    Not a fan of him trying to compare himself to the Kobe/Gasoline connection, but it’s whatever

    He's got great instincts as an off the ball guy but it's tough to use the skills because every team he ends up on, he always ends up being the on ball guy as he's best passer on the team.

    It looks like the best pairings should AD/Harrell and then when AD is out Marc/Lebron. Vogel has his work cut out for him this year to see what he thinks will work in the post-season because he has a lot of toys to work with. Gasol with Lebron/Kuzma/Caruso/Schroeder would be a very tough lineup to guard as he should be able to get whatever he wants from the top of the key

    I kind of agree Pioneer10. It's going to be interesting to see what Vogel does with such a stacked lineup. Clearly, moving Schroder to the starting unit has impacted our rotations. When Schroder is in with Gasol and Lebron we have overloaded all of our best ball handlers into the starting unit.

    I think in the playoffs at least we will see more of what you are talking about with AD essentially at 5 with Harrell and then Marc coming off the bench. Marc with Kuzma and Lebron is a great pairing.

    Damn, I love this. Never in a million years would I have guessed the bottom one would be real if I hadn’t watched it develop.

    Sorry I screwed up the ideal lineup for Gasol would probably be Marc/Kuzma/Lebron/Caruso/KCP. That is 4 guys who are threat to shoot, cut, or make the extra pass. That would be fun to throw out there as you could get away with switching everything as well on defense outside of Gasol.

    I love it, too. Feels so good to have a Gasol back in the purple and gold.

    Would be weird to play against Sota ( Lakers win it without him too) and sit against the Blazers .

    The weight thing/getting in shape and the ankle worry me .

    Hopefully an injury isn't coming

    Those pass for a giveback to a cut towards the rim are free 10 points every game for the Lakers. So simple and effective because Marc will find cutters. That should be easy points for guys like KCP, Kuz, and Caruso who are always looking for cuts.

    LeBron should sit - let's see how we do without him. Wouldn't mind if AD sat too...Let Kuz go wild

    Yeah but Portland has big guys in the middle to rotate, right? Bron can sit but we'll need AD I think. I also think we should be able to win most games with one or the other of them out which is pretty amazing. Well done Rob. He would have done better in that regard last year if not screwed over by Snake deliberately making us wait while I'm sure a lot of his targets for supporting players he wanted if Snake wasn't coming .... got snapped up. Still did well with plans B and C late in free agency and at the deadline. We won the damn title.

    It's a given we will lose some games just to conserve either one or both of them. Maybe we won't with Kuzma and Tucker Horton going bazingas.

    The L's just not by something ridiculous like 50 and over... :) Oopsies, too soon?

    Wasted a pretty good effort by Lebron when he should have had the night off. Disappointed in AD.
