Jake and Dan explain why the deal makes sense for both teams, even if it came a little earlier than expected.There are rumors of LeBron James perhaps being traded off the Los Angeles Lakers, but those rumors were shut down by his agent while we recorded the show. Jake tells us who else the Lakers have been pursuing and Dan talks about how bad they've been since winning the NBA In-Season Tournament.Jalen Brunson was named an NBA All-Star for the first time yesterday and then put on a fantastic performance in front of the New York Knicks home crowd. The guys talk about his rapid ascent into superstardom and how nobody saw it coming.Finally, Jake's story about NBA veteran Tony Snell, who is looking to sign with a team so that he can get insurance benefits for his two young, autistic children, went viral after being published. We talk a little bit about how much the NBA community has supported Tony the last few days and the challenges that make a happy ending difficult in this circumstance.Check out the rest of the Yahoo Sports podcast family at https://apple.co/3zEuTQj or at Yahoo Sports PodcastsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Lakers took one on the chin in Philadelphia on Monday, suffering one of the worst losses in team history, and the worst in LeBron's storied career. (44 points!)It was enough to have James talking about "a lot" needing to change going forward. What that means? Hard to say. Was he talking about mechanics on the court? Team culture? Coaching strategies? Just saying that literally when you lose by 44, by definition a lot has to change? The Lakers, though, have a golden opportunity to reset the narrative tonight against a terrible Detroit team, and Monday's result makes this game crucial for two reasons: With a game Thursday in OKC, the Lakers need this game to guarantee a .500 trip, and not lose the solid impact of Saturday's excellent effort in Cleveland. One really good way to amplify the concerns about deeper issues inside the team? Lose to a Pistons squad that hasn't won since before Halloween. We're not at panic territory yet. Or even close, really. But you don't want to edge anywhere near it, particularly when it comes to things that generate drama. Because lose tonight, lose tomorrow? You come home with a serious vibes problem, and folks are VERY sensitive to vibes right now.So what was LeBron asking to change? He didn't say... but we have some suggestions. One really big one?Shoot more. Move faster. Not on the break (though that would be nice) but in the half court, because the Lakers literally take the fewest amount of shots in the NBA on a nightly basis. That's not sustainable, especially when they're neither a high volume attempt or a high volume make team from 3.HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers have a critical game against Detroit tonight.SEGMENT 2: What's the difference between "what's flawed" and "what's wrong?"SEGMENT 3: Go faster, Lakers!

Should Lunchbox be frustrated or just let it go? Aaron Rodgers is being called a cheater by the golfing world for his actions at Pebble Beach. Also Rodgers is going to do something something so stupid just to act like he's smarter than all of us. Tom Brady is heading to the broadcast booth but will he be any good? Plus LeBron makes history and one of his teammates didn't seem to care. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Bram Weinstein starts the show talking Aaron Rodgers and his unique 4 day experience he's about to embark on, then his decision whether he'll continue to play football or not. (26:36) Bram goes in to some NBA Trade deadline talk: Where Kyle Kuzma could be traded IF he gets moved. Plus: LeBron is 36 points away from passing Kareem, where he ranks all time including impact.

The stat line wasn't bad by any stretch - 32 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, only one turnover - but for the first time in a while LeBron looked kinda mortal, and definitely seemed to be showing signs of wear from carrying the Lakers in the absence of Anthony Davis. Particularly down the stretch, the legs and movement weren't really there and the Lakers had no real Plan B. So once again, bad late game execution turned a winnable game, one the Lakers were up huge in the first quarter, into a frustrating loss.116-111 was the final.The final five minutes were again a tire fire, featuring a parade of late-clock three-pointers and precious few actual points. Meanwhile, Sacramento, playing without star center Domantas Sabonis, found ways to get critical buckets when they were needed, whether from De'Aaron Fox (who routinely torches the Lakers these days) or Harrison Barnes (who wasn't efficient, but had a critical and-one along with a couple timely triples).After the game, Darvin Ham seemed conflicted. His default is to support his guys, to be optimistic, to talk about what was encouraging. He also seemed frustrated by their inability to pull out these "could have won" games. He seemed frustrated, too, at the ways in which health and the natural limitations of the roster is making it hard to find reliable, consistent lineup combinations.All of this plays into why the Lakers have struggled late, when good execution is harder but more necessary, but doesn't really help them. This is what the Lakers have, and they they must figure out ways to win some of these games. If these are the 48-minute versions of 50/50 balls, they're losing way too many of them.And it's not something, say, Cam Reddish is going to fix...HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers lose on Wednesday as LeBron finally looks tired (even while the numbers were there, save efficient shooting...)SEGMENT 2: The late-game execution continues to be awful. It's been this way all season, and Ham hasn't found a way to improve it.SEGMENT 3: This is the hand the Lakers have been dealt, and they have to figure out how to make it work.

