At this point, no matter how the Charlotte Hornets try to slice and dice this, it doesn't appear that the deadline deal that would have made Mark Williams a Laker will go through. So while in the short term, it leaves the Lakers thin in the middle, the failed trade may still have served another very important purpose. This from the always excellent Marc Stein, and his Substack: "Yet there has been no tangible dismay from the Dončić camp about his new team walking away from the Williams deal. Sources told The Stein Line that Dončić, in his first discussion about roster construction with Lakers vice president of basketball operations Rob Pelinka, told Pelinka that he understood it might take until the summer to make that addition ... and came away impressed by how swiftly the Lakers initially moved to try to address that void."It remains to be seen whether the Lakers ultimately fill their center void more successfully in the offseason, whether by acquiring a player better than Williams, an equivalent at a lower price, or maybe just getting someone with a less risky health profile. Maybe Williams actually stays relatively healthy going forward. Nobody knows at this point. But for the Lakers to have already done some work in the goodwill department with their new superstar—a player who is expected to sign an extension in Los Angeles (if for no other reason than finances), but is by no means obligated—is important. The Lakers have, for better or worse, made some big swings for their stars over the last few seasons. Williams was a high risk, high reward move done in part to impress Luka. Russell Westbrook was an comically bad idea done in part to service the franchise's history of star effery, but also to satisfy LeBron. The actions may not be wise, but the Lakers can definitely say they try. So far, so good when it comes to building a good relationship with Dončić.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers get some benefit from the Williams non-trade, even if they don't get Williams. SEGMENT 2: LeBron gets "energy" from Luka. SEGMENT 3: Tier 2.5, baby!!! Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

The All-Star Game lost one potential Laker when Anthony Davis was traded to Dallas. (Luka Dončić wasn't going to play thank to the games he missed to injury.) Relatively late in the afternoon on Sunday, LeBron James announced he wouldn't be playing, taking the time to rest his bothersome foot and ankle instead. "“I was hoping that it would feel a lot better this morning, but it’s not where I want it to be... And with 30 games left and with us trying to make a playoff push in the wild, wild, West, I feel like it’s very important for me to kind of take care of myself and understand what’s coming on," James said. “So, I won’t say it’s maintenance, but it is maintenance,” he said. “At the same time, I have to look out for myself when it comes to this to this injury I’ve been dealing with for years.”So on the one hand, sad for the NBA and for fans, who have been watching him play in every game since 2004. (That, sidenote, is a stunning bit of trivia.) On the other... this is a good thing for the Lakers. Yes, it means LeBron is nursing an injury, but we knew that. And likely, doing whatever it is they do in modern ASGs wasn't going to hurt him, but why risk it? James is prioritizing the final 30 games of the season. Ultimately, he needed the break to get his body right. Unrelated to All-Star, obviously, Luka noted last week that he needed a mental and physical break. All of this is a reminder that the Lakers seem to have a lot more to play for than they did in game 25. Not that they're favorites in the conference—that honor still obviously goes to the Thunder—but given how wide open the West is, the way the Lakers have played in the last month or so, pushing themselves well up into the top 6 gives them as good a shot as everyone else. Assuming, of course, the two stars are the best versions of themselves. Luka needs to round back into form after missing almost two months. LeBron needs to find ways to keep it, physically. But whether James or the other guys on the team, you get the sense that they're no longer having to play mental games to convince themselves that the spring could bring meaningful basketball. That's a big shift, and something to be excited about coming out of the break.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: LeBron sits out the All Star Game. SEGMENT 2: The NBA needs to get offline. SEGMENT 3: The Hornets seem to be giving up on the Mark Williams trade.  Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

