Description

With the dispirited Brooklyn Nets on the precipice of getting swept by the Boston Celtics, the Kamenetzkys took a chance (that paid off!!!) of treating their defeat as fait accompli Monday night, and pre-recorded an examination the commonalities between their failures and those of the Los Angeles Lakers. Specifically, there were star-heavy foundations that collapsed, whether LeBron James/Anthony Davis/Russell Westbrook in L.A., or Kevin Durant/Kyrie Irving/Half of James Harden/None of Ben Simmons. In both cases, you had far too little consideration given towards elements like chemistry, personalities, accountability, leadership and conflicting goals. (To be fair to the Nets, their supporting cast was at least better constructed than the Lakers.)Moving forward, both franchises have big questions to figure out about their respective directions and futures, which raise questions about everything from the viabilities of "stars above all else" formulas to the importance of at least one superstar who's not a mercenary addition.Plus, ahead of Thursday's guest appearance by Lakers beat writer Jovan Buha of The Athletic, the Kamenetzkys tackled a question from his recent mailbag.Do you expect LeBron and AD to the four/five moving forward? Or to slide back to the three/four? — @LakersSupplyAn unexpectedly heated debate ensued!Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySegment One: The similarities between the Lakers and Nets during underperforming seasons.Segment Two: What the Lakers can learn from recent success about how to attempt retooling the roster this offseason.Segment Three: Andy and Brian argue about the importance of making Anthony Davis a designated, full-time, "stop resisting it" center.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.
