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

13d 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 Ringer's Kevin O'Connor has noted a couple of times throughout the offseason that the Lakers are keeping an eye on Luka Doncic, should something sour in his relationship with the Dallas Mavericks.

Was Re-Signing Max Christie a Mistake for the Lakers? Plus, Christian Wood Vows a Big Season! 34:10

1d ago34:10

34:10

Most Lakers fans were quite pleased when the team re-signed young forward Max Christie to a four year, $32 million dollar deal this offseason. It's seen as one of the few bright spots in an otherwise dull summer. But it's not a move that has received a ton of attention or scrutiny, either, other than maybe a couple lifted eyebrows at the dollar amo…

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

4d 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

5d 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

6d 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

7d 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…

PART TWO: A Twitter follower wanted to know which young player really needs to pop this season and the answer is pretty easily Max Christie. To this point, he's been a mostly theoretical player.

8d 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/…
