Kuzma has improved immensely on the defensive end this season, with one big example being his job on Pascal Siakam. Broke down some of the differences in the matchup from November to August. pic.twitter.com/vCB6klYSAx

AD said his primary focus when teams are playing aggressively against him and frequently double-teaming is just to find the open man. Tonight, they didn’t hit shots. He added that his legs feel good at this point despite the long layoff. He’s just happy to be playing games.

Thanks for this great post, Michael. I have noticed that you and I are always on the same boat when it comes to the make up of Lakers roaster.

For a team that came together for the first time to start the season and embarking on a defensive journey that will eventually propell them to the top of the Western Conference, the idea of rushing to make changes to the roaster just right after they won a championsip is frivolous. In fact, keeping the team intact would be more fruitfull and tangible as it will allow for more keenness, continuity and a well polished defensive acumen.

Dynasties are built on continuity and if this team comes back together as is, they will be more potent and dangerous. The team is just about to start feeling the hunger for more championships and they have just scratched the surface. Therefore, I am not in favor of any wholesale changes or trades that will compromise the versatility and size of the team. I will certainly look to add one or two sharp shooters if they fell on our lap without tearing down the team, and that will do it for me. I totally agree with you.
