Buha, change nothing. You are an established Bball journalist with amazing delivery and great analysis. You paid your dues and now we all listen to you along with Lakers Film room, Hoops tonight and Lakers Nation. Keep it going
Jovan You dont have to apologize to us man. ♥️ your son is lucky to have his dad in his life. Mine got lost on the way to buy milk not sure if he ever found the store 😢😅
Hey Jovan, I initially didn't like the intro but it grew on me and I dig hearing it. I think I stuck through it just because I know the quality of your content so maybe people that don't might not, but it ultimately did win me over. I say keep it
I can just imagine how good JJ must had felt to get the win against Doc rivers! I know this really bothered Doc and Ham I seen them laughing earlier when they had a double digit lead. I like Quincy, I like the energy he brings, can't wait to see him tuesday
Keep going JB, family first always! That's what keeps us grounded and motivated. Random question, did we stumble into a youth movement on our team? I think k4 is going to be real, max can be good, jhs if he pans out, and koloko if he gets cleared. I'm not even mentioning AR or Vando, but I feel like we have some sneaky pieces that can put us in a decent spot.
A good dad deserves a thumb up for sure.. p.s. 1) ready to bet One of my hand but could be any body part: Olivari wont be a Nba player, whilst JHS will.. 2) the Lakers wont trade Dlo.. forget that unless they find somebody Who is able to play at his standard at pg(inside or outside the team)..
if you havent watched Poeltl, i would consider him as hes in his prime, on a great contract. 7'1" with great passing ability and good defence, raptors rebuilding, just no 3 point ability and not a lengthy vertical, but still a great fit with AD.
@@jovanbuha I feel like that is a reasonable contract? Cap going up, I feel like a good gm could get this done without including dlo or rui as well. The raptors don’t want those guys anyway but I feel like his contract is definitely great if you actually watch raptors games. Impacts games greatly. Yes I understand maybe if his contract was like 15 million would be better but cap is going up
my take: the first few times i caught your show the intro was actually super annoying admittedly, but i think because your show is really good there is a Pavlovian effect because now i really like it and don't want you to change it
Manu is not comparison for Austin. Manu was more atheltic...much quicker and could finish at the rim without the stop pump fake and hope to draw a foul tactics.
I think probably 60% of fans understand the game better than I do But even I have been screaming for a true big (emphasis on rebounding) for over 2 years now The fact that so many more knowledgeable than myself are just catching on is infuriating
@@raymondtuckerjr1886 Height doesn't guarantee that you will be a good rebounder, and like you said, positioning, effort, and even the ability to predict bounce trajectory, are all more important that height when it comes to rebounding. BUT GUESS WHAT??? If you have two guys who have all of these attributes, but one is taller, more athletic, and/or heavier, he will get rebounds over the other at will, if we looking at it in a vacuum. It also happens that most big players have been required to know how to rebound, due to the basic job description of their position. Most guards coming into the league don't have rebounding skills, because guards are usually not tasked with rebounding. They normally are either getting back in transition on defense, or leaking outs in transition offense. There are very few guards that are good rebounders. The same applies to wings, but less so. So I'm not sure what the point of your comment is, but having a 'true big' implies a good rebounder with inherent advantages towards rebounding, so if he mentioned a big like Myles Turner, who is 7 foot, but is a below average rebounder, then your comment would actually have a purpose.
Austin is not a pg. He will get destroyed in the West on ball in any capacity, not to mention defending 1's. He would be the least atheltic pg in the west.
QO and Castleton should be given minutes over Reddish, JHS, Bronny, Lewis - none of these guys have performed as well as QO and Castlton, so it wouldn't be a risk. Is there any way to dump Reddish to open up a spot?
Everyone talking about Bronny him as a potential Pat Bev type. My one thing about Bronny is that he's too "cool" out there. If we can't sign Olivari it's a Laker guarantee that he comes back to bust our asses... Rooting for Bronny but he better take notes.
Ive wanted the Lakers to trade for Nick Richards for over a year. I wanted WCJr. But I dont think thats happening now. D. Sharpe is also a decent backup5. Koloko would be nice to have. Not a good sign he hasnt been cleared yet🤷🏾♂️
What make you think they HAVE to? Are you a sponsor...btw, buying a jersey doesn't make you a sponsor. Sorry, only the big money crowd are sponsors. Not man-cave dwellers.
DLo is the best 3pt shooter on the team he needs to be on the floor at all times especially the starting unit, I love Max defensively but DLo’s shooting and playmaking is miles above Max so he shouldn’t replace DLo
Now that you've explained that Boha crap is Petros fault, I get it, not your fault, so I apologize. Regarding the west. DO NOT sleep on the Spurs. You've been warned. They have the ULTIMATE maestro and THE most skilled big in the game. Period.
@@raymondtuckerjr1886 Well, if CP3 was durable, I'd agree with you, but we know he isn't. Regardless, he will probably make the Spurs a playoff/play-in team simply because of his leadership, teaching them how to play, but unless he's healthy when it matters, it wont matter. The Suns really needed CP3, but they couldn't justify paying him what they did, but sadly there isn't anyone they could have gotten that does the same thing as CP3, but is healthy. I do not think any of the guards the Spurs have can be transformed into a CP3 2.0 simply by being under CP3's tutelage either. How do the Spurs replace all the amazing things that CP3 will do for them when he gets injured/retires, so that they can play the same way? I don't want them to have the same issue as the Suns, but CP3 is a tease. They have to draft a player like CP3, because no team is going to give up an elite playmaking guard with CP3's talent, unless they are stupid. Only problem is that the Spurs cannot justify tanking anymore.
