2021-22 season has passed, but the Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets are both the worst teams of NBA last season, but they are also very bad teams in everyone's minds as they enter the offseason. Lakers is caught in the trading scandal of Westbrook , but he has not been sent away yet. Brooklyn Nets Irving contract renewal fell into trouble, and Durant once forced a deal, but fortunately Nets stabilized the situation, allowing the team to continue to maintain the Big Three next season.
Nevertheless, both the Los Angeles Lakers and the Brooklyn Nets are regarded as the most favorable contenders for the 2022-23 championship, because they both maintain a good Big Three now. But the problems they have now are not just the chemistry of the team. Fadeaway World will compare them from each major aspect of the two teams, including the starting lineup, bench players, coaches and key advantages, so we can know which team will perform better in the 2022-23 season.
Starting five-man lineup
Los Angeles Lakers: Westbrook, Nunn, LeBron James , Anthony Davis , Thomas Bryant
Brooklyn Nets: Kyrie Irving , Seth Curry , Kevin Durant , Ben Simmons , Clarkston
Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets' strongest starting five players seem to be better than the Nets. You should know that Irving and Kevin Durant are offensive players that the Lakers cannot limit, but the Lakers' Big Three is not the case. Westbrook's offense is no longer as good as before.
LeBron James is also old, and Anthony Davis can't perform better from tough physical confrontation. Ses Curry's three-pointer is also incomparable to Nunn, and Thomas Bryant is likely to be unable to win from Clarkston's encounter.
strongest bench
Los Angeles Lakers: Dennis Schroder , Patrick Beverly, Ronnie Walker IV, Austin Reeves , Juan Toscano Anderson, Damian Jones , Troy Brown Jr.
Brooklyn Nets: Patty Mills, Joe Harris , Edmond Sumner , Cam Thomas, TJ Warren, Reus Royce Rooney, Sharp
Los Angeles Lakers' offseason reinforcement looks a bit nonsense, but we can see that after the Lakers won Schroder , Beverly, Ronnie Walker, Tuscano Anderson and Damian Jones, the Lakers' bench looks much more reliable on both offense and defense.
However, the Brooklyn Nets' substitutes don't look bad either. Joe Harris and Patty Mills' three-pointers are one of the Nets' offensive weapons. TJ Warren may be reimbursed for the season, but Reus O'Neal will be the team's key substitute.
Head coach
Darwin Hamm vs. Steve Nash
Darwin Hamm is a defensive player of the Pistons Iron Barrel Formation and won the championship as a player. Steve Nash is an offensive genius of bombardment tactics, and the two can be said to be completely different categories of players. Steve Nash has demonstrated his incompetent coaching ability and is still disliked by the players. Darwin Hamm is different, with a championship background and a defensive foundation. He has the potential to lead the team to use excellent defense to limit the Brooklyn Nets' crazy offense.
