Description

As it turns out, Chris Paul isn't the only future Hall of Fame point guard at the tail end of his career that's now linked to the Lakers. Marc Spears of ESPN/The Undefeated has reported discussions between the Lakers and Wizards about a blockbuster that would send Russell Westbrook to L.A. in a complicated scenario involving signed-and-traded(s) Dennis Schröder/Talen Horton-Tucker, Kyle Kuzma... and very little logic on either side. Westbrook remains a great player, but he makes zero sense for the Lakers. At all. (Frankly, Washington's end of the deal is weird for them.) Never say never, but with all sincere respect to Russ, this feels like an insane long shot.The Lakers extended a qualifying offer to Horton-Tucker, which was completely expected. And speaking of THT, the Kamenetzkys take a question Conor 511 left on the podcast show page. (You can also hit them up on Twitter, @kambrothers, or via email, kamenetzkybrothers@gmail.com.) The Cavaliers are reportedly shopping their young and very talented guard Colin Sexton, who's already proven himself a 20+ppg scorer. Were this a possibility, should the Lakers trade Horton-Tucker for Sexton?Finally, LeBron James has reportedly accumulated a net worth of one billion dollars. (Just like the Kamenetzkys, although theirs is combined, not individual.) He may be the first of his NBA generation to reach this peak, but won't likely be the last. If nothing else, many of his peers will retire worth half a billion or more. What is the future impact of athletes with this type of money, power, and influence?SUBSCRIBE TO LOCKED ON LAKERS ON YOUTUBEHosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Russ to the Lakers? Really? Like... really? C'mon now.SEGMENT 2: Is it worth trading the unique potential of THT for the more established, conventional talent like Sexton?SEGMENT 3: What are the larger implications of LeBron and other athletes becoming billionaires, or thereabouts?Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
