Description
Well, those 36-ish hours of basking in the glow of LeBron James' brilliance on Saturday against the Warriors was fun... but now it's back to the real world, where things just ain't much fun.New reports from Woj and Marc Stein detail conflict within the franchise over Russell Westbrook. Which, of course, isn't necessarily a new development, but one gets a sense that it's growing more magnified. Some important folks are pushing for Russ to come off the bench, with Frank Vogel apparently the biggest obstacle, for #BasketballReasons. Westbrook is apparently not paying his coach's loyalty back through receptiveness and positivity during film sessions. And all of this raises the question of why the Lakers didn't pay a few extra bucks to add Scott Brooks, who has a longstanding and strong relationship with Russ, onto Vogel's staff.Then again, how the Lakers spend their money is often reason to scratch your head, and indicative of priorities that don't feel well-placed.As always, a lot to sift through.Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySegment 1: The Kamenetzkys discuss reports of internal debate within the Lakers about playing Russ off the bench.Segment 2: Westbrook, arguments during film sessions, and resistance towards his role.Segment 2: Why you should pay more attention to what the Lakers spend on, rather than how much,Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!PrizePicksCheck out PrizePicks.com and use promo code: “NBA” or go to your app store and download the app today.

Lakers Lounge: Luke Hired, Pick Kept, Future Bright: Anthony and Harrison hadn’t spoken in a while, so there was quite a bit to talk about. The Lakers have since hired a coach, kept their second-overall pick and have the pieces to put together at least a competitive team next season. by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers
