2024 NBA Season

[GatotKaca]

In today's pre-season match, De'Andre Hunter, Cam Reddish and Zion Williamson made their debut at the State Farm Arena. New Orleans Pelicans successfully beat Hawks with a final score of 133-109. in my opinion as pick no.1 in the 2019 NBA Draft, Zion played well and amazed the audience!

Honestly speaking, Rondo will not gonna receive much game time on Lakers tho.

Because he has a conflict of position with Lebron, when Lebron played with the Cavaliers in his last season, he was very effective as point guard and that's why he brought that style of play in this team now, maybe if he has a star player PG he might not take the position like the time when he was still playing with Kyrie Irving.

Yeah since lakers have much Power Forward and small forward, Definitely Lebron will gonna take the point guard post, Maybe he will be sitting in the bench most the game since LBJ rest is only minimal per game. An interesting tandem is trio boogyman, davis and dwight. They will surely dominate the western conference that 3 key player plays in sync with each other. Even warriors sharpshooter will gonna have a hard time breaking there defense and offense as well. I hope that this kind of super-team will gonna restrict in the future to have fair gaming. NBA nowadays is just having money and creating a super team. It's easy to predict who will gonna be in the playoffs and finals.

I dont think another superstar PG would complement Lebron's style of playing today. As you said, he have effectively fill that position very well, because he is an offensive threat. When Lebron is carrying the ball he could draw multiple defenders leaving his teammates wide open, plus he has good court vision and passing ability too. Even with Iso, he would kill a single defender.

What Im seeing with Rondo rn is a good back PG. Maybe he could start at the starting line up too, but I doubt It. When Kuzma comes back, he'll probably start at the first 5 along side Green, AD, and McGee. So, whos gonna play at the PG position? Obviously its gonna be Lebron.

They will dominate the paint, we know that, AD, Mcgree, and Lebron can all play a center position if they wish too, ,and these 3 although bigs, but they are fast and they can shoot good FG as well, and take note, these big man are all good FT shooters, expect for Lebron which sometimes unstable.

We have seen the effectiveness of LeBron as point guard against the GSW. So no doubt about him deciding the plays for his team and let him orchestrate their plays.

That's the adjustment Rondo needs to accept, If Lakers are aiming for this season's title for sure they will allow Lebron to take the lead. He's effective when he play in PG position, many game play can execute since he's capable to run. No problem with outside and inside offense plus a good defensive
stop when it's needed. The line up is very competitive not just a hype but really have a balance squad.

If Davis will be effective, Lebron will likely to have a good stats this season, a double double is likely while a triple double is still possible since he is good in hist assist and rebounding.

It's gonna be points-rebounds-assist, he will dominate in that category for sure.

Lebron being the point forward will work but he may have to delegate that ball handling work to their PG to give some confidence to his teammates. Seems to me that he has no trust on their PG thus he take their position  .

Anyway, that works when he was with the Heat and the Cavs, no reason why it won't work in the Lakers squad. Maybe he want to be sure that AD must touch the rock before it hit the rim.

[stadus]

It's gonna be points-rebounds-assist, he will dominate in that category for sure.

If that's the case then let's look at the odds for Lebron to win the MVP this season.
He is at +900 now, and I think is so undervalued considering the Lakers are a much more improve team now and Lebron will not likely to get injured since he has someone whom he can rely to help him in the offense.

Talking about dominating the paint, yes they surely can. I dont recall any teams who have bigger starting line up other than the Mavs ( Marjanovic and Porzingis) or if I missed something? I havent yet reviewed the whole roster of all NBA teams. 
Some might say Its just a pre-season after the Lakers blow-out at the bay. But, we can't deny how everyone in the team played in a good rythm.

Hoping they could keep it up until the end of the season and the playoffs.
I am not a Laker fan but I want great games to be seen whenever I watch the NBA.
Mostly, it will be a shooting game by now. But with the roster in the West looks like it will be who can dominate the paint that will predict the rhythm

Yeah they debuted well on their first NBA game. Although it was a preseason game well at least that was still a match. Zion Williamson made quite the appearance that game. He's so good and when he's bringing the ball to jam in the rim, he jams it real hard. You can feel the anger and the excitement from him.

Man, I can't believe at Lonzo Ball's performance he's shooting threes now with higher accuracy. I guess that his training is finally paying off. His shot is quite centered now unlike when he entered the NBA, his shot came from the left that made it unorthodox.

He has trust on them alright...but very little 
He will also delegate ball handling to the PG...only when he's resting

i can feel it man. Zion shows several times a hard dunk. no wonder he was chosen as number one in the 2019 nba draft pick.
after seeing the appearance of the Lonzo Ball I was surprised by the lakers why releasing talented young players like him. It seems that lonzo is quickly adapting to his teammates in Pelicans at the moment

Yeah, I really idolize Lonzo Ball since the hype. And look at this news, AD NOT FULLY COMMITED TO LAKERS. Since LeBron is aging, he needs to work harder. Anyway, it's just a rumor, I feel that both are building a relationship very well.
Man, I didn't saw the game between Rockets and Raptors, I just saw it on highlights in youtube. Russ is playing unselfish, wow and his explosiveness is still visible.
Also, I want to point out Fred Vanfleet with his three point shots. He took an upgrade by shooting several feet before the arc. Although I'm looking forward seeing this stuff in a real game. That game was like an all star game. It's like a game to give since they are in Japan to entertain.

Lonzo is decent but getting AD back you would include any young player, AD is a stud.  Also rj barrett had his first preseason game as well.  The kid looked fast and every bit worth the #3 pick.  I'm hoping he turns into the star knicks can build around.  Knicks might not win a ton of games this year but I think their future is finally headed in the right direction

I can't expect less than the teammate of Zion Williamson. By the summer league, I don't know if you heard about this but people are calling RJ Barrett as bust. Like, they didn't even saw him playing in the court. Now, he should prove them wrong. He's lefty just like Zion but he's faster because of his physical built.

People think Rondo will not play like Rondo plays because of Lebron but you guys are missing that dude made 8 assists per game last season on Lakers with Lebron, he may not get 30+ minutes of play but he will be a starter and from what we have seen on the preseason games we can definitely expect the same level of playmaking from Rondo this season as well.

Lebron is no longer playing the playmaker role, he is a great passer and he will continue his passes but he will not playmake as in bring the ball up the floor and try to run a play, that is what Rondo did last season and on preseason and that is what he will do this year as well. It is just what he is good for and you can't utilize him any other way. There will be enough passes for both of them anyway with Danny green shooting and Kuzma scoring and Davis under the basket wrecking havoc.

I guess Zion wanted to impressed everyone during the pre season game. We all know that during his college days he can really go up in the ring and give us some high light reel dunks because he is so powerful.

I love Lonzo and seeing him improving his threes now is really impressive. Lots of thing inside and outside the court had happen to this kid and I do hope that he can still play good despite all the negativity around him.

Rondo became lowkey and many fans stopped realizing the guy's contribution every game. The lower minutes he play, I think that whenever he's inside the court he'll show again the true him as he doesn't want to waste that time given to him. Lakers is hell of the roster now but still I don't want to commit too much expectation from them. The league has become tougher and tougher and teams that were composed of superstars last season struggled.
