a top team in the West. Add a competent big and they could make the conference finals.
Against the best team in the league !
He don’t make his teammates better. He just trades them 😆
This is good content love the break down 👏
Lets go....
He proved it wasn't D-Lo's fault.
we played cavs, btw you can cheer on Nets since dlo no longer a laker.
@@angelzenny9740 thanks Bronny.
@@itk.r8rsn8k15 not bronny, im actually 38 yo
Seeing a potential eventual lineup of Max, Reddish, Vando, DFS and AD defensively would be IN.SANE.
Honestly Austin been playing better on Defense and I think cam needs to lose minutes if he isn’t gonna hit any shots
They would still need a point guard in the lineup.
😂😂😂
And they’d score not enough points
Starting lineup from hell
That lineup is garbage lol
Reddish shouldn’t play when Vando is back. Put Reaves in for them
Bruh Lakers need that Defense being a menace
We needed him ngl and we was supposed to win that game but that’s was a good pickup Russell would never
Nice break down I believe he can be a starter but he has to knockdown that 3 consistent
I want to see Reeves, finney smith, hachimura, lebron and ad in the starting 5

Where is vanderbilt? If dude is gonna only attempt 4 shots a game we didn’t need him. Dude is just a healthy Vanderbilt. We need a shooter.

When Vando gets back, with DFS,... that unit will be a problem to score on, with AR, and A D,
Ad looked like he got that steal bro. Not DFS
I judging him after 10 games for this lakers team.
He aint had his legs with all the traveling fixing his clothes etc etc next game watch out
If only vando was healthy..these two on defense would be tuff 🦾
We going to give him props! He tied his shoes was a person! D low scorer. SMH still need points
other lakers players should learn from about movement, not just standing many times
Dorian Finney smith is temu George niang on offense
He was reaching and teaching 😂😂
I already like him he tuff on defense 😂
he should start over rui
don't matter they lost
Dlo.
I don’t understand this video. The Lakers lost, again.
If the mavs couldn't get dfs back I'm glad the Lakers got him. Lakers are so trash even Finney can't save them.
How do u lock something down and u lose. Clutch lips
Is nothin man😂😂
The overrating of DFS' impact after losing a major offensive piece like Dlo is understandable.
Dude is trash and it was a bad trade! Mitchell, Mobley, and Garland all hooped
So now the Lakers are favorites to win the west.
I think it's up for grabs Nuggets and Timberwolves or not the dominant teams we thought of and I think no one team currently stands out.

talking about Dorian Finney smith but the lakers loss dont want to talk about that go cavs 😂
Looking like Cavs or Celtics in the finals and who knows who comes out of the west
Cavs are the best team in the league, and the Lakers went toe to toe with them. Watch the games before making drastic takes like that.
Ur celebrating a guys game who had 2 points?!
