Darvin Ham Says the Lakers Have a Championship Caliber Roster. Is He Right?: Not that you'd expect otherwise, but Darvin Ham was talking up the Lakers roster earlier this week with Mark Medina of The Sporting Tribune. Ham says the Lakers absolutely have a roster capable of winning an NBA championship. Not that he was saying the Lakers should be prohibitive favorites or anything, but that they've got the pieces to get it done. So is he right? Or is this just a coach delivering the normal platitudes you get in July? It's hard to argue with his premise. The Lakers, after all, are coming off a Western Conference Finals appearance, and even if you don't think they radically improved this offseason, they certainly didn't get any worse. (And realistically, while the improvement wasn't massive - that sort of transformative thing wasn't really available to them - they enter the season with a more balanced roster than last season and the opportunity to build with continuity. That continuity thin by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Report: Christian Wood to have Surgery, but Vincent, Reddish Close to Return. Vanderbilt Still Up in the Air.: The Lakers Have Reinforcements On the Way... Maybe? Plus, LeBron On His Basketball IQ Many things related to the ability of the Lakers to make a run at the end of the year, and potentially into the playoffs, have to do with knowing who might be available to play. To that end, Monday was a fairly instructive day... kinda, sorta. We did learn, though not from the team, that PF/C Christian Wood's knee is going to keep him out weeks longer, possibly through the end of the season. So that's not good. There was conflicting information about Gabe Vincent and Jarred Vanderbilt. While some reports said that both would miss the rest of the year, others noted that Vincent expects to play again and is working his way back. For his part, Darvin Ham spoke about both in a manner that implied the team is expecting both to suit up before the end of the season. Clearly, though, Vanderbilt is by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Should the Lakers Make Cam Reddish a Starter Again? Plus, Back Surgery for Jalen-Hood Schifino.: The Lakers still have designs on moving up in the Western Conference, and the narrowest of windows in which to get it done. There are opportunities. The Suns, for example, have an insanely brutal schedule over their last 10 games, and the Lakers do own the tiebreaker against Phoenix. Sacramento is still in reach, and has a harder schedule than LA. But if the Lakers want to make any of this happen - and want to avoid the possibility of dropping to 10th, or even worse, open the door for a red hot Houston Rockets team, tonight's game at home against a moribund Philadelphia 76ers is simply one they should win, and must win. Must, must, must. Must. And it's those "should win" games where the Lakers have tended to struggle, playing down to the level of competition. Can't happen tonight. Meanwhile, the Lakers announced that Jalen Hood-Schifino will undergo a procedure to repair a disc issu by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Has Darvin Ham Lost the Locker Room (Again), as Lakers Get Ready for Huge Game vs. Bucks.: There was A LOT to unpack following Wednesday's epic, and extremely costly, collapse against the Sacramento Kings at the Crypt, one that fundamentally changed the arc of the season for the Lakers. A win didn't guarantee anything, but would have been a big boost to aspirations of finishing higher in the Western Conference, whether at the good end of the play in bracket, or even moving up to a top six position. With that loss, those dreams are basically shot. The Lakers could, with a strong push, maybe get to the eight. Anything higher than that feels unlikely, especially with the schedule in front of them. After, there were some fractures visible. LeBron James pointed to Anthony Davis's second foul as a turning point. The subtext - this stuff is happening too much lately, and needs to stop. Most folks pointed to a Lakers defense that totally collapsed, which points fingers at Davis, who pointe by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Larry Nance Jr. is (probably) back in action: On today's show, Chris Manning and Evan Dammarell cover updates from the Cavs' first All-Star media availability before answer three more questions about the second half of the Cavs' season: What will we think of Darius Garland at the end of the season?; Where Will Isaac Okoro’s offensive game be at the end of the year?; Where does the defense ultimately end up? Is it good? Is it just fine? Or is it bad? Full notes: According to the Cavs, Larry Nance Jr. is on track to play Friday. That should be a really good thing for the Cavs. As for Kevin Love and Darius Garland, it sounds less likely that they'll be back against the Pelicans. The Cavs' defense has altered between good and bad this year, almost to an extreme degree. But what is real and what isn't? All that seems secure is that Isaac Okoro and Jarrett Allen are good defenders to build a defense with. Speaking of Okoro, he's taken little steps forward on offense this year, but still f by Locked On Cavs - Daily Podcast On The Cleveland Cavaliers

How Does Jarred Vanderbilt's Injury Change the Lakers' Rotation, and Plans at the Trade Deadline?: It's a very, very busy week in the NBA with the trade deadline coming up on the 8th. And, of course, that means the Lakers tied to any available player on the market, because that's how this works. But while before the chatter was built mostly around Atlanta guard Dejounte Murray, the Lakers now have to fill a massive hole left by the injury to Jarred Vanderbilt. The Lakers now have a gaping hole to fill, in addition to any improvements they want to make in the backcourt, or anywhere else. And the stuff they have available doesn't change. It's one pick, it's D'Angelo Russell, it's (maybe) Rui Hachimura and an injured Gabe Vincent, plus whatever appeal guys like Max Christie and Jalen Hood-Schifino might have. So which holes do they try to fill? Do they keep more assets for this summer, roll the dice on this year and hope for the best? It's not an easy time to be Rob Pelinka.

Re-Grading The Los Angeles Chargers 2022 Draft Class: Was Zion Johnson The Right Pick?: The Chargers got major contributions from many of their rookies in 2022, and some of their selections look like absolute steals. Dan and David re-grade every pick from last year's draft class with Zion Johnson and Jamaree Salyer still looking great in retrospect. Salyer and fellow Day 3 pick Ja'Sir Taylor were both playing meaningful by the end of the season and look like insane value. The hardest players to re-grade after year one were Isaiah Spiller and JT Woods with such a small sample size. It would be very difficult to give them great grades after underwhelming results, but it's too soon to say if they can make a leap in year 2. Both of the Chargers 7th round picks from last year Deane Leonard and Zander Horvath even found ways to make contributions, but it's unclear what their role will be in 2023.
