Lineup Change

PETE ZAYAS
About this episode

The Lakers made a big lineup change, moving Jarred Vanderbilt to the starting five in place of D'Angelo Russell and then promptly split their weekend games with a win over the Thunder and then a Christmas Day loss to the Celtics. Pete, Mike, and Darius discuss the details of the lineup shift, the schematic changes that came with it, and discuss how it played out in both games -- particularly the loss to the Celtics. Then later, they debate whether more changes are needed as the team searches for long term solutions on both sides of the ball.