@@raymondtuckerjr1886I think the Spurs will be solid if they can stay healthy they have a few injury prone guys over there before even counting CP3 but they’ll be a solid team definitely not a given W on the schedule no more
Not saying we would have gotten him but the entire time they were chasing Klay I was screaming they should have been going for Val For one tbing it was OBVIOUS Klay was not coming to LA but even more importantly Jonas Valančiūnas would have helped us much more anyway!
If Quincy continues to play well, I think they drop one of their two-way guys for him. Castleton is ok, but just doesn't have it to be an NBA center. With how Quincy played and the praise he got for JJ, I think JJ is going to want to prove a point and reward that type effort and complete buy-in. How can you let go of the guy that JJ says should be model for others?
I agree, and I think that at some point, we'll see some 3 guard line-ups...wait and see. Finally, to the turds. Including you, boha dude...stop fckng with Dlo....you won't get value and besides that, he's really good, and you're NOT.
All this Austin Reaves glazing for no reason. He needs to come off the bench, he is too slow to defend, cant shoot consistently, his handle is average. He need to come off the bench and Max needs to start. Perfect 3nD. Complements Lebron, Rui and Dlo very well.
Bronny James has never proven himself in these three preseason games at least for Quincy Olivare his proven himself even just with 9 minutes in the 4th quarter than Bronny who got more minutes but zero all stat sheet and 0/4, 0/5 from deep. This is just plain crazy. If you say that Quincy Olivare is raw how much more Bronny, he is more raw than Quincy. When it comes to defense, Quincy got a better upside than Bronny. I was looking some other two way contract guys that the lakers had and Bronny got guaranteed contract than all these two way contract guys. Bronny didn't deserve that guaranteed contract. Out of all their preseason games, Bronny was a liable than an asset. If without Bron, Bronny will never be drafted in the lakers.
LeBron wanted this for himself, sad for Bronny (nepotism), the rich get richer. Lakers are stuck with Bronny for 4 years, while better players are in the G-league.
Reaves is not better than Dlo and should not be a secondary ball handler at any point.Dlo is still the best shooter on this team and you'd be smart to stop with the Reaves glazing... he's not respected around the league like you seam to think
Bronny, JHS and Max Lewis do not have the mental game of Quincy, it can't be taught, none of them have performed at that level ever, Quincy is a basketball player he has the it factor you can see it, he passes the eye test. Bronny and JHS play slow and mentally they spend too much time thinking and it slow them down and the game passes them by. There are plenty of guys with JHS and Bronny physical ability who are not playing in the NBA. Tired of hearing all the excuses and being called a bronny hater. I love the Lakers and to see contracts given out to guys who will never make it. JHS and Bronny can spend the next four years going up and down in the G League and they will not have the "it factor" that Quincy Olivari has. It will be a shame to see him playing on another team.
@@LN-Lifer That guy is trolling or has a few screws loose. Theirs no way to tell if QO is going to be a legit player or not. Like you said he had a hot streak for one quarter. You have to see it consistently before you pass judgment. You can also see he has some weaknesses athletically. Dude almost tripped over his own feet several times over extending himself defensively. Theirs a reason he's undrafted.
This game showed me how important Austin Reaves is as a connector on this team.They gotta keep Max off the🏀on offense. he's a lot better as a catch& shoot guy or attacking closeout than he is on the🏀 in PNR. Rui,Gabe& Knecht looked good also. Hoping Vando & Wood get healthy cause Cams playing a little 2 much😂 💯 on the Cam& Jax lineups. I said the same thing In playback. That doesn't work.

Manu is not comparison for Austin. Manu was more atheltic...much quicker and could finish at the rim without the stop pump fake and hope to draw a foul tactics.

Ive been a HUGE proponent of the pairing of AR w Max, and DLo w Dalton.
Last year, it was not high possession, but the AR/Max pairing had some success. Lineup of
AR, Max, Rui, Vando, AD had +20.8 on 50 possesions
AR, Max, TP, Wood, AD had +43.3 on 30 possessions
AR, Max, TP, James, AD had +14.2 on 79 possessions
This sample size is even smaller, but adding a combo of AD/Hayes to AR/Max show promise
AR, Max, Wood, Hayes, AD had +77.8 on 9 possesions
AR, Max, TP, Hayes, AD had +16.7 on 6 possessions
AR, Max, Rui, Hayes, AD had +106.7 on 6 possessions
Overall these 4 together, with Reaves at PG were +68.7 on 21 possessions
Sure, tinyl sample. But that is on how little they were schemed together. The potential is there. I can see these 4 together with Knecht or even Olivari when then need some energetic punch on scoring, rebounds etc.
If Bron and AD are ever off the court/game at the same time, it would seem best to go with 2 bigs. Alone, Hayes, Wood or Koloko aren’t enough. Some pairing of Hayes Wood Koloko or Castleton should be out there.
