[reconic supreme]

athletic def. trolling us lmao

 

[CP1708]

They did alright with Monk and Schroeder, hope it continues with Wood.

 

[MVP]

Yea I don't think Wood starts he's basically an upgraded version of TB to back up AD.

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Hayes-AD-Bron
Wood-AD-Bron
Wood-Rui-Prince
Hayes-Rui-Prince

And yes, we can go AD-Bron-Vando and look big against the Smurfs.

Options.

Big ones.

Lol .

All Lakers need to do is start a 2-Big frontcourt for a minimum 10 games.

Bets are still open. Season ain't started yet.

Here's the T&C's from my bet with BIG LEEMELONE

Bet. To be paid after the conclusion of the 2023-24 playoffs.

I say: Everyone healthy, Lakers going to go 2-Big starting lineup for at least 10 games or more (reg season and playoffs), whether its AD-Hayes or AD-Javale. That's the bet if they sign Javale or any other big for that matter.

You say: Everyone healthy, Lakers do NOT go 2-Big starting lineup for at least 10 games or more during the 2023-24 regular season and playoffs, whether its AD-Hayes, AD-Javale, or AD-any other Big man.

10 games is extremely low to be wearing a jaxson hayes jersey with your nipples hanging out

Nice one BIG dog

2-BIGS - Hayes/AD or Wood/AD

Any combo with any of the above in the starting 5 for 10 games.

Bet $5?

 

[Lizakers]

Maybe he can make some threes too, like he did against us last season

 

[Korofi]

We still need Hassan or Dwight

 

[had pants]

 

[grittyman]

For the pro start Wood crowd, are you telling us you want to see Bron as your primary wing stopper? Cause yeah that’s not ideal…

 

[pmatic]

Good gamble, just hope he isn't a knucklehead.

 

[MIKE LOWERY]

Vando or Rui are gone by the deadline. My money is on Rui.






Hayes joining the 30-30-30 club this season.

You got AD starting at the 4

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

Don't even try to make up some bs buddy and pretend you don't know how to read.

The bet was Lakers going to go 2-Big, whether it's AD-Hayes, AD-Javale, AD-Wood, or AD-any other Big

If AD-Hayes starts, it's obvious AD would be playing C on offense and PF on defense, whether or not they list Hayes as the starting C or PF. Point is, going 2-Big allows AD to play more PF on the defensive end.

Now that Lakers got both Hayes and Wood, you better start saving ya money, cause any combo of AD-Wood or AD-Hayes is going to start 10 games minimum with everyone healthy - meaning AD, Bron, Rui, Vando, Hayes, Wood - all these guys healthy and Lakers going to start a 2-Big lineup.

And now you tryna back track LOL

Plain English big dog. Read carefully

That's not the point I'm making.

The point is Lakers going to go 2-Bigs for at least 10 games or more (reg season and playoffs), whether its AD-Hayes or AD-Javale. That's the bet if they sign Javale or any other big for that matter.

$3K

Not with everyone healthy.

Christian wood signing= Montrezl Harrell signing.


Carry on

 

[Brosizzlew30.23]

For the pro start Wood crowd, are you telling us you want to see Bron as your primary wing stopper? Cause yeah that’s not ideal…

Bron can EASILY play SF.

You must've missed the playoff series against the Golden State Smurfs and the Memphis Smurfs (without Adams and Clarke) when Bron the natural SF was guarding Andrew Wiggins and Dillon Brooks with no issues whatsoever. And don't we recall the Lakers won both of those series? Lol

What isn't ideal is AD banging with the Jokic's, Embiid's, Adams's, Nurkic's, Poeltl's, and Valanciunas's of the world cause we all know AD is nothing but a small forward in a power forward's body who plays center.

 

[grittyman]

Honestly this whole argument is more stale than 2 day old bread… I don’t care if AD starts at shooting guard as long as the Lakers are winning.

 

[trynafeelmink]

Vando or Rui are gone by the deadline. My money is on Rui.

Yea someone is definitely getting moved, Wood is already a headcase seemingly, so if they brought him in it's to get some playing time. Then you have Bron & AD eating up frontcourt minutes.

Then Rui (I think he's most likely to stay) Prince, Vando & Cam can play the 3.

No way any of these guys get enough minutes unless they have ZERO plans of playing Hayes.

First couple of months is gonna be to solidify roles, but 2 of these dudes are definitely getting shipped.

Lebron’s defense in the playoffs is like a night and day difference from the effort in which he defends in the regular season.

Nice try.

 

[essential1]

Ehh. I think Vando is the most likely. Rui is already locked up. At $4mil, Vando is great contract. Over $10mil. Not as much.

But you can go

Vando / Prince / Rui
Bron / Rui
AD / Wood

2 legit 25 point guys.
3 guys who can get you at least 10 on any night
And Vando

It's a long season and injuries always happen. Especially with AD and Bron.
