Description

In Part I of our conversation with Jovan Buha of The Athletic, we covered the LeBron James and Anthony Davis core, how viable it is, and what the Lakers might do to improve the supporting cast around them this summer. Central to that is the future of Russell Westbrook. Part II starts there. First and foremost, Jovan doesn't think the Lakers can bring Westbrook back, at least in a basketball playing capacity. If he's on the roster, the Lakers pay him to stay away. So that leaves a trade.What is realistic? Could the Lakers get Indiana to trade Malcolm Brogdon and Buddy Hield to LA? Would that cost them both of their available first round picks? Would that be worth it?What about the head coach? Whatever identity the team forges moving forward will come, at least in part, from the influence of the guy on the sidelines. Could the Lakers land a big fish like Nick Nurse? What about Quin Snyder or Doc Rivers if either becomes available? Mark Jackson? Would the Lakers take a shot on a coach with no experience as a head man?What about Mike Brown? He's an interesting story from the "retread" category. Would he be more appealing than a name brand like Rivers or Jackson?HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (Guest: Jovan Buha of The Athletic)SEGMENT 1: What to do with Russ. Is a really good trade out there? How about kinda good?SEGMENT 2: Who does Jovan believe the Lakers will target for their next head coach?SEGMENT 3: Conceptually, what would you like to see for the Lakers next year. Pitches for Sam Cassell and Mike Brown.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.
