From an old Bron to a new Don, Luka Brasci calls the shots now: Your GOAT franchise Boss Angeles Lakers 2024-25 regular season Thread

[Voice of Reason]

The Lakers are going to be so good this season it's crazy


D'lo, Reaves, and Rui coming back plus solid players like Gabe Vincent and Prince.

Then Cam is a wild card and Max Christie looks like he's ready to be a rotation player.


It does make you question picking the rookie JHS who does not look ready at all.


Dude will not get any burn at all.

Long term fit probably. Hopefully he turns into a decent player. Lakers scouting department is good so they see something there.

If Ham can turn around and be better and do it like Pat Riley did
Oh I want this
Want that
I need that

I forgot that that 20-21 team started 7-0 on the road





Getting rid of KCP especially and Caruso to a less extent was a massive mistake.


That team would probably have won a title if it was not for injuries.

Bron and AD saw the offense drop off of a cliff when they both were injured and panicked and got Westbrook.

Do you all think this current team is better than that team?

No Bron decline impact wise is a lot to make up. Also as you mentioned the defense of KCP/Caruso along with their leadership

Idk how I feel about this. He at times provides empty stats. I can see him getting slandered heavy before All Star break

How much will he play along side AD?

I hope they didn't promise him a starting spot ala Drummond again. This been the most peaceful offseason in a long time.

 

[Voice of Reason]

I don't like the Woods signing at all.


I think this was going to be a massive leap year for Rui and I think Woods will take the ball out of his hands.


It's not enough touches to go around to be honest.


Plus someone is getting squeezed in the rotation.

 

[Voice of Reason]

The bright side is now the rotation gets easier.


You can play Vando next to Wood.


I still play Wood off of the bench and either play Rui or Vando in the starting lineup.

Yep, they better have not.


Rui or Vando needs to start.

I would say play it by match up but teams need consistency.

Las Vegas influence continues on the Lakers. Last year it was local kid Troy Brown, this year, UNLV legend Chris Wood