It might sound strange to some that Luka Dončić admitted after Wednesday's clunker of a game for the Lakers, in which Luka himself was pretty clunky, that he really needed the upcoming All-Star break. Physically, in part to continue working his way back following the calf injury that cost him nearly two months of play, and definitely mentally. It's easy to forget, given how talented these players are, the amount of resources available to them, and the sheer amount of money they make, that even the biggest superstars are still people. It's something crystalized by JJ Redick when he noted that his ASB would be spent filling out insurance paperwork and trying to find a more permanent place for his family to live following the loss of their home in the Palisades fire. For Luka, it's been a different kind of stress, but similarly draining. It can be argued that no employee in America is less threatened by job transfer (or in the NBA, a trade) than a superstar in his mid-20s. Like, those guys have security. Luka wasn't pushing his way out, or demanding a trade. This wasn't something he saw coming in the slightest. And not only did Dallas trade him, they took serious shots at his professionalism on the way out the door. Even if some of the criticism is fair—Dončić does need to take better care of himself as NBA seasons pile up on his body—how it was delivered, by people representing the organization he saw as an ally, is jarring. So Wednesday in Utah, it's very possible Luka hit a mental wall. And a physical one, with the altitude and the reality that it's often the second big workout that's harder than the first. There's a lot riding on this trade. Given how well the Lakers have played over the last month, the Dončić deal is no longer one to think about solely as a move for the future. The Lakers are in the thick of it in the Western Conference, even with their "all-in" move for a center falling apart. It matters if Luka slumps a little in his first games as a Laker, insofar as the standings are concerned. So it'll be interesting to see how fans react if Luka comes out of the break and doesn't put up his "classic" numbers. Down the road, we might all need to re-calibrate what Luka's numbers ought to be. Is he going to put out stats at the same rate playing next to LeBron James and Austin Reaves? What numbers ought to go up, high as many already were? The "feeling out" period includes fans, who will find out with time if their own systems of evaluation for guys like Luka need recalibrating to account better for context. All this to say, there's some reason to worry Luka won't bounce back effectively for the second half of the season. There's far more reason, however, to blieve he'll be back to what he was before injury. HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Luka needs a break! SEGMENT 2: Why there's a toll... even when it looks like players aren't using it. SEGMENT 3: Why the All-Star Game is obsolete. Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

The Lakers have, for the most part, been in a tremendous rhythm over the last few weeks. So on Wednesday in Utah, when they were decidedly not, it was actually pretty jarring. LA was out of sorts for most of the night, playing shorthanded (no Dorian Finney-Smith, no Gabe Vincent and Jaxson Hayes left early after being hit in the face), and lost all attributes of the defensive cohesion that has fueled this big run of wins. Final score, Jazz 131, Lakers 119. Nobody looked great. Luka Dončić finished with 16 points, four rebounds and four assists, but struggled with foul trouble and turned the ball over five times in only 23 minutes of run. LeBron was reasonably quiet. Austin Reaves was a putrid 1-10 from 3-point range. The whole team, in fact, seemed flummoxed by the long stretches of zone defense thrown at them by Utah. They had trouble generating shots with balance offensively—Jazz center Walker Kessler was a problem in the paint—which led to bad balance defensively. They couldn't make a free throw (17-30)!And man, did the defense fail them. In the second and third quarters especially, the Jazz seemed able to get whatever good shots they wanted. So the first half (pre-All-Star break, really) portion of the schedule wraps up in disappointing fashion, but overall there are strong reasons to feel optimistic. At 32-20, the Lakers are firmly in the top six in the Western Conference, with at least a puncher's chance to move up. They've got some serious energy thanks to the Luka deal. Finney-Smith is a good fit, Vincent is playing well, Rui Hachimura has raised his level. Everyone will get a chance to re-charge over the break. (JJ Redick noted he hopes to use the break to finish insurance claims and find an apartment after losing his house in the Palisades fire, a reminder that while the Lakers have been playing games, players and staff continue dealing with significant life issues.) But Wednesday also showed there's some work to do. There's reason to believe the Luka/LeBron partnership will come together reasonably quick, but that doesn't mean every night is going to be smooth sailing. Rim protection is going to be an issue, particularly when Hayes—the closest thing they have to a paint presence—isn't on the floor. So it's not perfect, but if you asked Lakers fans in October if they'd take 32-20 heading into the break, virtually all would have jumped at it. The Lakers are set to play meaningful basketball as winter turns to spring, which is a nice place to be.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The D collapses in Utah. SEGMENT 2: An off night for Luka. SEGMENT 3: 32-20.

