Part 2: More Reasons for Optimism with the Lakers in 2022-23: Monday's episode was all about reasons to feel optimistic that this year's Lakers could pay off ESPN predictions to become Team Turnaround, rather than those picking them to be this season's Team Turmoil. Subtle indications the shooting could be a little better than believed, for example. Today, more reasons to feel positive! Because we're all about the vibes this week. For starters, go to the centers. The Lakers had arguably the worst, most unplayable pair of C's the league has seen in a while, ping-ponging from DeAndre Jordan to Dwight Howard when Anthony Davis was either unavailable or playing power forward. With Thomas Bryant and Damian Jones, the Lakers recover a lot of the qualities they've worked effectively whether with JaVale McGee/Howard in 2020, or what was supposed to be working with Marc Gasol and Montrezz Harrell two seasons ago. Spacing, vertical threats, athleticism, and so on. Then there's coaching. His faul by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Darvin Ham Adds Chris Jent to his Staff... Could the Lakers Add Bradley Beal to the Roster?: It was a busy weekend for Darvin Ham as he fills out his coaching staff. Multiple reports say the Lakers will hire Chris Jent, a longtime assistant who has worked both with Ham in Atlanta and LeBron James in Cleveland, for a lead assistant position. What does he bring? Meanwhile Quinton Crawford, a very well regarded young coach who Ham had hoped to keep from Frank Vogel's staff, will be joining Jason Kidd in Dallas. As for more names... how about Rasheed Wallace? When asked about 'Sheed, long rumored to be coming to LA, Ham told Rich Eisen he could "neither confirm nor deny" that was a thing, but said it with a laugh and noted he's a candidate for sure. What would adding Wallace mean for Anthony Davis? Finally, on a recent podcast the great Kevin O'Connor of The Ringer noted that the Lakers have some interest in Washington star Bradley Beal, who has said he has made a decision about his future by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Will the Lakers Sign Anthony Davis to an Extension this Offseason? Plus, the Lakers-Nuggets Feud Grows!: With most of the big free agent work done, attention can turn to other important issues central to the team's future. Like what's coming for Anthony Davis. The Lakers star is eligible for a new contract extension before the season, one that could add another three years and nearly $168 million to his contract. ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports the Lakers are likely to come to some sort of arrangement with A.D. before the season starts - details TBD. Obviously those details matter, but bigger picture, it raises all kinds of questions about not only the Lakers and their future (this would be the first deal taking Davis well beyond the LeBron James Timeline, Davis will be well into his 30s, and so on) but the way contracts like this will be handled across the league. With the new CBA, will teams automatically give out these extensions/max contracts to star players? Is this something the La by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

How Would a Shift in the "Player Empowerment" Era Impact the Lakers? Plus, Mailbag!!!: NBA headlines have been occupied by the trade demands of James Harden from Philadelphia, and Damian Lillard from Portland. Tuesday, NBA headlines were occupied by journeyman guard Austin Rivers talking about those trade demands. He doesn't think they're good for the game, and are contributing to what he sees as a bad deal for players in the new CBA. So beyond the philosophical questions about whether he's right, there are implications for the Lakers in how fans, media and owners view these expressions of player empowerment. The Lakers, after all, have a long history of being central in power plays, whether in trade demands made by Lakers players (think Kobe, Shaq) or perhaps more importantly, players trying to force their way to LA (most recently, Anthony Davis). The Lakers will always be central in these conversations, as a crown jewel of the league and a very popular place to play.

Harden Sacrifices Money, Sixers Get Reinforcements | Can Lakers Salvage Westbrook Situation? | Should Nets Just Run It Back With Durant & Kyrie?: Jackson Gatlin (@JTGatlin) is joined by Keith Pompey (@Locked On Sixers) to discuss James Harden's reportedly sacrificing A LOT of money for the Philadelphia 76ers to be able to add some much needed depth to the roster, acquiring PJ Tucker, De'Anthony Melton, and Danuel House. What does this say about Harden's desire to win? How important is the "version" of James Harden the Sixers get next year? Who will be the most impactful player added to the Sixers rotation? What is Tobias Harris' future in Philly? Then, Andy Kamenetzsky (@Locked On Lakers) stops by to discuss whether or not the LA Lakers can salvage the Russell Westbrook situation and establish a contender-worthy roster around LeBron James and Anthony Davis again.

