Darvin Ham Says Russell Westbrook Will Start, Anthony Davis Is the Key, and Much, Much More: Darvin Ham is bringing a much different energy to El Segundo this season, and anyone who wants a good understanding of what it means should read the Q/A done by ESPN's Marc Spears. In it, Ham talks about his upbringing, the grind required to make the league, and then to stay there. And then to put himself on the path to being an NBA head coach, which required a long stint in the G-League. He talks about Russell Westbrook, and his expectations for him this season, which include starting (which will, surely, disappoint Lakers fans hoping to see Westbrook come off the bench). Ham talked about Anthony Davis as the key to making the Lakers go, and that the team will support him in every way possible to make it happen. And he talked about the experience he had working with Milwaukee head coach Mike Budenholzer, calling the work he does the gold standard around the league. Put it all together, and his by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers Defeat the Spurs, Huge Nights From Russell Westbrook, Anthony Davis. Guest: Mo Dakhil: No LeBron James, no problem? Well, that would be the hyperbolic retelling of the Lakers' 125-121 OT win over the Spurs. James, who's nursing a sore ankle from a collision during Sunday's game against the Spurs, was definitely missed during the overtime victory, which to put it kindly, wasn't always pretty. But for a team still figuring itself out and missing a large chunk of the roster, beggars can't be choosers. You take what you can get. Plus, there were huge positives, mostly notably the performances from Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, who put the "super" and "star" in "superstar." Arguably AD's best game this season (35/17/4/4 blocks) and absolutely the high water mark from Westbrook (33/10/8/3 steals, only three turnovers), it was a reminder of why elite talent matters, as well as a promising sign of how Russ can fit in with his new team. So how did this win happen, and what d by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Darvin Ham and LeBron James Agree, Anthony Davis Should be the Focal Point on Offense: The Lakers braintrust met recently and covered a lot of ground, according to Chris Haynes of Yahoo! Sports. Interestingly enough, a contract extension for LeBron James wasn't really the frontburner item. Instead, Rob Pelinka, Darvin Ham and James tried to lay out a vision for the season, and gain a common understanding of what's coming. And there was a lot discussed over an hour or so. Anthony Davis is going to be the focal point of the offense. Things will run through him, everyone agrees. So what does that mean? How will that impact LeBron's ability not just to stay healthy, but give a little more to the defensive side of things than he did last year? Haynes reports that Pelinka plans to be patient with the roster, and everyone agreed to see how things shake out before making any big moves. That's code for "Russell Westbrook is going to be here."

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

On Harden, D'Antoni, and their playoff legacies: MVP frontrunner James Harden and reigning NBA Coach of the Year Mike D'Antoni each have their share of skeptics on playoff performance, but is it warranted? In our Monday show, Ben explains why many of the "choking" narratives are overblown and why context and nuance is important in analyzing the two men and their postseason histories. The Rockets (64-16) are locked into the league's best record and home-court advantage throughout the NBA playoffs, and in the history of Harden's five prior seasons in Houston, they've yet to lose a playoff series to a team with a worse regular-season record. Should that trend continue, the Rockets would win the NBA title this season, since there are no teams with tied or better records. Will it continue? We'll have to wait and see, but for now, tune into hear how many of the national narratives are misguided and why there's more reason to believe in both men than you might think. #Rockets #NBA Learn more by Locked On Rockets - Daily Podcast On The Houston Rockets

D'Angelo Russell Is the X-Factor for the Lakers. Plus, is this Darvin Ham's Permanent Rotation?: One reason the Lakers have managed to play more competitively over the last few games, including wins in four of six, is the improved play of D'Angelo Russell, who looks a lot more like the guy who was the Lakers best player not named Anthony or LeBron for the first month of the season. Russell's 29 points against Dallas on Wednesday was a reminder that whether you see him as the team's third best player, fourth best, or maybe even something after that, he's got certain skills that aren't easily replicated around the roster. He's the most likely player outside the stars to pop off for 30 points, for example. He's also the best non-LeBron organizer and facilitator on the squad. His point guard skills aren't replicated by Austin Reaves, for examples. So when he plays well, the Lakers look like a different team. When he plays well AND LeBron and AD are on?

