Where it All Stands for the Lakers, Nets, Westbrook, Kyrie, Durant, LeBron... Hell, Everyone!!!

Why Haven't the Lakers Issued an Update On Anthony Davis' Foot Injury? Is That a Bad Sign?: Sometimes no news is good news. But other times, no news is nerve-wracking, and sets off all sorts of alarm bells. Like when the news nobody is getting is about Anthony Davis and his health, following a foot injury last week that seemed innocent enough at the time. The Lakers were reportedly going to deliver an update on Monday... and we all went to bed Wednesday night without anything. Not even the now-standard "will be re-evaluated in X number of weeks." There's not even an official diagnosis. Fans can be forgiven for assuming the news may not be good. Nobody necessarily expects him to miraculously appear on the floor Friday or on Christmas, but the longer they go with radio silence, the more concerned Lakers fans will get. Maybe they clear it all up on Thursday! On the floor, meanwhile, a Lakers squad missing AD, Russell Westbrook, Austin Reaves and Juan Toscano-Anderson took it on the chin i by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Kevin Durant is Staying in Brooklyn, Which Means Kyrie Irving Isn't Coming to the Lakers. Plan B?: So, all that stuff? Just kidding. Nothing to see here, anymore. Yep, Tuesday saw Kevin Durant and the Brooklyn Nets agree to move forward together in pursuit of an NBA championship. Nothing about this is particularly surprising - short of an overwhelming offer Brooklyn had zero incentive to move Durant and KD had almost no leverage to force the team's hand - but it is nonetheless revealing. The landscape in the NBA has changed and superstars flexing, or trying to flex, are finding that context can make a big difference in determining whether that flex works. For the Lakers, there are long term implications around stars and star culture, but the more immediate impact? No Kyrie Irving. If Durant ain't moving, neither is Kyrie.

Where the Lakers Stand in the Western Conference Today, with Guest Mo Dakhil! (Part 1): The Lakers have had another summer of change, and more change is expected (or at least, if you're John Q. LakersFan, badly wanted). But right now, as the NBA offseason rolls into the dog days of August, where do things stand for Los Angeles relative to the rest of the conference? Are they a playoff team?

DeAndre Jordan is Introduced! Plus, Talen Horton-Tucker's role, and C-Webb the Laker?: At long last (or more specifically, 48 hours, the time it took to clear waivers), DeAndre Jordan officially signed his contract with the Lakers on Thursday, and did an introductory press conference. The most interesting aspects to the Kamenetzky Brothers weren't as much about the details he offered (although he did seem excited to compete and amiable towards whatever role is needed of him), but rather how he was asked questions that framed Lakers-Nets as a rivalry. It is... in the sense that these are the consensus picks to make the Finals, and the storylines are incredibly juicy fun. But it's also not, in the sense that there's no recent history to speak of whatsoever between these squads. In fact, they've barely even faced each. other in their current incarnations.

How Kevin Durant's Ultimatum to the Brooklyn Nets Impacts the Lakers, Westbrook and Kyrie Irving: The Lakers are still reportedly very, very interested in acquiring Brooklyn Nets guard Kyrie Irving, and to get him the Nets likely need resolution to the Kevin Durant Trade Situation. And that end of things saw some huge news Monday, as The Athletic's Shams Charania reports Durant gave Nets owner Joe Tsai an ultimatum: You can have me, or you can have GM Sean Marks and coach Steve Nash. You can't have both. So does that make it more likely Durant is moved? On the one hand, Tsai can't give into Durant's demands, or he cedes total control of his organization to one player, and torches his credibility across the league. On the other, what team wants to give up the farm for a 34-year old superstar who got EVERYTHING he asked for in Brooklyn, and still demands a trade?

The Trade Market for the Lakers and Russell Westbrook Keeps Shrinking. Plus, Free Agent Targets!: Earlier this week, the Denver Nuggets and Oklahoma City Thunder made a trade that, frankly, impacted the Lakers more than it will either of those teams. Why? Because the transaction basically made it much harder for the Thunder to acquire Russell Westbrook from the Lakers. Were they going to? Probably not, but given how thin the interest in Westbrook is likely to be, any shrinkage in available options is a thing. So Wednesday's trade sending Christian Wood from Houston to Dallas makes a difference to the Lakers, too, because Wood is one of those guys rumored to have been a possibility to move in a trade for Westbrook. Probably not as likely and therefore not as landscape altering, but another potential option chipped away.

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.

