It sounds dramatic… but are we sure it's wrong? Brad and Ryan take a deep dive into the Pacers role in the unraveling of the Milwaukee Bucks over the last few seasons. From Indiana dominating the Bucks throughout the 2024 season—including the In-Season Tournament semifinal in Las Vegas—to back-to-back first-round playoff eliminations, the guys trace the timeline of a rivalry that may have fundamentally altered the trajectory of Giannis Antetokounmpo's title window in Milwaukee. The infamous game-ball drama. Pat Beverley's final NBA moment. Coaching firings. The Damian Lillard disaster. Brook Lopez's exit. Khris Middleton traded. And of course the ridiculous Myles Turner deal sitting on Milwaukee's books through 2029. At every turn, the Pacers seemed to be standing on the other side of the Bucks downfall. Was Indiana the team that officially ended an era? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

Thursday, Christian Wood met the LA media for the first time, and said a lot of "meeting the media for the first time" type things. How excited he is to be in Los Angeles, how (as a Long Beach native) he's always wanted to play for the Lakers.And how he has a great relationship with Darvin Ham... who called him every day during free agency. Every day? That's a lot of days, and a lot of calls. But even if it's an exaggeration, it also makes some sense. The Lakers didn't have any extra money to offer, but what they could sell were vibes and opportunity. And whether you're a big Darvin guy or not, there probably aren't too many guys around the league who can sell culture to a player better than he can.And really, context should drive home to Wood the critical nature of this opportunity. If he doesn't make it work in LA, if he can't accept and then thrive in a role on a good team, where does he go from here?But red flags aside, the Lakers got the most talented player left available on the free agent market. And if you want him, it can't hurt to sweet talk him a little.Meanwhile, Pat Beverley was on his podcast, talking about the Jarred Vanderbilt extension. Interestingly, he told him that his advice was not to sign an extension. Why? Because players who do that get paid appropriately. Players who get signed during free agency? They get overpaid.Whether that would have applied to Vanderbilt is an open question, but it's a fascinating view of how folks get paid in the league.And finally, Buddy Hield is on the trade market. But this is a Buddy Hield safe space, because the Lakers do not have any players they can trade for him until at least mid-December. But what's really interesting is that the need for someone like Hield is a lot lower now than it was a year ago at this time.Please leave your Hield comments to yourself until then.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Christian Wood meets the media.

By the time most people engage with this episode, the US will likely have finished its game with Italy in the knockout rounds of the World Cup, and in one way or another, moved the weekend's loss to Lithuania off the front burner. But that one was interesting for a couple reasons. First, the USA lost, which always gets people upset.But beyond that, Austin Reaves had a really bad game. Easily his worst as a member of Team USA.And the internet let him have it.No question, there are just a lot of people out there who don't like the Lakers and don't appreciate all the attention Reaves has garnered, and want to see him knocked down a peg or three. But it's also because, yeah, Reaves has been not just the darling of this tournament, but really one of the more hyped stories of the offseason, from the great contract the Lakers signed him to, to the genuinely good story surrounding him coming to, and thriving on, Team USA.We've talked about him a ton on this Lakers-centered show. But the reality is, the Reaves News Cycle has lasted an unusually long time without something knocking it back a little. It probably should be trade rumors around Damian Lillard and James Harden, but those stories are completely dormant right now. So instead, we're a little oversaturated on the Reaves front.Meanwhile, Pat Beverley is suuuuuuuper salty when it comes to the Lakers, and seems to have taken this notion the team got better once he left - not because he left, but it's part of the timing - very personally. Not a surprise, sine salt is basically the foundational layer of his entire career. But still entertaining to see. Bev was a guest on Gilbert Arenas's podcast, and had some stuff to say about how the Lakers handled Russell Westbrook.Finally, we do open, almost accidentally, talking about Lonzo Ball and what might have been.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Lonzo Ball, what might have been, and how players get labeled too fast.SEGMENT 2: Austin Reaves haters and gave them ammo over the weekend.SEGMENT 3: Pat Bev and salt!Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!BirddogsGo to birddogs.com/LOCKEDONNBA or enter promo code LOCKEDONNBA for a free water bottle with any purchase.

