Description
He's on vacation, but LeBron James, serial watcher of basketball, is still glued to a television watching the NBA Playoffs play out without him, doesn't like it, and Tweeted that never again will he miss the playoffs. But while James didn't mention the specific team he'll be with, he presumably meant "with the Lakers. But all jokes(?) aside, it's a reminder of how much distance the Lakers have to travel before contention, even on the fringes, is a legit possibility.So with that in mind, is it an opportunity for the team to enter next season with a little more humility? Talk about building to something, and maybe turn down the heat on the season at the start? Because they'll definitely be sporting a brand new roster, and Lord knows a little time under the radar could be helpful.From there, a comment left on the Locked On Lakers YouTube page provided the inspiration for an entire show on Friday. And we're not done with it! We return to Socrates (the commenter, not the philosopher) for more. This time, it's about Russell Westbrook and where he fits in to a right and true rebuild, were the Lakers to go in that direction.Finally, assuming the Lakers can move Russ, what would that need to look like?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: LeBron declares himself playoff bound until retirement.SEGMENT 2: If the Lakers decide to tear it all down- still not the likely scenario by any stretch- where does Westbrook fit in? The answer might not please Lakers fans.SEGMENT 3: Looking at Westbrook trade scenarios.