Competing in their last game before the All-Star break, the Los Angeles Lakers couldn’t have played any worse than they did Wednesday night in Utah as the Jazz upset the favored Lakers 131-119. Lauri Markkanen led Utah with 32 points, while Keyonte George added 20 off the bench. The Lakers were led in the loss by Rui Hachimura’s 19 points, LeBron James' 18, and Luka Doncic’s 16. The Lakers will return to action on February 19th, when they host the Charlotte Hornets.Lakers, LA Lakers, Los Angeles Lakers, LeBron James, Luka Doncic, Rui, Hachimura Austin Reeves, Dalton Knecht, NBA, Lakers Post cast, JJ Redick, Dave Palet, Lakers vs Jazz, Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz Support Us, By Supporting Our Sponsors!WAYFAIRAfter the holiday hustle, there’s nothing like giving your home a little TLC.

Tuesday afternoon, the Lakers hit the buyout market, signing veteran seven-footer Alex Len, who had been with Sacramento for the last few seasons. While early in his career after being drafted by the Suns in 2013 Len showed glimpses of promise, for the most part he's been a depth big, bouncing around the league and never really breaking out. He's got a little offensive game, and has had seasons where the defensive metrics look ok (and others where they most certainly do not). But let's be real: Len's primary positive attribute is size. He's an enormous human. And that's the "skill set" that prompted the Lakers to release Christian Wood to make space for him. Len is unlikely to play big minutes for LA. He's certainly not going to take a starting position from Jaxson Hayes, who has earned the right to keep his gig and, importantly, is a better player and a better fit with Luka Dončić and LeBron James. What the Len signing says, though, is that the Lakers are moving on from the failed Mark Williams trade—Charlotte is exploring ways to protest the physical results, but as of yet there's no indication it'll actually lead anywhere—and trying to fill out the roster in a logical way. Len gives the Lakers a big-bodied bruiser to go along with the bouncy-but-lighter Hayes and Christian Koloko, who is cut from a similar mold. He's taller than Trey Jemison III, and has significantly more experience. He's a type as much as a player, and gives JJ Redick another layer of optionality in the roster, particularly in specific matchups against burly fives. And since Wood clearly wasn't coming back anytime soon, it's essentially no harm, no foul. But don't expect the Lakers to lean into a Hayes/Len rotation. Instead, they're much more likely to "go small," but keep in mind "small" for these Lakers... isn't all that small. The new point guard is 6'6". LeBron and Rui, 6'8". DFS? 6'7". Vando? 6'8". Only one rotation regular (Gabe Vincent) is shorter than Austin Reaves at 6'5". This is not a small group, and that's the identity Redick is almost certainly going to leverage.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers sign Alex Len. SEGMENT 2: What the Len signing means for how the Lakers will play.

The NBA West Squad Show brings together hosts from various Western Conference teams to discuss the latest developments. This episode focuses on the aftermath of the Luka Doncic trade, with Nick Angstadt of Locked on Mavericks expressing his frustration and concerns. The panel debates the impact on the Mavericks and Lakers, particularly with Anthony Davis's injury.

Ultimately, the game wasn't close enough for fans to get a full view of newly acquired superstar Luka Doncic. Not exactly what they wanted, as they poured into Crypto.com Arena on Monday, but a nice "problem" for the Lakers. Final score, 132-113. Doncic, who had a 30 minute cap on his minutes in his first game since Christmas, was only needed for about 23:30. It's obviously too early to make sweeping statements about what the Luka/LeBron James Lakers will look like over time, and after such a big layoff Luka's jumper was (understandably) off... but a few things feel safe to say. First, the Lakers are going to feature some absolutely absurd passing. Both Luka and LeBron are special scorers, but they are otherworldly distributors. For the Lakers to have two guys at that size, capable of creating passing angles virtually nobody in the league can (then often sharing the floor with Austin Reaves, himself a great passer)? It's going to mean a ton of good looks. And the ball movement is contagious, so it should encourage good habits in that respect no matter what floor combos are out there. Moreover, where the Lakers before too often found themselves forcing up horrible shots late in the clock, adding Luka could give them a far better chance to create quality shots throughout all 24 seconds. That certainly was the case on Monday. Players will pass up good shots for great ones. Teams will figure out how they want to defend the Lakers over time—and maybe some of those ideas will work—but the percentage of quality shots the Lakers are able to generate should rise precipitously. And importantly, that should have a positive impact on the defense. Doncic certainly wasn't great in this one, by his lofty standards. There will be far more remarkable games against much better teams between now and the end of this season. (Or even the end of this month.) But it's already clear that this version of the Lakers will produce things from night to night—even on the nights where they kinda suck—that will be tremendous fun for basketball fans, and the energy of these guys together, with the prospect for a highlight reel pass at any moment (and incentive for supporting players to put themselves at the receiving end) will be good for the Lakers. It'll take weeks for Luka, LeBron and the rest of the team, along with the coaching staff, to get deep into the bag of tricks now available to them. It already looks like a roster that could fuel tremendous positive energy if everyone rows in the same direction. Meanwhile, the Lakers, at 32-19, are tied for fourth in the West, with one more game against the Jazz before the All-Star break. They've bought some space to figure things out, as needed. HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Luka makes his debut as the Lakers crush Utah. SEGMENT 2: Wow, that was fun! SEGMENT 3: Things are really, really trending up for LA.  Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

