[Baraheni] These are the most heavily used lineups in the league right now. Only the Raptors starters have played 200+ minutes together and lost their minutes. Even the 4-22 Wizards starting group has won their minutes!!!!

A lot of people here think our starters are good and we can be a good team if we improve our bench.
But our starters are also mediocre. Even with a great bench, we are probably a first round exit team.
This team is multiple trades away from making any sense.
For a team that’s supposed to be known for defence, we truly have not been good on defence…
It’s been like this for at least the last 3 weeks too. At least it was when I looked and that was before the IST. So, it’s BEEN a problem. It’s just totally fucking insane they haven’t changed any of the lineups yet
Surprised the Oklahoma 5 is as low as it is. Wonder if their FO is interested in a trade!
It’s time to change the starting lineup. Bench Dennis for Trent. We need shooting in the lineup . We should try to play Dennis and Jak together more as well.
Lol dude…
Is this a case of everybody seeing it but the front office? Or are they trying too hard to get as much as possible. I can respect the latter but I mean come on.
Well, FVV is being payed a fair price for his knees imo
It’s a spacing issue, that same lineup with FVV was +9.5 in 313 minutes last season.
Both [Pascal](https://www.nba.com/stats/lineups/advanced?CF=GROUP_NAME*E*siakam:MIN*G*100&GroupQuantity=2&TeamID=1610612761&dir=D&slug=advanced&sort=NET_RATING) and [Scottie](https://www.nba.com/stats/lineups/advanced?CF=GROUP_NAME*E*barnes:MIN*G*100&GroupQuantity=2&TeamID=1610612761&dir=D&slug=advanced&sort=NET_RATING) have their best net ratings playing next to Gary this season (and are negative next to Poeltl).
People that think our players are good need to watch other teams. OG is nothing amazing, there are a ton of 3+D players that produce at least 80% of what he does on a nightly basis. OG isn’t even consistent on the 3 part
It’s almost as if starting 4 non-shooters is a bad idea. While Dennis and especially Scottie have been great from 3 this season, they are still guarded as non-shooters. All the other teams have to do is pack the paint and guard OG tight and force him to drive and as we all know, OG isn’t exactly the most coordinated going to the basket. Doesn’t help when there’s like 4 other dudes there waiting for him.
They really need to move Shroder to the bench and bring up Gary as a starter. There’s just so many benefits to that move.
We’d get some more playmaking for the bench while Scottie and Pascal can more than make up for the playmaking for the starters. Gary would stretch the floor and would also shoot better being surrounded by better playmaking and more threats.
Bring back 2019 Gasol
