GIVE A TEAM A RING N FEED EM 4 A YEAR, GIVE EM A DYNASTY N FEED EM 4 A LIFETIME: 2021 LAKERS THREAD

[HoldThisL]

I still believe in Dennis, but Im perplexed at what was going through his mind yesterday. Like the space jam monsters came and removed his ability to shoot and first step .

Next game is his last game to prove himself or to the bushes he go

AD scored the most total points in the entire 2020 playoffs . On a team with Lebron James. Has Lebron EVER played on a team where a teammate eclipses him with total points? Load management. Put duke on that Kawhi schedule. Im not ready to give up on that level of talent

Lakers in 7

We need to start Caruso in Game 6 and have Dennis come off the bench

Dennis should've never been given the starting position.

I think a little of everything can be true. There were some roster moves that could’ve been done differently but at the same time we didn’t have the luck with injuries that we did last season. It is what it is. If you want championships then you gotta be willing to accept the bad shyt.

Not re-signing Dwight was the biggest mistake and lead directly to Drummond. He's an oaf on offense and can't protect the rim. Dennis for Danny Green was worth the risk, just should've kept him on the 2nd unit. Wes was a good idea that didn't work out. Trez is a regular season guy. All in all the team still looked great when LeBron and AD were healthy, but the offense is downright inept with them not at a 100% and Vogel's offensive schemes don't help.

I think the biggest key is Bron was only 2 points shy of AD, on top of the assists/rebounds. AD with the win/shares.

Bron/AD were the two best players in the playoffs last year. Maybe its the injuries, maybe its the short turn around. However, they havent played to that level.

Lowkey starting Dennis takes away Bron's playmaking (Dennis also has a slow release so he's not shooting those 3's like he need)

AD didnt get those easy buckets from Bron and Rondo. Rondo kept Bron fresh and helped keep him engaged off the ball.

Dwight was the perfect big man next to AD on defense and that led to fast breaks the other way.

After just winning the championship you give Dennis the starting job in a contract year

Lets say we lose Thursday, how can we improve the team going forward. We need shooters but they don’t grow on trees or are cheap. What are our assets? THT? Is basically our only asset and that’s even if you can call him an asset also we have to pay him. We are tapped out like for real. We won’t have a forward/center rotation next year at all. Trez walking 100%. Gasol retire or gone. Drummond? He’d want more money and even if doesn’t, do we even want him with what we’ve seen of him? Morris will want more money and he’s only the one we can actually keep since we’d have his early bird rights but he has stunk. Where can we find some white boy shooters that other teams seem to find.

We’ll be a middle of the pack team until lebron retires and AD signs elsewhere and then we can restart over. We dnt really have a future tbh

problem with AD ain't talent. it's health.

 

[Joe Sixpack]

What can they really do about Dennis tho. Forget this performance he just doesn’t fit well with Bron and AD....but if he walks the Lakers have no way to replace him. Shoulda valued Rondo more..

Sign and trade. Throw Kuzma in there too

 

[MenacingMonk]

[Docs shouldn’t even clear AD. fukk taking chances and focus on next season.