So what now?In news that frankly was more stunning than the acquisition of center Mark Williams from the Charlotte Hornets late last week, on Saturday evening it was announced that the deal was off. Why? Because Williams failed his physical with the Lakers. This sort of thing is exceedingly rare. Often when problems like this pop up, the terms of compensation change, but the trade still happens. But for the centerpiece (no pun intended) of a trade to be examined and red flagged to the point where the team that wanted him won't sign off? Wow. So who's to blame here? Did Rob Pelinka screw this up (and in the process cost the Lakers a chance to get a different center whose body they presumably wouldn't decide is a ticking time bomb? Did the Hornets try to hide the ball and hoodwink the Lakers into giving up (a lot of) assets for a guy they knew was damaged? Or was this just the process playing out as it should? Either way, the Lakers are now short the starting center they thought they had on Thursday as the deadline passed, and don't have many options to try and solve the problem. Essentially, they're down to players available through the buyout market (the most prominent being Daniel Theis and former Laker (albeit briefly) Mo Bamba. Could those guys help a little? Maybe? Depends on how we're defining "help" and "a little." Are they difference makers? Absolutely not. (And because both Knecht and Reddish are back on the roster, they'd have to cut someone to make the room. Maybe they roll with Jaxson Hayes and two-way centers Trey Jemison III and Christian Koloko, creating roster space for one of them to be converted to a regular NBA contract, since two-way guys aren't eligible for the postseason. But mostly, it's just pretty clear the Lakers are going to have to finish the year with a different roster than the one they had hoped for, which means JJ Redick and his staff will have to adjust accordingly. Winning games like Saturday in Indiana feel even more important now, since the team could be a little weaker. Winning games like those, and like the one coming tonight against Utah (with Luka Doncic hopefully ready to make his debut in LA), are/will be critical for giving the Lakers a little cushion to absorb any slow start they might have in the Doncic Era. HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Williams Deal is DeadSEGMENT 2: Did Pelinka make a mistake, here? SEGMENT 3: AD injured.

There are no breaks with the Lakers these days. In a shocking turn of events, the trade between the Lakers and Hornets bringing Mark Williams to LA has been rescinded after Williams failed his physical. It's important to know how rare this sort of thing is, and while reports are it wasn't his problematic back that spooked LA's docs, there was enough other stuff going on here that the Lakers simply couldn't pass him. Eventually, we'll get a better feel for whatever happened here, and down the road we'll learn whether the Lakers dodged a bullet and/or if they can make a better deal this offseason, the most pressing question is clear: What do the Lakers do now? The Lakers still need a center, but trade deadline is passed, so that's not an option, anymore. Meanwhile, undoing the trade puts two players back on LA's roster, complicating their efforts to sign a  player on the buyout market. Moreover, none of the players they might eventually get access to will be as good, or even as close to as good, as Williams. Rob Pelinka is going to need to return to the drawing board, but this time it's going to be filled with far fewer appealing choices.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

(NOTE: Hi folks! This episode was recorded before the news about Mark Williams, and the now-rescinded trade with Charlotte. So obviously some of the context here has changed, and we'll be back to react to the news, but in the meantime much of what we talked about applies.) No LeBron James, no Luka Doncic, and the Lakers having to go very, very deep into the roster bag Saturday vs. Indiana? No problem! In one of the more contextually entertaining games of the season, the Lakers beat Indiana, 124-117, behind 45/7/7 from Austin Reaves. He was fantastic on a day the Lakers needed him to perform like star, but he had some help. Rui Hachimura had 24 points and nine rebounds. Jaxson Hayes kicked in, finishing one point shy of a double-double. Gabe Vincent had 12 points, Trey Jemison III eight, and Jordan Goodwin (signed to a two-way deal on Friday) played 25 minutes and scored 10 points. It was a true team effort, with everyone who played kicking in with something, and one of those games that if the Lakers sneak into a better seed at the end of the year by a game or two, that they'll look back on as critical. Obviously not one where you draw lessons on style of play or anything like that, but it is one that will do a lot of good for the confidence of LA's role players as the Luka/LeBron era kicks off.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

