Are Rob Pelinka and the Lakers Squandering LeBron's Final Seasons? Guest, Michael Pina (The Ringer) 35:59

2d ago35:59

35:59

For Lakers fans, the Olympics were a bittersweet event. On the one hand, Anthony Davis, and especially LeBron James, played some great basketball. They won a gold medal. James, pushing 40, was named MVP. On the other hand, it was a reminder that the Lakers are not title contenders, despite having a still-elite James at the top of their roster. It w…

Can the Lakers Find Jarred Vanderbilt's Role On Offense? Plus, Redick and Player Development! 31:23

3d ago31:23

31:23

The Lakers are hoping to get healthy again this year. Not with their stars, of course, since Anthony Davis and LeBron James played as many games as anyone could/would have hoped last season. But Jarred Vanderbilt was a non-factor for most of the season thanks to injury, and the Lakers suffered greatly for it. More than most people would have antici…

ESPN, Other Media Experts Predicting the Lakers to Stumble This Season. Too Much Negativity? 33:06

4d ago33:06

33:06

The Los Angeles Lakers have had a remarkably quiet offseason. This is no secret. And as we finish up transaction season and start taking stock on where teams in the Western Conference (and across the league). Not surprisingly, perhaps, the reviews aren't good. The pundits of ESPN, for example, overwhelmingly picked the Lakers to be "Team Turmoil," …

How the Lakers and Clippers Stack Up in the West After Challenging Offseasons? 36:39

5d ago36:39

36:39

The Lakers get a ton of attention when it comes to the lack of offseason improvement. They are the only team in the NBA to not make a signing or trade of any kind to bring in a new player, and are leaning hard into LeBron James and Anthony Davis. The only fresh faces come from the Draft. But while the Lakers didn't make themselves better... they al…

Can the Lakers Win Games Early While Keeping LeBron, Davis Fresh? Plus, Rich Paul Nixed LeBron to Warriors? 32:05

7d ago32:05

32:05

The Lakers have a bit of a challenge to start the year. They need to get off to a good start, in part because the second half of the season features some difficult stretches, and they'd really like to avoid having to go full tilt in, say, early February just to make sure they get into the postseason. That wears down the battery of the LeBron James/…

The Lakers Schedule is Released! Highlights for the 2024-2025 NBA Season 33:01

5d ago33:01

33:01

It's schedule day! Among the most hyped and least consequential days of the NBA summer, one here to remind us all how much we want the games to start. But while it's easy to overstate the importance of schedule day, it does set the table for the upcoming season, and can either seem to raise roadblocks to a successful season or, at least on paper, s…

LeBron James, Anthony Davis, the Olympics, Joyous Basketball and Legacy (Guest, Aaron Larsuel) 34:39

11d ago34:39

34:39

It's August, so there's not really a news cycle to follow, which is good because it leaves space to have in-depth conversations with someone like friend-of-the-show Aaron Larsuel about the just-ended Paris games. It's a chance to think not just about what the games did for LeBron's legacy and Anthony Davis's reputation, but also how the performance…

Should D'Angelo Russell Come Off the Bench for the Lakers? With Guest Anthony Irwin 34:57

12d ago34:57

34:57

The Lakers have a problem. Or at least seem to. D'Angelo Russell is not exactly well-loved inside the building in El Segundo, at least not to the degree of an Austin Reaves or Rui Hachimura, or other supporting players about whom the Lakers seem to express more enthusiasm. But they can't afford to just dump the guy in whatever trade they can find, …

The Lakers and Suns Have Many Similarities. Which Team is Closer to a Title? (With Brendon Kleen) 35:09

14d ago35:09

35:09

One good way to learn about your team is to compare it to others, especially a franchise that shares many common points. For the Lakers, that team (in a lot of ways at least) is the Phoenix Suns. Phoenix, like the Lakers, is basically all-in on their roster, one dominated by top end stars and lacking in reliable depth. Both teams are up against the…

Team USA Wins Gold, LeBron is MVP. Do James, Anthony Davis (or Another Laker?) Play in '28? 34:57