Lakers in Holding Pattern After Joe Tsai Rebuffs Durant's Ultimatum. Plus, the Ham/Russ dynamic.: Monday, it was revealed that Kevin Durant served Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai with an ultimatum: You can keep me, or you can keep coach Steve Nash and GM Sean Marks. But you really can't keep both, if you want to keep me happy, at least. Tuesday, Tsai revealed his response: We like support our coach, our GM will make decisions based on what's best for the org and will do it on our timeline. So there you have it. Many Lakers fans saw the news and assumed that KD and the Nets are now at loggerheads, and that a trade would have to come fast. And hey, maybe it does, but unfortunately for the Lakers (who want to swoop in on that fallout and snatch up Kyrie Irving), Durant and Brooklyn being at an impasse doesn't necessarily mean the trade will come quickly, or that the Nets automatically trade Irving even when it does.

Could the Lakers/LeBron Get Christian Wood to Buy in, and is Anthony Davis a True Franchise Player?: The Lakers' fourteenth roster spot remains in flux, and according to multiple reports, could be earmarked for free agent Christian Wood, a talented but highly polarizing journeyman forward/center. Why does he rub some folks the wrong way? Because other than scoring, which he's admittedly quite good at, he doesn't seem dedicated to much else, especially defense. How hard would it be to change this? Well, according to an NBA source who spoke to Dan Woike (LA Times), “If LeBron [James] can get [Wood] to toe the line, it cements LeBron as the greatest player of all time... That's how hard it is." Oh my... But according to Woike, that doesn't necessarily mean the Lakers wouldn't give this project a go, anyway. He joined Locked on Lakers to discuss the Lakers' internal split on signing Wood, along with the many pros and cons on either side of the argument.

Why Haven't the Lakers Issued an Update On Anthony Davis' Foot Injury? Is That a Bad Sign?: Sometimes no news is good news. But other times, no news is nerve-wracking, and sets off all sorts of alarm bells. Like when the news nobody is getting is about Anthony Davis and his health, following a foot injury last week that seemed innocent enough at the time. The Lakers were reportedly going to deliver an update on Monday... and we all went to bed Wednesday night without anything. Not even the now-standard "will be re-evaluated in X number of weeks." There's not even an official diagnosis. Fans can be forgiven for assuming the news may not be good. Nobody necessarily expects him to miraculously appear on the floor Friday or on Christmas, but the longer they go with radio silence, the more concerned Lakers fans will get. Maybe they clear it all up on Thursday!

Where it All Stands for the Lakers, Nets, Westbrook, Kyrie, Durant, LeBron... Hell, Everyone!!!: A day barely passes without some news leaking about the Los Angeles Lakers, the Brooklyn Nets, and some trade that will affect Russell Westbrook, Kyrie Irving, Kevin Durant, LeBron James, Anthony Davis... even folks like Joe Harris, Seth Curry, and Talen Horton-Tucker, or teams like the San Antonio Spurs, Phoenix Suns, Indiana Pacers or Charlotte Hornets. So much of the NBA landscape is essentially stuck in neutral as the Nets sort out their conflict with the disgruntled Durant, which could create a butterfly effect of massive proportions. So what's happening these days in Brooklyn? To break it all down, Andy Kamenetzky (with Brian Kamenetzky out on vacation) spoke with Adam Armbrecht from Locked On Nets. The topics included the trade offers thus far declined for Durant, what makes him difficult to move, why he even wants out in the first place, and where things stand between the Nets and I by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