Playing without LeBron James and Luka Doncic, Austin Reeves set a career high in points with 45 and Rui Hachimura added 24 as the Los Angeles Lakers held on to beat the visiting Indiana Pacers 124-117. The Pacers were led by Pascal Siakam’s 23 but trailed by 25 points in the first half and couldn’t overcome the massive deficit.

No LeBron, No Luka, no problem. the Lakers win again, behind a huge game from Austin Reaves. With the shorthanded Lakers waiting one more game before the hopeful debuts of Luka Doncic and Mark Williams, plus the return of LeBron James to the lineup after missing Saturday's contest with a sore ankle, a "next man/men" up mentality would be required in order to beat an Indiana Pacers team that's been smoking hot of late, even on the road. No worries. Austin Reaves took over for the Lakers, putting up a career-high 45 points to go along with seven rebounds and seven assists. Rui Hachimura scored 24 points on his 27th birthday. And from there, all the role players not expected to provide counting stats galore found ways to pitch in. In the end, a win that keeps the Lakers climbing up the standings, but also continues a recent trend of top-to-bottom contributions from the entire rotation. Good stuff, indeed! HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter! In One-stop for ultimate team and league coverage delivered right to your in box.

Thursday at the Crypt against Golden State, the Lakers picked up right where they'd left off, replicating the fantastic effort and execution used to beat the Knicks and the Clippers over the last week. In the first half, the Lakers went up by as much as 26, and went into the break up 20. Things weren't as smooth in the second half, as the Lakers let Golden State get back in the game. They never gave up the lead, but were forced to play through the tape in a 120-112 win. The Lakers are on the cusp of some seismic changes. Luka Doncic and Mark Williams are set to take the floor soon. Doncic becomes the new best player on the team, and the long-term future of the squad. But in the meantime, it's important not to forget about LeBron James. The old man was on fire Thursday, pulling the Lakers through to a win with 42 points, 17 rebounds and eight assists. He was, by a significant margin, the best player on the floor for either team. He provided support for Austin Reaves, who scored 23 points thanks to 15-16 from the line, but struggled with his shot (4-17) and turnovers (4). On a night where it looked like the Lakers might need another member of the supporting cast, whether Rui Hachimura (11 points) or Dorian Finney-Smith (7 points), to step up with a big night, LeBron made that unnecessary. In the process, the Lakers won their 10th game in 12 tries, moved to 11 games over .500 (with two games against the Jazz before the All-Star break) and put a little more daylight between themselves and the group of teams stuck in the play-in bracket. The beauty of LeBron's big night, other than the fun of watching James perform at that level (and yes, made cooler by the fact he's 40 years old in year 22) is that this sort of performance should be far less necessary going forward, once Doncic is available. Not just in in terms of scoring, but the work of orchestrating an offense and controlling a game. He'll still be able to do it, and at times certainly will. But with Doncic as the headliner, that burden shifts considerably and the fact that James—averaging 25.6/7.8/9.9 over his last 10 games—still has that level of production easily accessible is what will make the Lakers a very dangerous playoff team.  Moreover, it seems pretty clear that while LeBron said the right stuff before, he now sees far more potential for this team than he did a month ago. That's not a knock on Davis, but a reflection of how the team has trended over the last few weeks, and now the potential of the re-shaped roster. That sense of purpose is critical for most athletes (the Lakers are likely counting on it with Williams), but for a guy in year 22? It's even more essential.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: LeBron blows up vs. Golden StateSEGMENT 2: Has LeBron found the joy again? SEGMENT 3: Scouting Mark Williams, and setting expectations.  Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

