What do Lakers Fans Want in the NBA Finals? (and Did the 2019 Raptors Give the Lakers a Blueprint for Anthony Davis?)

Mailbag! Lakers trades, Free Agency, LeBron's role and more. Plus, Adam Silver Speaks!: The Kamenetzky Brothers often take listener questions during a show, whether solicited over Twitter (@kambrothers) or email (kamenetzkybrothers@gmail.com). But every now and then, they go into full-on mailbag mode! Like today! First, however, they addressed NBA Commissioner Adam Silver's press conference before kicking off the NBA Finals, which were fairly frank about how crummy this past year was for the players, whether physically or mentally, in ways that may not be fully understood until a few years from now. On the flip side, the league's coffers are getting closer to whole, which was the reason everyone endured this in the first place. What to make of it all? From there, MAILBAG!!! The Kamenetzkys took a slew of questions from loyal listeners like @visiontoKAT, @LakersInMyBlood, Jim Joes, @CNTNation, @m1kk0_ and @donfurleone, hitting a wide range of topics about the Lakers... and beyond.

No LeBron James, No Anthony Davis, No Win for the Lakers vs. Toronto Raptors: The Lakers were missing LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Patrick Beverley and Wenyen Gabriel Wednesday in Toronto. Juan Toscano-Anderson, who started the game after barely hitting the court for most of the season, turned an ankle. So it's no surprise the Lakers found themselves down by 20 (give or take) relatively quickly, and for most of the game before ultimately losing by 13, 126-113. They didn't do anything wrong, really, and there were again some highlights (16 points for Thomas Bryant on only five FGAs, for example), but in the end, what happened was exactly what most people would have expected. So the Lakers are again four games under .500, looking at a gimpy LeBron, an under-the-weather A.D., an already-out Gabriel... is there a risk of losing the momentum they built up after winning eight of ten? Is there extra pressure to push through, trying to capitalize on the positive momentum they created, and got by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

LeBron Says He Wants to Retire (many years from now) as a Laker! Plus, the Lakers' Draft Needs.: As part of his Space Jam promotional tour, LeBron James appeared on the "Smartless" podcast with Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, and among many subjects, touched on his basketball future. In a nutshell, he wants to play another several years, and all of them in a Laker uniform. What's crazy is how absolutely sane the notion of him playing well into his forties feels. LeBron also talked about his future in Hollywood, and what he could have in common with Denzel Washington, Liam Neeson and The Rock. From there, the Kamenetzkys break down what type of player the Lakers should target with the 22nd pick, assuming they keep it. Should they target a high ceiling, or a high floor? What skills should they covet? Is it even possible to find a multifaceted player late in the first round?

Who Will Be In the Starting Lineup for the Lakers? The Closing Lineup? The Stuff In Between?: With the Lakers' roster now more or less settled and some clarity starting to emerge, it's time to open up the Locked On Lakers mailbag, which can be utilized via twitter (@kambrothers), email (kamenetzkybrothers@gmail.com) or the iTunes show page. There were a lot of questions about the best lineup combinations for Frank Vogel at the start or end of games. How much does Anthony Davis' well-known reluctance to play large minutes at center complicate the opening five? Who are the Lakers' best options for a defensive lineup to close contests? How many legit options does Vogel have to choose from? How deep can the rotation go? There were also queries about the value of continuity (the Lakers won't have much, given the extreme roster turnover) and whether the Lakers qualify as a proverbial "Super Team."

Can the Lakers Get Value in a Russell Westbrook Deal? (Guest: Jovan Buha, Part II): In Part I of our conversation with Jovan Buha of The Athletic, we covered the LeBron James and Anthony Davis core, how viable it is, and what the Lakers might do to improve the supporting cast around them this summer. Central to that is the future of Russell Westbrook. Part II starts there. First and foremost, Jovan doesn't think the Lakers can bring Westbrook back, at least in a basketball playing capacity. If he's on the roster, the Lakers pay him to stay away. So that leaves a trade. What is realistic? Could the Lakers get Indiana to trade Malcolm Brogdon and Buddy Hield to LA? Would that cost them both of their available first round picks? Would that be worth it? What about the head coach? Whatever identity the team forges moving forward will come, at least in part, from the influence of the guy on the sidelines. Could the Lakers land a big fish like Nick Nurse?