Lakers in Holding Pattern After Joe Tsai Rebuffs Durant's Ultimatum. Plus, the Ham/Russ dynamic.: Monday, it was revealed that Kevin Durant served Brooklyn Nets owner Joe Tsai with an ultimatum: You can keep me, or you can keep coach Steve Nash and GM Sean Marks. But you really can't keep both, if you want to keep me happy, at least. Tuesday, Tsai revealed his response: We like support our coach, our GM will make decisions based on what's best for the org and will do it on our timeline. So there you have it. Many Lakers fans saw the news and assumed that KD and the Nets are now at loggerheads, and that a trade would have to come fast. And hey, maybe it does, but unfortunately for the Lakers (who want to swoop in on that fallout and snatch up Kyrie Irving), Durant and Brooklyn being at an impasse doesn't necessarily mean the trade will come quickly, or that the Nets automatically trade Irving even when it does.

Does The Celtics Going after Kevin Durant Make It Harder for the Lakers to get Kyrie Irving?: There is a line of thinking that the minute the Brooklyn Nets trade Kevin Durant, it becomes easier for the Lakers to acquire Kyrie Irving. This seems to be the preferred outcome for the organization, and certainly many fans, compared at least to the possibility of acquiring Buddy Hield and Myles Turner from Indiana. But Boston's potential package for Brooklyn could be really good, including both Jaylen Brown and Marcus Smart, plus another rotation player and some picks. If that's the case, the Nets would still, in theory, have a very competitive team and wouldn't be in a hurry to jettison Kyrie (who, for what it's worth, says he wants to stay with the Nets) or if they did trade him, would potentially want more instantly useable players than Russell Westbrook. At least the Lakers would have clarity. So which trade would ultimately be better? Would the Lakers benefit more from the defense someo by Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers

Have Kyrie Irving Trade Talks Already "Lost Traction?" What Leverage do the Lakers Have?: Last week, momentum seemed to be gathering around a trade that would bring Kyrie Irving to the Lakers. This week, Shams Charania of The Athletic is reporting that the teams no longer have any "traction" on a deal, and he's wondering if the thing will ever happen at all. So what happens now? Are the Lakers and Nets each destined to hold on to their respective problematic point guards? Well, a lot of it has to do with leverage. The Lakers have a little bit over the Nets - namely that no other teams seem interested in acquiring Kyrie - and the Nets have more over L.A., because without a deal it's pretty certain the Lakers won't have a shot at winning anything significant this season. Fans want action. LeBron James wants action! Can the Lakers, then, afford not to act? And when it's all said and done, how much pressure are the Nets really under to make a deal?

Kyrie Irving opts in with Nets. What Next For the Lakers? Plus, Would Malik Monk Take Less to Stay?: The world woke up Monday to news that the relationship between Kyrie Irving and the Brooklyn Nets continued to deteriorate, and the star guard had permission to look for a sign and trade deal that would end his stay with the Nets. The Lakers, it was said, were the only team that showed interest. But Brooklyn, it was said, didn't want Russell Westbrook. So would it be a three-team deal? Four? How far would the Lakers go to simultaneously add the dynamic (if problematic) scorer and rid themselves of the Westbrook problem? Well, by 4 pm local time, it was a moot point. Kyrie announced, in the most pretentious way possible, he'll be staying with the Nets. Irving opts into the final year of his contract, and while that doesn't mean he can't be traded, it does mean he can't be part of a sign-and-trade that would bring him the contract Brooklyn seems unwilling to provide.

There's Indiana, Utah's skeletal remains, and whatever's behind Door #3 - basically some future option we just don't know about yet..

Could the Lakers/LeBron Get Christian Wood to Buy in, and is Anthony Davis a True Franchise Player?: The Lakers' fourteenth roster spot remains in flux, and according to multiple reports, could be earmarked for free agent Christian Wood, a talented but highly polarizing journeyman forward/center. Why does he rub some folks the wrong way? Because other than scoring, which he's admittedly quite good at, he doesn't seem dedicated to much else, especially defense. How hard would it be to change this? Well, according to an NBA source who spoke to Dan Woike (LA Times), “If LeBron [James] can get [Wood] to toe the line, it cements LeBron as the greatest player of all time... That's how hard it is." Oh my... But according to Woike, that doesn't necessarily mean the Lakers wouldn't give this project a go, anyway.

