  2. Got rid of A.D brong in DeAndre ayton to replace Anthony Davis at center I have to see the progress to believe it because I just don't believe that he can be better than Anthony Davis but if the Lakers start out well early in the season I could do nothing but salute the decisions that the organization has made over the summer but I just have to see it with my own eyes first 🤔💡😳💯👍

  3. Woooooooooooow.

    It sounds like the Lakers are really great this year.

    I’m **SURE** we won’t have another washout season with a tsunami of excuses, promises, and spin like the last five seasons. 👍

  4. He was very effective playing the P n R with CP3, imagine what he can do with Luka. And just his presence in the paint is all we will need, take up that space and move those feet. Don’t expect him to become this ELITE defender over night, but just ask him to have good mobility and make his presence known

  6. Dude has no INTERNAL motor. His drive comes from outside motivation from teammates (CP3 w/Suns), and that never lasts long. He does not handle expectations well at all either. Get used to being disappointed by that guy.

  8. im a celtics fan but any team with Luca I want to win it all ! If the lakers keep playing and treating austin reeves like a star they are done he literally stinks

  13. He was 14/9 on Portland while being completely disengaged and disinterested. 20/12 from him is not a giant leap. If he averages that or hovers around it, it's a MASSIVE improvement over last season.

    He's covertly a huge signing this off-season. Stoked to watch him redeem himself. Would love to see his defense shore up and improve on patrolling the paint.

  17. People forget that Lakers finished as a third seed. They had one of the best records to finish the season. And all that was without a center, without defense and everyone still recovering from the massive trade + Luka getting the rust off from having his first major injury abscence.

    They upgraded this roster. Hopefully Ayton understands his role

  23. Aytons success doesn’t really rely on his ability to play well because he’s a great player regardless , I think it really relies on his ability to stay healthy which he can only control so far. I hope he can avoid any injuries

  24. Why are people acting like DA is not a great acquisition for the Lakers all of these analytics are for nerds the eye test says DA at the 5 gets this team what they need its that simple

  27. What I expect is for him to be good overall but not always great. I only expect great moments and great games to happen sometimes. I think he is really a high quality back up big but not the main big on a championship roster. If we can just get a good year out of him, that will be a plus, but I don't think that we should stop looking for that starting star-caliber big to add to the roster.
