Dwight or JaVale in the same coverages wouldn’t fix the issues we saw tonight.
Playing them in drop doesn’t either.
Yes, they’d help in specific areas, but the root cause of the loss tonight isn’t fixed with them in for Harrell/Gasol/whoever. https://t.co/BqxQmzLGYT

Lakers don’t want to play drop coverage anymore, which is a big part of why the Lakers didn’t bring either of them back. It’s why Morris and AD played the 4/5 in the playoffs. They want to rotate and switch and challenge shots everywhere on the court, not sag into the post to protect the rim. You saw that with Marc Gasol against the Blazers. This was the lesson the Lakers learned in the playoffs and why McGee and Howard became unplayable. Problem last night was Trezz AND AD didn’t do their jobs.
