NBA Trade Deadline Day: Why the Lakers Did Nothing, What Comes Next, and Reviewing the Big Trades: It was always the most likely outcome, based on the assets they had to offer teams around the league, that the Lakers would ultimately do little-to-nothing on Thursday's NBA Trade Deadline day. And that's what happened. While blockbusters abounded around the Association, the Lakers were silent. Not even a minor move to clear a roster spot. Why? What does it say about the state of the team and the franchise that a decent trade to help improve a flailing squad was unattainable? What does it mean for the rest of this season, and then the offseason? What about the buyout market? Is there any chance the Lakers can make a real improvement when veterans start hitting the free agent market after their contracts are bought out? Maybe, but don't hold your breath. 1, buyout guys generally don't have much impact regardless of what team they join. 2, this crop of available players could be pretty thin by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers' Four Options for Trades and Fixing The Roster. Plus, LeBron Posts A Cryptic Tweet!: The Lakers finish out the year with (stop us if you've heard this before) basically a must-win home game against a lousy Charlotte team tonight, then a very winnable road trip against Dallas (a .500 team), Orlando (a bad team), Miami (a .500 team), Atlanta (a .500 team) and Charlotte (as noted, lousy). Are they gonna sweep? Get swept? Split? No idea, but as far as NBA road trips go, this is about as favorable as they come. And the Lakers are getting a bit of good news, too. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook are expected to play tonight, and Austin Reaves has been upgraded to questionable. Maybe that means he needs another game, but it signals availability on Christmas, and through the road trip. And how the team fares will have a significant impact on its attitude about trades. Here, they have basically four options: Do something on the margins this year, maybe for an expendable contract by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Free Agency Preview: Finding fits for the 49ers from a deep DB class: On this week’s episode of the Better Rivals podcast, it’s time to kick off our free agency primers with a look at DB options in this year’s class. What type of players do we expect the 49ers to target? Will we see the team look to add multiple players at CB? And while there are a number of talented safeties set to hit the open market, do any of them make sense for San Francisco? All that, plus lessons from Shaq Barrett, the glut of available slot CBs, and surviving the Texas Hunger Games. by Better Rivals: A San Francisco 49ers Podcast

Should the Lakers Trade Russell Westbrook (and stuff)for Rudy Gobert? Plus, LeBron James as NBA Owner?: On Thursday's show, it was time to review some of the street free agents the Lakers have brought into the building to get a look, and see if they'd be a fit somewhere on the roster for next season. Friday, it's a deeper look into the challenge of improving the team via free agency. Jovan Buha at The Athletic has a list of potential free agents, along with needs. But how many of the players who could make an impact would actually be available? Is it more important to find a player at a different position, or retain Malik Monk? And how about this for a hypothetical: Russell Westbrook (and likely some stuff) for Utah's Rudy Gobert, who has been the subject of trade rumors this week. Likely Utah feels they could do better (can't blame them) but are there any reasons the Lakers, or Lakers fans, would hesitate to add The Stifle Tower, who has DPOY potential on a yearly basis, but also has by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Lakers 2023 NBA Draft Preview: Who Should L.A. Target With the 17th Pick?: It's been a minute since the Lakers had, and kept, a first round pick. But at least right now, signs point to the team holding on to the 17th pick in this year's NBA Draft, coming in a couple of weeks. So with that in mind, it's time to bring in the experts to help Lakers fans get ready. We spoke with Rafael Barlowe, host of Locked On NBA Big Board, and the NBA Big Board newsletter to get some insight into this year's class, and where the Lakers might find good value. We started with an overview of the depth of the class. Everyone knows about Wembanyama and Henderson at the top of the lottery, but those guys don't matter much to the Lakers. How much depth is there? Are quality rotation players going to be available at 17? What about the second round, where the Lakers have done really well in their talent evaluation? From there, Barlowe broke down different names that could be had when it's time for the Lakers to by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

What's the Best Offseason Plan for Rob Pelinka and the Lakers? Guest: Howard Beck!: It didn't exactly end well, but according to longtime NBA reporter/writer/podcaster Howard Beck (known in these parts as "The Great" Howard Beck), it's hard to call this season anything but a success for the Lakers. Especially, he says, when you consider where things started at the beginning of the year, and where they finished. Yes, as things improved Lakers fans got greedy - it's what fans do - and the team had a legitimate chance to reach the Finals. But from 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals, with a clear blueprint to keep the team competitive next season and beyond, it's hard to get too riled up. Of course, this assumes the Lakers stay the course? We ask Beck what he thinks is the best course of action. Is Kyrie Irving really in play? Would he make sense for the Lakers? What about D'Angelo Russell? Will his market value be in that $25 million per year range he reportedly hoped to get from Minne by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
