I think cook should start over rondo or Caruso.. and then use rondo more in the playoffs


Rando needs to retire.

GOT EM

Not huge on the Bradley signing.. he’s overrated defensively and his shot fell off big time over the years iirc

We don't need him to do anything but chase opposing PGs all game, maybe hit a open 3 when the opportunity presents itself.

Bron and AD will get you open shots on the first unit or Rondo and Cousins on the 2nd unit, he wont be running the show.


Realistically he will be giving our guards some rest and providing above average defense in that time

Bradley had been regressing since he joined Memphis in February this season. In 14 games for Memphis he scored 16 points per game, shot 46%, 38% from deep, 92% from ft and wasn't bad at all.
Maybe he just needed some change of scenery.


Now, we've got

Rondo
Green
Lebron
AD
McGee

as our probable starting lineup

Rondo shot 36% from deep so he can make it, but he's our weak link both on offense and on defense. I'd rather we didn't play him but he seems to be respected and liked.
Green shot 45% from deep last season, he's going to get a ton of nice looks and he's a great defender.
Lebron is Lebron. An entire summer of working out and resting, his first in a freaking DECADE will hopefully make him feel young again. As bad as he was defensively last year, he was himself on offense. His 3 ball % tanked abit late season. With AD AND McGee protecting the paint, he should be able to chill on D.
Davis can make the long ball, averages almost 3 per game at an okay 33 and 34% the past 2 seasons. He's in his prime, and we've all seen what he can do. Probably the best big in the game on both ends of the floor. (maybe Gobert > defensively and Jokic > playmaking ability)
McGee is efficient. In terms of PER he was 2nd best on Lakers last year by a big margin. He has stopped doing stupid shit and now just rebounds and plays hard. You'll rarely see him take a horrible shot. He'll wait until it's a dunk under the basket.

In terms of our 2nd unid
Cook/Caruso
Bradley
Dudley
Kuzma
Cousins

I mean Kuzma is special. He just needs to be more consistent with his shot, especially his long ball. Bradley as I mentioned hopefully returns to his former self. Dudley a great locker room guy. Cook has stupied Steph and Klay and hopefully learnt something. Caruso is a fan favorite. Cousins... if he can stay healthy and return to what he was, or even 80% of what he was, is arguably top 5 offensive big in the game.

And the best part is no stupid Magic Johnson making comments and taking attention.

and as I write this

Yahoo Sources: Los Angeles Lakers intend to move LeBron James to the starting point guard position.

So basically if that's true, we'll have

Lebron
Green
Kuzma
AD
McGee

I kinda like it more, it's way bigger and still has spacing because 4 out of 5 can shoot from everywhere.

That looks so much better with Rondo on the bench
