The Lakers Will Open The Season Against the Warriors, then the Clippers. (Guest: Trevor Lane): It's Part 1 of a two-part show with Trevor Lane of LakersNation.com! We start with the weekend's news - that the Lakers will open with a pair of very tough games, October 18 against the Warriors in San Francisco to open the NBA season, then October 20 at the Crypt vs. the Clippers. For a team that needs to get off to a good start, that's a tough early slate. So is that good for them? Bad? What happens if they win? How much angst if they're blown out? Do the Lakers, who had a soft schedule early last year and struggled against it, benefit from a tougher early season slate? How good are the Lakers, right now? ESPN projected them at 42 wins. Fair? Unfair? How many things have to go right for the Lakers to get to their ceiling? How many of those things are likely? What does Trevor feel like they did well this offseason? What are the strengths, what are the places that are going to be more problem by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Talen Horton-Tucker Drops 40, and Laker Fans Are Making a Bad Comparison between LeBron and Kobe.: LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Russell Westbrook and Carmelo Anthony all sat out of the Lakers' loss to the Warriors up in San Francisco,. So how are fans reacting to the stars sitting out? Some, at least, are bringing up comparisons to Kobe Bryant, and suggesting that LeBron is sitting at a time when Kobe would have played. Meanwhile, Talen Horton-Tucker went off for a career high 40 points against Golden State. On the one hand, that's awesome! 40 is a lot, and good for him. It certainly can't hurt to do a little image rehab in a season that has, overall, been a real disappointment for THT. But do nights like this one actually add any clarity to his future? As trade bait, or in a (hopefully) revamped Lakers rotation? Finally, if the Lakers are going to fix what ails them, it will need to start with everyone understanding their role in how the franchise has arrived at this point.

LeBron James Misses Wednesday's Loss to Philly, Lakers Still Feeling Good About Themselves: Following Monday's incredible performance in the team's win over Cleveland, LeBron James's problematic knee swelled up like a balloon, and he missed Wednesday's game against the Sixers at The Crypt. Anthony Davis is still out with an ankle injury. Talen Horton-Tucker, too. And the Lakers lost! So why are they feeling so good about themselves? It's a small sample size, for sure, but the Lakers can honestly say, backed up by the tape, that they've played significantly better over their last four games. That includes Wednesday's Very Scrappy Effort against a high end Philadelphia team. Assuming they can get into the play-in—and in that spirit the Lakers are clearly putting a lot of emphasis on Sunday's game against the Pelicans—it's clear they're developing a level of confidence that has been hard to find all year. Is it deserved? Maybe, maybe not. But that's not the relevant question, really. One by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Locked On Lakers-Locked On Nets Crossover: Comparing and Contrasting Franchise Drama!: (Note: This episode was recorded before the Nets announced their suspension of Kyrie Irving.) The Lakers and Nets have made some of the NBA's biggest, splashiest and most impactful moves over the last few seasons. But while both teams have made headlines (and more headlines, and more after that) neither franchise has actually done much winning. The Lakers have disintegrated in the standings, and the Nets have become the type of non-stop chain of fires that can't seem to be controlled. The last week, with Kyrie Irving being embroiled in controversy completely of his own making, being the latest example. So what exactly has gone wrong with these two high profile franchises? What similarities and differences are there? Can either team reasonably be expected to turn things around this season? And what, exactly, should the Nets do with Irving, and are the Lakers part of that answer? These questions and mo by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Kings-Lakers Preview: A Must-Win Game To Avoid Play-In. Plus Gabe Vincent Back in March?: The Lakers may not have been playing truly inspired basketball, the kind that gets fans and media fired up and primed for the postseason, but they have, save that putrid stretch following the In-Season Tournament, won more than they've lost. Now, coming off a very impressive home win over the conference-leading Oklahoma City Thunder, the Lakers face another test against a playoff-caliber team. But this time, the Sacramento Kings come in weaker than LA, having been in a weeks long semi-slump that has dropped them into the back half of the playoff bracket, only 1.5 games ahead of the Lakers. This is a big opportunity for the Lakers to gain ground on a vulnerable squad, and give themselves a shot to hold the tiebreaker over the Kings, which could obviously come in handy by the end of the year. Lose, and that goes out the window (Sacramento won the first two games of the season series, with both g by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Can the Lakers Build a Culture That"s More Than Just "Superstars?" Guest: Kevin Arnovitz: Heading into this season, the Lakers, with a superteam headed by LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, were considered among the favorites to win a championship. But like the equally star-laden Nets and Clippers, now find themselves with questions to ponder after a massively disappointing season. Around the league, is chasing stars at all cost emerging as a faulty approach? Joining today's show is ESPN's Kevin Arnovitz, one of the smartest basketball writers out there, who introduced the idea in a column a couple weeks ago. One major problem he identifies is culture and chemistry, and the challenges sustaining either in situations where stars come from the outside and don't have any proverbial skin in the game. The Lakers certainly had problems with both this season. Do they need to create some sense of culture that reaches past "Superstars!"

How the Lakers Got So Bad So Quickly: Examining the Westbrook Deal, and Other Moves By Rob Pelinka - Guest, Eric Pincus: The Lakers' 2021-22 season has been an absolute disaster. Some reasons are beyond anybody's control... but many issues could have been avoided through better decisions. And while fans will - not without reason - point to the Russell Westbrook trade as the flashpoint for where everything that's fallen apart, it hasn't been the only bad call over the last few years. Poor decisions, major and minor, have helped what looked like a strong franchise fall apart in a hurry. So how did this happen? The Kamenetzkys spoke with Bleacher Report scribe and NBA cap expert Eric Pincus. He breaks down the personnel choices that went wrong, accounting mistakes they've made with contracts like Talen Horton-Tucker and Austin Reaves, squandered assets and draft picks and more. What is going on in the front office that promotes these kinds of mistakes? Is the decision-making infrastructur by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Remembering Kobe and the Lakers vs. Celtics Rivalry. (Plus, the Preseason Schedule is Released!): It's been a tough year for Lakers fans, no question, and for many seeing the Boston Celtics in the NBA Finals only makes things worse. For many, the LeBron James/Anthony Davis Era was supposed to be the thing that helped the Lakers equal, or even pass, the C's in race for most titles in league history. Instead, this year Boston can widen the lead, again. Moreover, they have an easier path to success going forward. On a brighter note, the return of Boston to the Finals brings back memories of the last two Lakers/Celtics Finals series. The crushing defeat in 2008, and the incredible redemption of 2010, and a Game 7 that was monumentally impactful for the legacy of Kobe Bryant. It's hard to imagine a more significant pivot point, which is why that series broadly and that game specifically remain so compelling. First, though, the Lakers released their preseason schedule.

What does Darvin Ham Need to Prove as a Coach Next Season? Have Lakers Fans Bought Into Him?: Tuesday's show was all about the sea change in strategy for the Lakers when it comes to roster building. Where once it was all about cap space above all - meaning no long term contracts for anyone but the biggest stars - now the Lakers have a bunch of multi-year deals for non-elite players. This, by the way, is a good thing, promoting continuity, and actually providing more flexibility for the front office than simply being locked into that "clean sheet" strategy. But why did they shift? That was a question left on the Locked On Lakers YouTube page. Was it the opportunity presented by a team that advanced to the Western Conference Finals after playing together for only a few weeks? Was it a reaction to a shift in the league towards continuity and depth? Was it the lack of any realistic way to add a big name star? Could be some of each, but this year now becomes a bit of a referendum on the shi by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
