Description

The Lakers have a lot of work to do this offseason, but one of the more foundational bits of business is figuring out what they still have in their star core. After two years of injuries scuttling seasons, is the core of LeBron James and Anthony Davis still one that can be reliably championship caliber? If the Lakers are nervous about the pairing, what exactly can they do to move on? Can they have Lebron but not necessarily go all in to win with him? This is the starting point of a two-part conversation with The Athletic's Jovan Buha,It kicks off answering the "What do they have?" question regarding James and Davis, and from there moves into "What can they get to make things better?" Should re-signing Malik Monk really be the team's top priority? Are there more pressing needs, even if Monk represents their most positive contributor from this season who isn't under contract?What else can the Lakers do? How much of the roster improvement is tied to the Westbrook deal? So many questions, with some difficult answers for the Lakers.HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (with Guest, Jovan Buha!)SEGMENT 1: Jovan, Andy and Brian debate the strength of the LeBron/AD core. Have injuries sucked away too much potential?SEGMENT 2: Jovan breaks down where the Lakers can go from here. With few avenues to improve, they'll have to be very smart about how they plan and execute an offseason strategy.SEGMENT 3: Andy and Brian react to the conversation. If the Lakers don't build around Davis and James... what exactly can they do?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.