The Lakers finish out the year with (stop us if you've heard this before) basically a must-win home game against a lousy Charlotte team tonight, then a very winnable road trip against Dallas (a .500 team), Orlando (a bad team), Miami (a .500 team), Atlanta (a .500 team) and Charlotte (as noted, lousy). Are they gonna sweep? Get swept? Split? No idea, but as far as NBA road trips go, this is about as favorable as they come.And the Lakers are getting a bit of good news, too. LeBron James and Russell Westbrook are expected to play tonight, and Austin Reaves has been upgraded to questionable. Maybe that means he needs another game, but it signals availability on Christmas, and through the road trip. And how the team fares will have a significant impact on its attitude about trades. Here, they have basically four options: Do something on the margins this year, maybe for an expendable contract and a second round pick, but nothing that sacrifices the big stuff or moves the needle all that much. Make a bigger deal (think Hield/Turner/Kuzma/Bogdanovic/etc.) that costs one or both first rounders, and also shapes the team for next year, too. Do nothing, and hold on to the summer, then use cap space to make trades, sign players, and otherwise try to improve around LeBron and Anthony Davis. Do nothing, and then decide you just need to blow it up, trading Davis and James in the offseason. All are fraught with peril! But decisions will need to be made, and one thing that could influence things? The NBA trade market is, currently, shaping up to be very tight, where the cost of guys like Bogdanovic will be high. Many potential buyers, not nearly as many potential sellers. And not all that many appealing players that we all know will be available.So how do the Lakers navigate all of this?HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: The Lakers get some decent injury updates for a change.SEGMENT 2: What options do the Lakers have for improving the team?SEGMENT 3: The NBA isn't cooperating, in terms of creating a market where the Lakers can maximize their assets without a ton of competition.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

On Thursday's show, it was time to review some of the street free agents the Lakers have brought into the building to get a look, and see if they'd be a fit somewhere on the roster for next season. Friday, it's a deeper look into the challenge of improving the team via free agency. Jovan Buha at The Athletic has a list of potential free agents, along with needs. But how many of the players who could make an impact would actually be available? Is it more important to find a player at a different position, or retain Malik Monk? And how about this for a hypothetical: Russell Westbrook (and likely some stuff) for Utah's Rudy Gobert, who has been the subject of trade rumors this week. Likely Utah feels they could do better (can't blame them) but are there any reasons the Lakers, or Lakers fans, would hesitate to add The Stifle Tower, who has DPOY potential on a yearly basis, but also has run into serious issues in the postseason and is owed eleventybillion dollars over the next few years? Finally, LeBron wants to own an NBA team, and he wants it to be in Vegas. That feels... like a very strong proposal. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Looking at potential free agents, and the challenge ahead for the Lakers. SEGMENT 2: Westbrook for Gobert? Who says no?

The last several days have not been kind to the Lakers. They've yet to win a preseason game. Trevor Ariza is out indefinitely after ankle surgery. Malik Monk is sidelined (albeit hopefully not for long) with a groin issue. And then came Monday's news that Talen Horton Tucker will require surgery to repair torn ligaments in his thumb. It's not yet known how long the recovery will take, but it goes without saying that the Lakers will be without their emerging young player for a sizable period.Beyond the loss of THT's individual skills, the Lakers are extremely low on dudes who could conceivably (much less credibly) play small forward. It's basically now LeBron James, Kent Bazemore... and crickets. This was already a thin position on the roster, but Rob Pelinka seemed content to keep the fifteenth roster spot open, rather than add some depth, Now that feels damn near impossible to justify. Whether James Ennis, Wes Matthews or whoever, the Lakers need a live body who can credibly play 10-15 minutes at the spot.On the positive side, Tuesday's preseason game against the Warriors should finally feature the long-awaited preseason debuts of LeBron, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook as a trio. What will the Kamenetzkys be watching for as we finally see what this looks like?Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: What is the trickledown effect of Talen Horton-Horton out for the foreseeable future?SEGMENT 2: More on THT's injury, plus the need to find another legit small forward option.SEGMENT 3: What to watch for when LeBron, AD and Russ take the floor together.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!SweatBlockGet it today for 20% off at SweatBlock.com with promo code LockedOn, or at Amazon and CVS.Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.

It's getting close to the draft and free agency, which makes it a great time for an examination of various implications with both for the Lakers! First, the Kamenetzkys scout guard Cam Thomas, an absolute scoring machine during his lone season at LSU, who's been linked to the Lakers in a few mock drafts. Just how talented of a scorer is this kid who averaged 23 ppg? What else, if anything, has he demonstrated capable of consistently doing other than get buckets? Is he ready to contribute now? The answers to these questions and more, courtesy of Matt Moscona (@MattMoscona), who covers all things LSU for Locked on LSU and ESPN Baton Rouge.From there, the Kamenetzkys discuss several recent articles predicting a slew of sign-and-trades once free agency kicks off, with the Lakers mentioned as a team that would at least want to be players. In particular, Dennis Schröder could be of interest around the league as a potential asset. The devil, however, is always in the details, and the Lakers' cap situation will make these types of deals quite difficult to pull off.Finally, LeBron James remains the most popular jersey in the league for fans, although several young players are nipping at his heels. What can be ascertained from this, whether in terms of the overall health of the NBA, but also the anticipation of LeBron's upcoming Space Jam reboot? The early reviews have been, well, bad. Will that matter in terms of viewership?Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Matt Moscana breaks down how the frosh phenom Cam Thomas could fit in with the Lakers.SEGMENT 2: How viable an option will sign-and-trades be for the Lakers when free agency starts, given how little wiggle room they'll have with the cap?SEGMENT 3: LeBron remains very, very popular among fans. Popular enough to get eyeballs on a Space Jam reboot? That remains to be seen.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
