[McMenamin] Darvin Ham announces that D’Angelo Russell will be the Lakers’ starting point guard from Day 1. LAL’s marquee outside free agent signing was Gabe Vincent, who can also play the position, but according to Ham, Vincent will begin the season as a backup.

Well that solves that
Makes sense
I can’t believe this really needed to be said.
Dlo/austin/vando/lebron/AD is the starting lineup that got us to the playoffs. If it aint broke dont fix it.
As he should
Who will be finishing tho?
Atta boy pump his trade value. I hope we get someone who’s not afraid of the post season.

Gabe is the same age and has 5 years less experience in the nba
As it should be
It was never really that big of a debate for me.
I think the real reason it became a talking point is because there’s probably not a lock for Dlo to close every night and Vincent may be the better option closing games particularly if Dlo is off that particular night.
Good, D’lo usually plays great in the regular season, the lineups can also be adjusted come playoff time
DLo is better, no question about it. His spacing benefits LeBron and AD as well, you can check the +/- record when they are on the floor together.
This isn’t a shocker, just look at their contracts.
If dlo is starting, that probably means vando is starting too
Would be dumb to mess with DLo’s confidence. Let Vincent win the job.
As expected. If he shooting returns to his pre-Lakers form, he’s going to be very good next to AD and Bron.
*sighs*
Why is this even a question? Lol