The "Russell Westbrook Experience" - How It Impacts LeBron James, Anthony Davis and the Lakers: So 11 games in, Lakers fans (and Lakers coaches, Lakers players and Lakers management) are learning a lot about what it means to be a team featuring Russell Westbrook. The extremes are striking, particularly now while he's not playing particularly well in the aggregate. Is it something people were totally prepared for? How is it impacting the way the Lakers play? And perhaps most importantly, when it's all said and done, how does Westbrook's presence impact the effectiveness of LeBron James and Anthony Davis as a pairing? Because for the last two seasons, there has been an assumption that the combination of Davis and James, if healthy and playing at their top level, automatically makes the Lakers strong title contenders, almost independent of what surrounds them. Given LeBron's new struggles with health, is that still true? And critically, does the addition of Westbrook enhance that partner by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Grading the Lakers' Offseason: Was Westbrook the Right Move? Guest, SI's Michael Pina: The Lakers took a massive swing this offseason, reconstructing what was already considered a championship roster around a trade for Russell Westbrook, adding to LeBron James and Anthony Davis and giving the Lakers a genuine Big Three. As has been discussed, the move comes with great potential benefits, but also plenty of potential problems. Nobody believes the Lakers won't be good - excellent if everyone is healthy - but was the Westbrook move really the best solution to last year's problems? Michael Pina, the outstanding NBA writer for Sports Illustrated, doesn't think so. In his evaluation of the Lakers' offseason, he expressed real concerns about the fit, and wondered whether the Lakers might have better off with something more simple (the potential Buddy Hield deal, for example). And if you don't like the Westbrook deal, it's hard to love everything that came after, even if the Lakers spent what by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Westbrook For 6th Man of the Year? Could LeBron Enter the MVP Race? Plus, Lakers Trade Targets!: Our friends at Betonline have put out a fresh set of odds for postseason awards, as teams near the halfway point of the NBA season (it's coming quickly, folks). What's interesting about the Lakers in this area is, primarily, that so few Lakers are even mentioned. Guys like Anthony Davis, who had briefly put themselves on the board for MVP and Defensive Player of the Year, are now off it. Only Russell Westbrook remains, and not only is he a betting favorite for Sixth Man of the Year, he's the betting favorite. Should he be? It's certainly a strange year for 6MOY, without a ton of obvious candidates on really strong teams. And certainly Westbrook has made a good pitch, and has a compelling narrative (and we can tell you, narrative is a huge factor in media-driven awards). But would someone like Jordan Poole (Golden State) or Malcolm Brogdon (Boston) be more worthy? Will the same media priming by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Is It a Given The Lakers Should Offer LeBron James a Contract Extension? Plus, more on Westbrook's Take on Media/Fans: Nothing is easy about this season for the Lakers, and nothing will be easy about this offseason for them, either. Tons of huge decisions to be made. Now, that includes the future of LeBron James. Not just from the POV of what James wants, but also whether the Lakers would be wise to commit to a core comprised of James and Anthony Davis, since now neither guy can be considered reliable from a health/availability standpoint. Then again, what exactly are the alternatives? Trading James? Trading James and AD? Letting LeBron walk? The team is in a tight spot, because doing better than that core will be hard, but it's reasonable to ask now if that core is enough to win more titles without a stronger supporting cast... something the Lakers don't have much ability to build.

Thursday in El Segundo, Frank Vogel was honest about how high the Lakers could reasonably rise in the standings, and focused more on the level of play. Whatever their peak is, can it be reached by playoff time? And speaking of the playoffs, is there a real chance of advancing to the 8 spot? To the 7 seed? How real is the danger of dropping out of the top 10, entirely? The answer is in the schedule, because the Lakers will spend the next month facing teams they're chasing (like the Clippers, for example) and teams chasing them (New Orleans and San Antonio, to name two). Additionally, they play a lot on road, where they've ... not done well. So a lot of scenarios are still live! Fun!

The Lakers Add David Fizdale to Frank Vogel's Staff, LeBron Exits Olympic Hoops: There was a great deal of speculation around how the Lakers would go about filling Jason Kidd's spot on Frank Vogel's coaching staff. Would it be an offense-first mind? A former head coach? A F.O.L. (Friend of LeBron)? Well, LA got a little bit from each of those categories, hiring former Heat assistant/Grizzlies/Knicks head coach David Fizdale. What does it mean for the staff? Is he a good fit? Meanwhile, LeBron James is done with Olympic basketball, says USA Basketball director Jerry Colangelo. No real surprise there, given his age and mileage, but still kind of amazing it could even be a possibility. Lakers fans are probably happy about it (and that Anthony Davis is sitting Tokyo out, too). Do fans of contending teams even want their stars in the Olympics, anymore?

LeBron Reportedly Likes Mark Jackson as a New Coach. Would the Lakers Hire him?: As we all settle into the Lakers' offseason, big questions - and there are many - rumors and reports are already circulating about the direction the team might go in replacing Frank Vogel. One nugget reported by Sam Amick at The Athletic? LeBron James would be interested in the Lakers hiring former Warriors/current ESPN broadcaster Mark Jackson. Now, this is highly unikely (Jackson was a rumored candidate after the Lakers canned Luke Walton, and even when the Cavs fired David Blatt), but the concept raises interesting questions about how the Lakers need to approach the coaching search. Because while Jackson is hardly the perfect candidate, that guy doesn't exist. It's very unlikely the Lakers will have access to the creme de la creme of uber-elite coaching options.

Is it LeBron James/Rich Paul, who have clashed with Jackson before? Rob Pelinka? Agents? Other players? Why is it problematic that the Lakers seem to have so many important voices who aren't on the payroll? And oh, by the way, Jackson is reportedly a big Russell Westbrook fan. Might his involvement increase the chances Westbrook returns? Because Lakers fans should understand there's a very real possibility Westbrook could return next season.

In this case, seeing Dennis Schroder and Thomas Bryant in the lineup, both of whom ought to be back on Friday vs. Detroit. Is that enough for the team to compete?

Is It Possible LeBron James Wouldn't Sign an Extension With the Lakers?: LeBron James has spent a great deal of his time in Los Angeles fighting significant injuries. He's been told to stay off that bad ankle this spring/summer for at least a month, probably more. So with all that in mind, and his advancing age and tremendous NBA mileage, it's at least worth contemplating the risks of offering him a $90-plus million extension this summer. But this week, Sam Amick of The Athletic wrote an interesting story that asks the other side of the same question: Would LeBron automatically accept an offer from the Lakers (as everyone assumes the organization will do)? What are the reasons LeBron might turn them down? What might have changed about his perception of the franchise? Is it really any different now than it was when he signed with them originally?