Anthony Davis Probable vs. Nets: How it Impacts LeBron, the Lakers. Plus, Westbrook for Wall Trade Rumors?: The Lakers, obviously, are at a critical juncture in their season. It's getting awful close to make-or-break time, in terms of understanding just how realistic a deep playoff run is going to be. And fundamentally, that means getting Anthony Davis back on the floor. That could happen Tuesday, as the Lakers star was upgraded to probable after nearly suiting up against the Heat on Sunday. Not only does Davis make the team better on both sides of the floor based solely on his talent - for all the talk of vaguely disappointing play from him this season, it's in the context of a guy being a top 15 player instead of a top 5 - he also allows: some pressure to come off LeBron offensively slots Westbrook into a better spot (and gives Russ another large man to pass to at the rim) helps the Lakers settle into their small-ball identity for real. ...and more.

Are the Lakers Interested in Russell Westbrook? Possibly. Is LeBron James a Billionaire? Definitely.: As it turns out, Chris Paul isn't the only future Hall of Fame point guard at the tail end of his career that's now linked to the Lakers. Marc Spears of ESPN/The Undefeated has reported discussions between the Lakers and Wizards about a blockbuster that would send Russell Westbrook to L.A. in a complicated scenario involving signed-and-traded(s) Dennis Schröder/Talen Horton-Tucker, Kyle Kuzma... and very little logic on either side. Westbrook remains a great player, but he makes zero sense for the Lakers. At all. (Frankly, Washington's end of the deal is weird for them.) Never say never, but with all sincere respect to Russ, this feels like an insane long shot. The Lakers extended a qualifying offer to Horton-Tucker, which was completely expected.

Kenny Atkinson Scouting Report: Is He a Good Choice to Coach the Lakers?: Former Brooklyn Nets coach Kenny Atkinson is reportedly (along with Darvin Ham and Terry Stotts) among the finalists for the Lakers head coaching job. His tenure hit a high point while guiding a young team featuring D'Angelo Russell, Spencer Dinwiddie and Jarrett Allen, but once Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving arrived, Atkinson's job security felt immediately in danger, which raises questions about his ability to coach LeBron James, Anthony Davis and (possibly) Russell Westbrook. Then again, in fairness to Atkinson, his time in Brooklyn was also very specifically weird, meaning it may not be fair to think of him as best suited for a rebuilding squad, rather than one with a directive to be ready for primetime.

Are the Lakers Now Looking to Trade for Buddy Hield Instead of Kyrie Irving?: While the world waits to see if the Lakers can swing a trade for Kyrie Irving with Brooklyn - a tough proposition given that Brooklyn will almost certainly wait until they get resolution on the Kevin Durant situation before moving Kyrie - could L.A. again be looking in another direction? A familiar direction? ESPN's Dave McMenamin reports the Lakers are again exploring a trade that would bring Indiana's Buddy Hield to Los Angeles. Remember, it was Hield the Lakers were set to acquire before going in a VERY different direction and acquiring Russell Westbrook from Washington, instead. So what would a trade for Hield look like?

Should the Lakers Trade for a (Different) Star, or Trade for Better Roster Depth?: Over at The Athletic, Seth Portnow has issued his yearly "tiers" ratings, And while we're not yet at the main course (where do LeBron and Anthony Davis end up?) the series has already revealed a couple fairly devastating things about the Lakers, and the level of talent on the roster. Russell Westbrook, who cost the Lakers a first round pick and valuable depth, is near the bottom of Tier 5, ranked outside the top 100 players in the league. Meanwhile, no other Lakers (aside from James and Davis) will appear on the list at all. Compared to other teams in the Western Conference, this illustrates a staggering lack of roster depth.

Should the Lakers Trade Jarred Vanderbilt for Christian Wood? Plus... Austin Reaves, Future All-Star?: Do not kill the messenger.

For obvious reasons, since they could get something in return for him. Wood would clearly love that outcome, because it would mean he's getting something more than a minimum deal. And the Lakers are part of the conversation because they're one of the teams linked to Wood as a possible free agent destination. Quinn noted, for that reason, that while he doesn't think this will happen and it's currently not a live scenario, one way—and really the only way—the Lakers could engage in a S/T with Dallas for Wood would be by trading Jarred Vanderbilt.

Is the Hield/Turner for Westbrook/Draft Picks Trade Dead? Should the Lakers Revive It?: Last week brought the news that the Lakers had been kicking the tires again on a potential trade with Indiana that would bring guard Buddy Hield and perhaps center Myles Turner to Los Angeles in exchange for (broadly) Russell Westbrook and draft picks. Or apparently, draft PICK, which explains why the deal is reportedly dead for now. The Pacers want the Lakers to include both of their tradable first round picks, and Lakers are only willing - for now - to part with one. Is that a mistake for the Lakers, who undeniably need to improve their talent base and upgrade their shooting to have even a moderate shot at contention this year?
