Part of the NBA trends I wrote about today is increasing on-ball pressure.Lakers did some with Vincent, Goodwin, Vando in regular season but that apart from G2 fell off in the playoffs. Athletes, speed, POA pressure a gap to fill in the offseason👇 https://t.co/nec7A93QEm— Iztok Franko (@iztok_franko) May 9, 2025
Neither could crack the Geniuses rotation so there’s that often ignored factoid. Hard to understand how both fell out of the playoff rotation so quickly and yet we got 5 awful minutes from max Kleber in the close out game. Odd.
VANDERBILT was mentioned as if he was a regular contributor thru the entire past season….he played in 36 games….16 minutes average in those games….that’s 3 seasons in a row he has been a taking up space on the roster, (32 games average over the past two seasons….and approximately $36 million in salary owed for the next 3 seasons….I’m beginning to understand why Pelinka doesnt finish higher in executive of the year).
