NBA Exec Says the Lakers Should Get Zach LaVine. Plus, the Best Non-HOF Lakers!
Manage episode 438457358 series 1657213
The Lakers are, most observers believe, stuck. They don't have a lot of stuff to trade - not that other teams want, at least - nor are there all that many players out there to acquire. Not without giving up a ton for questionable gains (trading picks for Jerami Grant, for example).
There is, of course, one exception. A guy seemingly on the block permanently, who wouldn't cost a lot (well, not in some ways) and offered by motivated sellers. That's Chicago's Zach LaVine.
To this point, the Lakers have reportedly shown no interest, but at least according to one unnamed NBA executive, they probably should. Dan Woike of the LA Times passes along the analysis in his weekly newsletter. Would LaVine be a good idea? Is there a construction of this trade where it actually would be the sort of thing the Lakers would be foolish to turn down?
Have we reached a point where the anti-LaVine sentiment is overstated?
What's the case to be made?
From there, it's a continuation of the continuity discussion. ESPN noted the Lakers have a ton of it. But is that a good thing, in context?
HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
SEGMENT 1: Is it LaVine time?
SEGMENT 2: Is there a context where LaVine becomes a good idea?
SEGMENT 3: Fun "best of's..." for Lakers non-HOFers...
