How Should NBA Fix the Buyout Market?: J&J: LaMarcus Aldridge Debuts For The Nets, Are The Nuggets A Real Threat? by ESPN Podcasts

Is the Hield/Turner for Westbrook/Draft Picks Trade Dead? Should the Lakers Revive It?: Last week brought the news that the Lakers had been kicking the tires again on a potential trade with Indiana that would bring guard Buddy Hield and perhaps center Myles Turner to Los Angeles in exchange for (broadly) Russell Westbrook and draft picks. Or apparently, draft PICK, which explains why the deal is reportedly dead for now. The Pacers want the Lakers to include both of their tradable first round picks, and Lakers are only willing - for now - to part with one. Is that a mistake for the Lakers, who undeniably need to improve their talent base and upgrade their shooting to have even a moderate shot at contention this year? Would making this deal improve them enough to make it worth it? If they hold out, what exactly might those assets bring? Can they wait around for Brooklyn to sort out this Kevin Durant mess, and by extension, the Kyrie Irving question?

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. Meanwhile, the e by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

What Do the Lakers Owe LeBron James? Is Rob Pelinka Not Keeping Promises?: The 2022-23 Lakers are in deep trouble, but are also, by all indications, in a holding pattern when it comes to making deals to try and rescue this season. As they head into Tuesday's tilt with Orlando seven games under .500 and staring down a long stretch without Anthony Davis, the prospect of another disaster of a season has people asking whether the Lakers are wasting the best/rest of LeBron James's career. What do they owe him? Did Rob Pelinka really make a commitment ahead of training camp to do anything to try and win while he's here? How big a commitment did James make to the Lakers, really? Yes, he signed an extension, but just for a year, plus an option. It's not like he created some sort of blood pact with the team. But all of this begs more questions. Are the Lakers correct in holding tight, even if it makes them look bad in the reflection of their own history, with Team James, and in some media circl by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Late Summer Mailbag: It’s about time to find out what’s on our listeners’ minds via a late summer mailbag. We’ve got some great questions: What do we think of the Knicks lawsuit vs the Raptors? How about the NBA fining James Harden $100,000? How secure are “wink-wink” deals? Is it possible each of the top-5 teams in the East is worse next year? Which stars make a sum greater than their parts? Which year will Luka be the top player in the league, if ever? Who would be the best fitting big for the Lakers to sign? What do we think of the criticisms that the new CBA limits contracts for mid-market guys?

Is LeBron James Already Taking Shots at Rob Pelinka, Jeanie Buss and Lakers Management?: Maybe it's nothing... but nobody seems to think that. Lebron James, who is no stranger to passive aggressive use of social media to make a point, posted Thursday on Instagram a highlight dunk, and a question: "How long will you be taken for granted?" It was widely interpreted as a shot at Lakers management, with the idea they're wasting a still highly productive James. Or at the least, he seemed more than willing to let people make that assumption for at least a day. And James, no neophyte when it comes to social media, certainly understands how a post like that would be interpreted. So what does it mean if James is already taking shots? Does it change the calculus for how the Lakers can and should look at the trade market? Does it raise the temperature on Rob Pelinka to relent and make a deal he'd otherwise rather pass on? Is there reason to believe that some of the problems with the offense are d by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Can the Lakers Make a Trade to Help LeBron? And what's LeBron's Trade Value, if he Requests One?: Reports currently forecast Anthony Davis will be sidelined through mid-January... at the earliest. So maybe that's the next 10 or so games, maybe 15, if we're all being reasonably optimistic, based on current information. Where will the Lakers be when he returns? How much time would they have to integrate new parts, even if the team actually made a deal? Does the record even matter, or has the braintrust already made up its mind, short of some sort of miracle development on the trade market? And now that LeBron James has made it abundantly clear he wants/expects to play meaningful basketball games, the kind occurring in playoff series, in his final seasons, how does that factor in? Do the Lakers need to consider LeBron's comments as February's trade deadline approaches? Is there even a meaningful deal out there to make? Are the Lakers more frightened of making a deal or standing pat? How m by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
