The debate opened by the Lakers' starting quintet
Numerous schools of thought revolve around which starting five JJ Redick should choose if there are no further changes to the roster.
A tense calm is being felt within Los Angeles Lakers right now. Everything indicates that management has managed to persuade, at least for the time being, Lebron James to stay with the team, but nothing is taken for granted yet. With a team caught between competing for everything now and continuing to build for a few years ahead, JJ Redick has doubts about the starting five.
The big question surrounding Los Angeles Lakers right now is whether Austin Reaves will stay or leave the team. Many insist on trading the talented small forward in order to bring in an All-Star level player, even giving up a draft pick and another player. However, management is undecided, and everything could stay the same. They may sign another low-cost center, like Horford or Vucevic, but always as a backup to a fully trusted Ayton.
Therefore, JJ Redick's doubts lie in giving the starting position to Austin Reaves or, on the other hand, keeping the creative small forward for the second unit, so that he leads offensively when Doncic and/or Lebron are resting. In this latter case, Marcus Smart would be the starter. What seems clear is that Rui Hachimura will have a prominent role in the team, as long as they don't decide to shake things up with a trade affecting the Japanese player.
