There's also Jared Vanderbilt, who they can play in more of a small ball lineup. Will they just lean smaller and just play smaller and play that kind of defensive switch one through five type of lineup like they did through this winning stretch?

Yeah.

Well, I think the first and foremost, they have to get a better starting setter than Jackson Hayes. So I think that's going to be the key thing to monitor here ahead of the February 6th trade deadline, because we'll get into the on-court dynamics with Luka and LeBron. But ultimately, looking at the current roster as it is composed, they already needed a backup center upgrade.

Then they traded Anthony Davis there. their starting center and the only player on this roster that could protect the rim and was a good defensive rebounder. So I look at rim protection and defensive rebounding and just defense in general as a bit of a concern for this group.

So I think ideally they add a better starting caliber center and they add another perimeter defender, you know, more more so like a backcourt guy, but maybe a guy who can guard like twos and threes similar to what Max Christie provided for them. So I think those are two options.

make a move here over the next few days. But at the same time, that was the Intel I was getting before the Luca trade. So it feels like anything is possible here over the next three days. It might've been a small move if you're the Lakers, man.