Darvin Ham: The Lakers Have Championship Level Depth... Is He Correct?: The schedule was released on Thursday... but we recorded this before that happened, so all the big post-schedule-drop-hoodoo will come on Monday. In the meantime, Darvin Ham says the Lakers have championship caliber depth. Is he right? And more importantly, what exactly does that mean? The answer, particularly the focus on depth, is an interesting change for the Lakers compared to different points in their history. There certainly have been times where depth was measured in the number and quality of stars, rather than viable rotation players going down seven or eight or nine or ten roster spots. This Lakers team has two bonafide stars. Top 5-10 guys around the league (and better, depending on the day). But they also have Austin Reaves, D'Angelo Russell, Rui Hachimura -- three high end members of the NBA non-star class. They've got Taurean Prince and Jarred Vanderbilt, along with Gabe Vincent,, and some young player by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Free Agency Begins: How Will The Lakers Fill Out the Team Around LeBron, Davis and Westbrook?: Everyone's had the weekend to think things over, and the Russell Westbrook trade has only grown more interesting.. The process of moving forward, filling out the team around the new Big Three of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Westbrook begins today as free agency opens. Where do the Lakers get the rest of their pieces? Who are the most likely candidates to join the the purple and gold to chase a title? Certain players - Carmelo Anthony, for example - feel almost inevitable and would make some sense, but the competition for talent around the league will be fierce. The Lakers aren't the only squad that can offer an opportunity to go win a ring. So what happens at 3:01 pm PT, when the derby officially begins? Is DeMar DeRozan really an option, given the haircut he'd have to take? What about Rudy Gay, or some lesser-but-critical names? Could Otto Porter be had for the taxpayer midlevel?

Lakers lose to Nets, LeBron James Has a Foot Issue, Fans are Losing Patience.: The Lakers are faced with a genuine Catch-22. They may not be able to make the playoffs without pushing Anthony Davis and LeBron James past safe limits of physical output, but if the org pushes them past those limits either or both are likely to get hurt, in which case they'll miss the playoffs. This was the issue facing the Lakers Monday in Brooklyn, where both James and Davis sat the front end of a back-to-back following Saturday's epic OT loss to Boston. The hope was that maintenance was the driving force behind keeping both in street clothes, and in the case of Davis it probably was. But Monday we learned that LeBron is battling a foot problem that put a fresh spin on his absence. And Lakers coach Darvin Ham wouldn't say if James will play tonight against the Knicks at the Garden. He said they didn't want to get ahead of themselves.

Los Angeles Lakers make a move and seemed primed for another. Culture Concerns. Who is Ochai Agbaji?: This weekend the Los Angeles Lakers added another guard to their lineup with the signing of Dennis Schroeder and it would seem to be priming them for the eventual Russell Westbrook deal. Does it happen this week with the opening of training camp a week away? Everything still points to the Lakers needing to make this move, but will they give up enough? Jazz fans are expressing a lot of concern about the impact on the team's culture if they aren't winning games and the lasting impact of that. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, looks at this and isn't too concerned because of Will Hardy's desires and the real key is who is the lead player when they arrive. Friday Jazz fans answered who they were most excited to see and the answer was Ocahi Agbaji. We do a deeper dive on Agbaji and why he seems destined for NBA success.

Lakers Media Day Reaction: Westbrook Not Guaranteed Starting Role, LeBron Focuses on Availability: There were, literally, dozens of questions asked and answered on Media Day for the Lakers Monday, but not surprisingly, it was the questions asked to, and asked about, guard Russell Westbrook that dominated the headlines. First, Darvin Ham made it abundantly clear that no starting role will be promised, or even assumed, for Westbrook. They have a lot of time to figure out what they're going to do, and a lot of guards to figure out how to do it with. Westbrook, Ham indicated, is just one of those options. It was a message delivered with praise, for sure (Ham continued talking about how great Westbrook has been this offseason) but delivered, nonetheless. Meanwhile, Westbrook echoed many of the comments published over the weekend by ESPN. Does he feel wanted by the org? "Doesn't matter." His job, Westbrook said, is to go be a pro and play hard, filling whatever role he's asked. And you know by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