Rob Pelinka didn't take his foot off the gas. Shortly after arriving in Los Angeles, new superstar Luka Doncic made it clear the type of center he likes to play with. Active, athletic, and with the ability to get up to be a vertical threat. Ask and you shall receive, Mr. Doncic. Late Wednesday evening, (via ESPN's Shams Charania) the Lakers agreed to a deal with the Charlotte Hornets to acquire 23-year old 7-footer Mark Williams in exchange for Dalton Knecht, Cam Reddish, an unprotected first rounder in 2031 and a pick swap in 2030. This pick is reflective of the new world of options opened up to the franchise by acquiring Doncic. First, the Lakers have clearly made the calculation—with good reason—that they're capable of competing after the first big trade. Yes, the Lakers probably took a step back defensively, but wins against New York and the Clippers, both without Davis, showed the Lakers are capable of competing on that side of the floor. And while they did make a huge trade and sent out two key players... they acquired Luka Doncic in the process.And because they did, that pick swap and first rounder surrendered to get Williams, who is exactly the type of player Doncic asked for (offensively at least) becomes a lot less painful to send out. The Lakers, with Doncic in the fold, are far less likely to fall off a cliff in the post-LeBron era than they might have been a week ago. Given their histories, which team would you pick to have a better record in a few years time? LA or Charlotte? Obviously a lot can happen between now and then... but the value of those picks/swaps went down a ton the minute the Pelinka and Nico Harrison called it a deal. And in Williams, the Lakers acquired a center that wouldn't have worked nearly as effectively with Davis. Yes, he's a true C, but he's also not a floor spreader. Williams has taken one three pointer in his three-season career. (He missed.) They'd have had to pay a premium to get Williams, but would have had trouble keeping him and A.D. on the floor together enough to make that cost worth it. But with Luka and LeBron? Williams makes a lot more sense. This was already a transformative deadline for the Lakers. But now, the Lakers have their star of the present and future, and a center who fits the timeline. There's risk—Williams has been hurt for huge portions of all three seasons he's played, and has been a very mixed bag as a defender—but if he can shake off the injuries (none requiring surgery) Williams could be a mainstay for a decade. Wow. Wow, wow. wow. Lakers fans have every right to be excited.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers acquire Mark Williams from Charlotte. SEGMENT 2: What are they getting in Williams? SEGMENT 3: What this says about the Lakers commitment to Doncic, after only days of him being on the team.  Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!

The Lakers put out quite an effort on the defensive end Saturday, when they beat the Knicks in New York. Tuesday against the Clippers, they did it again, this time without Max Christie, who was with the Mavs making his debut for Dallas. Final score, 122-97. This was a top 3 defense in the league, and the Lakers lit them up, and controlled the game throughout. And obviously this was done without Luka Doncic on the floor. (LA's new star is targeting Saturday vs. Indiana to make his debut in purple and gold.) Everything will change once Doncic is in uniform, and there will without question be adjustments and growing pains. But it's pretty clear—as they wrap up a 5-1 Grammy road trip, tied in the loss column with Denver, and will taking the floor Thursday at the Crypt having won nine of their last 11 games—that the Lakers have found something that has nothing to do with which star or role player is on the roster. Save clunkers against Charlotte and Philadelphia (one win, one embarrassing loss), the Lakers have displayed a level of focus and continuity on the floor, not only playing hard but also executing the same game plan, as a team. The latter certainly hasn't been a given throughout the year. Obviously more could change between now and Thursday's trade deadline, but the circumstances under which the Lakers will now integrate Doncic—or more specifically, how the Lakers will be integrated with Doncic—is promising. First, they've given themselves a little bit of cushion to work with in the West, having moved a few games clear of the play-in tier, but as importantly they seem to have a better understanding of what JJ Redick and the coaching staff are asking of them. They're more confident. There's less guessing. The role players, who have been thriving with LeBron James (26/8/9) setting them up, are about to take the floor with Doncic as well. Austin Reaves (20/6/9) continues growing more comfortable as a distributor. Rui Hachimura (20 points) has taken advantage of more opportunities in the offense. Dalton Knecht (14 points) is back to providing useful minutes off the bench. Shot quality with Luka and LeBron should be off the charts. Better shots and better offense will mitigate some of their vulnerabilities on defense. It's not going to be perfect, or even close, but the notion the Lakers have to drop off significantly following the trade simply isn't supported by what's happening on the floor.  HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers thump the Clippers. SEGMENT 2: Finding an identity. SEGMENT 3: Quickly adjusting to a new world in El Segundo.  Your favorite podcast now has a newsletter!
