    The problem was D'Lo. He did nothing better than Reaves except maybe get hot shooting the ball sometimes.

    Defense was atrocious, took the ball away from Reaves, and was unplayable in the playoffs.

    D'Lo might be a better individual player than DFS but DFS changed how this team played. Even before getting Luka, the Lakers were starting to play really well.

    I don't think Reaves and AD's game fit well together, either. Outside of being below the rim, AD wasn't a big offensive threat. Lobs, putbacks, and fouls but that's pretty much the bulk of his scoring. With Luka, everyone is getting wide open shots.
