The average age dropped by 7 years, and the Lakers are significantly more athletic.
@_d1lebronglazer @TheHoopCentral Youth & Athleticism > Lakers currently have plenty of shooting. People seem to forget the issues the past few years. I’d rather have more versatile players than players that are really good at one thing. Rui is a cone. Kennard athletically struggles and is not a willing shooter.
@aprater3223@KalshiHoops I don’t know why everyone is so down on their defense. Grimes, Mamu, and Sexton are not the best POA defenders but they are more athletic than guys last year and smarter. I think a switchy team defensive system with Kessler as the anchor will be pretty good. Will miss Marcus tho
@Joseydyp@LakersNation Love the Kessler add. I see grimes and mamu more as really good bench players so I’d agree on a better 3 & 4. Next move is a solid wing guy.
@Joseydyp@LakersNation No he wasn’t. Lakers made it clear that their plan was to move forward with Luka as the foundation and if they could retain LeBron with whats left then they would.
