NBA GM Poll Reflects Anthony Davis's Reputation Dropping Around the NBA. (LeBron Still Respected!): Every year, NBA.com produces the GM poll, asking execs around the league all sorts of questions about players, teams, coaches and beyond. In most years, the Lakers and Lakers players are well represented, given their high profile, high expectations, star power and so on. This year, however, when it comes to the Lakers the results are notable mostly because the Lakers are an afterthought. LeBron James pops up in a couple of categories, Darvin Ham in another. The Lakers are expected to finish around 8th in the conference, which makes sense and certainly isn't unfair. Most notable, though, is the near-total absence of Anthony Davis, who doesn't get mentioned among the best defensive players, centers, power forwards, MVP candidates and so on and so on and so on. One place he does pop up? Breakout candidate, a place usually reserved for much younger players. In total, it shows the massive rep by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron James Hypes up Anthony Davis. What's the Endgame? Plus, the Warriors Are Champs Again!: It's been a big week on social media for the Lakers, and LeBron James capped things off with a mixtape hyping up Anthony Davis, It included some high end highlights, and a message. "Get It Twisted if you want too! I'm due time he'll remind you once again why he's HIM!!! And I can't wait for it to be unleashed! ???〰️" So was he trying to motivate Davis? Rehabilitate him in the minds of Lakers fans? Make himself feel a little better about what Davis might bring this year? Yes, likely, to all of them. But it could very well be the start of a trend. Killing Davis with kindness, and setting a high bar for him to hit once training camp and next season rolls around. That's the Davis the Lakers will need to get anywhere. Meanwhile, the Golden State Warriors did the Lakers a favor, and kept the Boston Celtics from winning an 18th title.

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.

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?

Are LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook Ready for the Regular Season?: The Lakers' preseason is officially in the books after a 116-112 loss to the Sacramento Kings, the sixth loss in as many tries before the real games begin. (ALL HAIL 0-6!!!) But that last go-around wasn't entirely negative. To begin, this was arguably the best individual game each for LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, and without question their best as a trio. For that matter, DeAndre Jordan (in by far his best showing as a Laker), Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, and Austin Reaves all enjoyed some nice moments. On balance, it was the best the Lakers have looked, period. That said, as one might expect after a loss, it also wasn't all peaches and cream, especially on the defensive end, where the Lakers remain somewhere between "inconsistent" and "a flat out mess." Plus, the health of several important players is still unknown, and the already low continuity from last year has been exacer by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Kyle Kuzma, Talen Horton-Tucker, the 22nd pick and... ??? Assessing the Lakers' trade chips: Silly season is here! On Tuesday, NBA Twitter was made crazy by a fairly implausible trade rumor generated by a fake version of a somewhat shaky aggregator site. BUT WHO CARES! This stuff is fun! So after debating whether Kemba Walker (the subject of the aforementioned fake rumor) is a good fit for the Lakers, we break down what the Lakers have to offer in trades. And, using the guys on the block for the Indiana Pacers as a stable metric, try to figure out what caliber player those assets might attract. How much can Lakers fans really expect in the trade market this offseason? What factors will be critical in determining whether a trade could be made, even beyond the typical salary stuff? After, Game 1 of the NBA Finals, the Suns have a 1-0 lead. What went right for Phoenix? What can the Bucks feel good about? And what did Game 1 drive home about stuff the Lakers were missing this season? HOS by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Crossover: Christmas Day Hoops, Lakers vs. Clippers in '23-'24 and Kobe Bryant Memories (Guest, Darian Vaziri): The NBA released its Christmas Day slate, and no surprise, the Lakers (who are also featured on opening night against the Nuggets) are right in the center of it. A marquee time slot hosting the Boston Celtics. The NBA went for tradition in a year where both teams are expected to compete for a title. Nice. Not featured? Arguably the most challenging team in the Western Conference, and perhaps the entire league, to predict, the Los Angeles Clippers. Why? Let's break that, and more, down with Darian Vaziri, the host of Locked On Clippers and the DimeDropper Podcast. Where have the Clippers gone wrong? Is it just injuries? If they stay healthy, where do they stack up against the rest of the conference? Against the rest of the league? And what about that massive win streak the LAC have against the Lakers?

Lakers vs. Celtics Preview: Can Anthony Davis and LeBron Slow Down Tatum and Brown?: Lakers vs. Celtics! It always means something, even when the teams aren't competing for titles against each other. And Tuesday's edition at the Crypt is poised to be a fascinating game for L.A., especially. They've shown signs of life, but have a lot of ground to make up to get back to .500, and challenge for a playoff spot. After beating Milwaukee on the road trip - the East's second best team - can they beat the NBA's best? It's a big measuring stick game, as well as an important one in the standings as the Lakers make their way through a brutal December schedule. To break it all down, we welcome the great John Karalis, host of Locked On Celtics! We start by looking at the rivalry itself. What does it mean to today's players, especially these Celtics? Does this game mean a little more, even to a younger generation of players who haven't played a Finals vs. LA? Meanwhile, why have the Celtics been so by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Kyrie Irving-Lakers Trade Scenarios Could Include Seth Curry, Joe Harris. Plus, Cryptic Jeanie Buss Tweets!: The momentum behind a potential trade of Kyrie Irving to the Lakers didn't abate over the weekend. In fact, things seemed to gain a little clarity. Both teams are playing the leverage game, but broadly it appears the Lakers are the only team in the market for Kyrie. That makes the dance a little more delicate, but also would appear to make the result more inevitable. Do the Lakers give up multiple picks? What other names might be involved? Reportedly, the Nets would like the Lakers to take small forward Joe Harris off their hands. The Lakers prefer guard Seth Curry. Both guys shoot the lights out, but Curry makes less money and is on an expiring contract. But is it worth getting hung up on that sort of thing? If the Lakers can fill out the roster, holding on to as much human talent as they can and bringing back multiple players, does that give them a much more legitimate shot at by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Seriously... Is Anthony Davis playing more Center? Plus, ESPN's Experts on the Lakers and LeBron!: "Anthony Davis at center" has been perhaps the biggest talking point for the Lakers over the last two seasons. Despite the way AD thrives in the middle, and the way the team follows suit with him at 5, he has famously preferred to spend the majority of his minutes at power forward. However, there have been signs an increased willingness to put his preferences aside for the bigger picture, the most recent coming via report from The Athletic's Bill Oram. What would it mean for the Lakers if this really is the case next season? In the meantime, you know the season is close, because ESPN cranking out expert panel polls around 2021-22 season predictions. Inevitably, the Lakers and various members of the team popped up, with high showings in categories as wide-ranging as "Team Turnaround," "Team Turmoil," and "Most Likely to win the West." On the surface, these results may feel incongruent. by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