The Lakers will have at least one more game to play without LeBron James, who almost surely will miss Monday's game against Portland, and that shines a light (or a brighter light, to be specific) on the new guys. D'Angelo Russell, Malik Beasley and Jarred Vanderbilt (with Mo Bamba serving the last of his four game suspension) will be needed to help elevate the Lakers past the Blazers -- a team they're chasing in the West.So what changes will they bring?Does the additional shooting from Russell and Beasley, who have averaged seven and eight-plus 3-pointers a game this year on quality percentages, fundamentally alter the team's offense? Nobody left on the roster pushes pace like Russell Westbrook, but at the same time, nobody was a more awkward fit in the team's halfcourt sets, which have been... well, underwhelming throughout the year.Much of Darvin Ham's decision-making around personnel choices has seemed to be oriented around creating and capitalizing on opportunities to run. In part, it can be argued, because the team was so clunky in the halfcourt. So what are the chances Ham embraces different lineups, perhaps with more size, knowing the personnel are now available to go bigger (Vanderbilt, Rui Hachimura, Wenyen Gabriel)? How does the complexion of the guard-heavy lineups change without the presence of Westbrook and Pat Beverley? Is a three-guard lineup without them quite as problematic, given the replacements?All stuff we'll learn more about, particularly once LeBron is back in the lineup.Finally, GM Rob Pelinka spoke about "Pre-Agency" ahead of Saturday's big win over the Warriors. What is he getting at there, and why should Lakers fans be encouraged by it? Bottom line, the Lakers have a chance to build a young core of players that are legit rotation players, occupying a range of salary slots. All of this stuff is important for flexibility, especially for a team without a lot of draft capital to work with. And they got more value (in quantity, and likely quality) by making moves now than they could have had in the summertime.And, as Pelinka noted, the team also has the chance to create the type of cap space they've typically chased.

Thursday's show was centered largely around a lineup choice Darvin Ham made against San Antonio that Lakers fans find particularly irksome, namely playing Dennis Schroder, Russell Westbrook and Pat Beverley at the same time. Three guards? Not necessarily a problem. THOSE three? A problem.In the comments of the YouTube section, many listeners/viewers felt Ham was being given too much leeway by the hosts (or one of them, at least). So with the news today that Lonnie Walker IV is getting very close to a return, and Austin Reaves is getting closer as well (and now having Anthony Davis available, and in a post-Rui Hachimura trade world), it all begs the question:With everyone healthy, who should be in Ham's rotation?So for Friday, it's a look at starting lineups, closing lineups, and the guys who will play and those who won't. At least not every game. Spoiler alert: Some guys who have played significant minutes, including some quality minutes, are likely to get squeezed. Some of the questions are related to Hachimura, and his ability to fit in defensively. What if he can, but what if he can't? What's the ripple effect? More importantly, Lakers fans and podcast hosts alike can all give their opinions about who ought to be playing or not, or whether THAT 3-guard lineup should ever see the light of day, again.What matters is Ham, and the choices he makes. Does he keep trotting out that trio, who played 12 minutes together on Wednesday?Meanwhile, Bleacher Report's Eric Pincus reports that the Lakers are among the teams that would be interested in Toronto guard Fred VanVleet should the Raptors decide to make him available. Is he worth two first round picks? Man alive, that's a tough call, and gets to the heart of the questions facing Rob Pelinka and the Lakers about when to make a trade, and which players are worth pulling the trigger for (especially in relation to those picks).Finally, Thrusday marked the three-year anniversary of the tragic plane crash that killed Kobe Bryant, his daughter Gigi, and seven others. (Payton Chester, 13; Sarah Chester, 45; Alyssa Altobelli, 14; Keri Altobelli, 46; John Altobelli, 56; Christina Mauser, 38; and the helicopter's pilot, Ara Zobayan, 50.) On this day, we relay a couple of our favorite moments covering Kobe.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Who should be in Darvin Ham's rotation?SEGMENT 2: Is Fred VanVleet worth a pair of first rounders?SEGMENT 3: More on the rotation, plus remembering Kobe Bryant.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
