Yeah...if no Boogie...i would go with Lopez. It you’re not including McGee in the rotation. Believe he he’s going to get some run


And u forgot Stephenson. He’s getting some run too

The thing is I doubt that those are the lineups Luke goes with (we all know how he handled our lineups at times last year).

Unfortunately (IMO) I think that he will start Zo and bring Rondo off the bench. But I really like the idea of Zo running the bench; I think that the bench unit I posted above could run-and-gun really well. I also like the idea of Rondo playing with LBJ.

Yep McGee will definitely be there... and we haven't put Svi in either.

Why is anyone complaining?...lol

honestly I don't really want to give McGee any minutes unless someone gets hurt/in foul trouble and same with Stephenson

maybe for certain matchups too

Will the Lakers be the worst rebounding team in the NBA?


I guess you haven’t looked at the rebounding stats by LeBron/Rondo/ and Ball and even some of our wing players.

Well what matters is what Bron wants. McGee is a high energy guy, that blocks shots, and u can throw lobs to from Zo, Bron and Rondo. He’s going to play...get used to it.

After paul George chickened out, we are going after players that have the nasty in them.

Yeah, as a whole this team could actually come together and really bother some of the better teams. Guarantee nobody in the NBA will look forward to playing us that is for sure..

Worst case scenario, we let all the 1 year guys go and go after another max to replace them with or whatever else is available next off season. At the end of the day we had zero chance of matching the Warriors offensively this season so I do not mind this approach the more I think about it. Not to mention all the intangibles like as much as I dislike Rondo from the Celtic days he will be a fantastic mentor for Lonzo along with Lance going at Brandon all season in practice.


Agreed. Interesting approach. Conventional thinking is that you need to have a lot of shooters like what Houston did to beat the Warriors. Whatever what people underappreciated about Houston is they had good defenders like Ariza, Tucker, Capela. Remember many of their playoff games were lower scoring affairs And Golden State had bad fourth-quarter offensively in the games they lost.

Everone added after getting LeBron is the same mold defense minded and tough. Stevenson and Rondo are nasty mean take no prisoners kinds of guys. KCP is a great defender. They are going to get after people 94 feet defensively. This was done with the Warriors in mine. Picture rondo picking up curry 94 feet and being in his grill every step he takes. When he goes to the bench then Stevenson is in there bothering him. LeBron guards Durrant in crunch time. KCP is going to be chasing Klay all over the court. You’re never going to have the same amount of shooting as Golden State so you take it away from finesse game and you make it grind it out scratch and claw half-court game and you’ve got the best player in the world on your team.

Top of it these are all one year deals so you still have Space to bring a superstar in next summer. Magic knows what he’s doing. These are not random signings and you know the king signing off on all of those as well.

If we get Boogie... and then Kawhi next year... I don't think we could have asked for much more from the front office. I'll still be happy if it's Brook.
