You’re 25th in ORTG for the year while being 13th in DRTG. Basically your defense is slightly above average while your offense is complete ass. Trust me brother, you need Lavine.
A big part of the Lakers’ rebounding issues is because they’ve been forced to play Taurean Prince starters minutes due to all the injuries. He has some positive qualities, but he’s a horrendous rebounder for a forward. If the Lakers were at full strength, he likely wouldn’t even be in the rotation, as he’d probably be the 10th or 11th man.
Full strength the Laker rotation would probably be AD, LeBron, Vanderbilt, Reddish and D’lo starting, with Reaves, Vincent, Rui, Wood and Hayes off the bench. Prince and Max Christie (who have both been starting) would probably mostly fall out of the rotation except in garbage time or very limited minutes.
