Summary
From starting DeAndre Jordan next to Anthony Davis to playing lineups that featured multiple shooters who can struggle defensively, Frank Vogel put forward some lineup groupings in the preseason opener that could provide us some insight into his mindset about this season's Lakers. Pete and Darius discuss what, if anything, they learned from some of those groupings and then forecast what it might mean moving forward. Later, the guys discuss how the LeBron and Dwight Howard pairing could factor into bench units and whether Russell Westbrook's tendency to play in similar parts of the game as LeBron will influence what those bench groupings look like.