14d ago34:57

34:57

The US won a gold in Paris on Saturday, in an entertaining game featuring a Steph Curry heater for the ages as the Americans beat France. But it was LeBron James who walked away with the tournament MVP award, based on a run of consistency and high performance that outdid Curry, who really only played well for the semi-final vs. Serbia and then agai…

34:07

It wasn't easy, but Team USA got it done on Thursday, thanks to a huge fourth quarter comeback that eliminated Serbia and sent the Americans to the Gold Medal game vs. France. Final score, 95-91. Not terribly surprising, but in the middle of it all was LeBron James. Yep, the oldest guy on the team was arguably its best player throughout (at least t…

18d ago34:51

34:51

The betting markets aren't necessarily a perfect way to measure or forecast an NBA season. After all, they're created with gamblers in mind, encouraging them to put their money in spots where maybe it shouldn't go. Remember, that includes casual fans, not just hard core NBA enthusiasts. But given how awards work, they're also a pretty decent shorth…

Can Anthony Davis Move Back to Power Forward for the Lakers? Plus, Team USA Rolls On... 31:59

19d ago31:59

31:59

As Lakers fans watch Anthony Davis and LeBron James help push Team USA deeper into the Olympic hoops tourney, there's a lot of chatter among online purple and gold fans about how Davis is performing, and the way he's playing. Paired often with another great defensive center in Bam Adebayo, Davis looks at times much more like the old PF he was when …

More Reasons Not to Trade Rui for Jerami Grant, plus the Lakers Fill Out JJ Redick's Coaching Staff 29:39

20d ago29:39

29:39

Last week, Mike Richman from Locked On Blazers helped explain why trading for Portland forward Jerami Grant, while at least a somewhat defensible idea on paper, was much less positive for the Lakers in practice. Well, it seems like that's the consensus among NBA execs, as well. Reporting from Sean Deveaney, writing for Heavy.com, confirms the conse…

The Lakers on Friday unveiled a new statue outside Crypto.com Arena, honoring Kobe and Gianna Bryant. It is, as you might suspect, very different from the other statues and honoraries in the plaza outside the arena. But it's not just the presentation — capturing that iconic photo of the two courtside following Kobe's retirement — but also because u…

How Much Can Max Christie Improve the Lakers? What about a healthy Vanderbilt and Vincent? 30:28

24d ago30:28

30:28

Among the more confounding of Darvin Ham's habits in the mind of many Lakers fans was his unwillingness to give steady minutes to Max Christie, even if the team seemed to need some of his skill set at different points throughout the season. Well, having signed an four-year, $32 million contract this offseason, Christie is going to play. Now it's a …

Anthony Davis Starts for Team USA, Coach K Explains Why JJ Redick Will Be a Great Coach 31:29

25d ago31:29

31:29

The biggest controversy to this point for Team USA, whether in their pre-Olympic training or the time spent in Paris, has centered around Joel Embiid, and his poor play (in a vacuum, and especially compared to the other centers on the roster). Wednesday against South Sudan, coach Steve Kerr sat Embiid down. For the whole game. That meant more oppor…

33:28

The Lakers have done nothing this offseason. No trades, no signings. Nothing. So when there's one guy who is seemingly available for the type of haul the Lakers can actually satisfy, it's worth a conversation about whether it's a good idea. That's the state of things with Portland forward Jerami Grant. For Tuesday's show, Mike Richman of Locked On …

Should the Lakers Trade for Jerami Grant? Would He Improve the Defense? A Scouting Report! 32:50

32:50

The Lakers have, just in case you've been sleeping through the summer, done as close to nothing as a team can assuming they actually participate in the Draft. No free agent signings. No trades. Nothing. And aside from Zach LaVine, who Chicago can't seem to get rid of but has very, very little buzz around him (not just with the Lakers, but everywher…

LeBron Dominates Vs. Serbia for Team USA, and Tyus Jones to Suns. Did the Lakers Miss Out? 32:04

32:04

Sunday, the US Men's National Team scored an impressive win over Serbia to kick off their run at the Paris Olympics. A big reason for that success was LeBron James, who scored 21 points, and added nine rebounds and seven assists and a steal in only 27 minutes. The dude was dominant. And this against high end competition. LeBron was often the best p…
