Lakers at Washington Wizards Game Day 2025-01-30
Lakers Forum » Lakers Game Day
If AD gets over his pulled muscle on his stomach, the Lakers should be fine going against the Wizards, but if AD does not play and JJ plays Bronny it is a loss for sure. I just can not figure why the Lakers keep pushing Bronny into the NBA when he is not ready for the NBA. Let him spend some time in the G league and learn how to play. I keep reading articles on Lakers Daily published by Jesse Cinquini. It seems like some of these people keep pushing for the Lakers to play LeBron's kid even though LeBron's son has no business playing in the NBA just yet. Like Steven A Smith said on his show, that it is not the kids fault, but the fault of LeBron pushing him to play in NBA games. It is not right for Bronny, and it for sure is not right him taking the place of better players that could help the Laker team.

I Have read he is out for a week at the very least.
If AD is not going to play for a week, then I would say the Lakers do not have much of a chance winning against any NBA team. And if JJ thinks Bronny will be the savior, then Bronny will have more news on him as to how bad this kid really is, and that it is LeBron's idea on show casing him with NBA players.
If AD is not playing, then use Rui, Hayes, Kaloko and Trey Jemison taking turns on the five position. Give the other team a different look through out the game.
Also on the point guard position, Let Reaves take the lead, then bring off the bench Vincent. Do not use LeBron as a point forward, he turns the ball over too much. And if they need another point guard to replace Bronny, bring Quincy Olivari and let him play in an NBA game. He saved the Laker gave before when they gave the kid a chance to show his skills. He has been playing really good on every game in the G league.
I was impressed with how JJ gave all the tall players a chance to play. He gave the Wizards different looks in the center position. I also liked Milton the way he played. He almost scored as much as LeBron.
Bronny finally scored five points in a full quarter of play. What they need to do with Bronny is get a shooting coach and practice 1000 shots a day, and eventually he can make some shots. I guess he just does not practice shooting, because his shooting is terrible. Other then his shooting, his defense is average, and we might as well face it, as long as LeBron is with the Lakers, the coaches under pressure from LeBron will play his son.
What a beatdown! Nice to see Shake Milton get a chance and shine. Heck even Bronny played the entire 4th.
The Lakers actually have added some nice additions lately. I would not fall for the greedy teams that want like four Laker players plus number one draft picks. Those teams that want to milk the Lakers dry are the Bulls, and the Spurs want to send the old man Chris Paul to the Lakers. That is all we need is another ancient player like Chris Paul. I say NO! The Lakers have some tall players if they just give them a chance to play. They have the seven foot Kaloko, Rui Hachimura, Jaxson Hayes, Jemison at 6'10" and even Finney Smith. But the coach has to use these players and let them get accustom playing side by side with AD. All those mentioned are at least 6'10" with the exception of Hayes and Kaloko who are seven foot tall.
After watching Jonas Valanciunas play, he did not impress me at all. And Kuzma has not impressed me either. We really do not need another point guard. LeBron takes over most of the time. I would trade Vincent and Shifino, and Bronny to the Jazz for Sexton.
