During the latest episode of our All Lakers podcast, Alex Kirschenbaum and Noel Sanchez unpacked the most recent updates from the wide world of Los Angeles Lakers news.
With all this chatter surrounding a potential deal for two-time Chicago Bulls All-Star shooting guard Zach LaVine, who is very much on the trade market, we analyzed the possible fit on LA’s roster for the 6’5″ former UCLA swingman, and predicted what a hypothetical deal for his services could comprise. We also surveyed the rest of the league in searching for other moves that could improve the 9-7 Lakers’ current roster, including a pair of Toronto Raptors vets.
38-year-old 19-time All-Star LeBron James continues to be the focal point of LA’s offense to a borderline unhealthy degree.
We also took a look at the fit of 6’8″ Los Angeles shooting guard Cam Reddish, of whom Alex was not a fan, after he got promoted to a starting role in lieu of a demoted Austin Reaves. Since the recording of this pod, Reddish has suffered a groin injury. Second-year swingman Max Christie replaced him in LA’s most recent matchup, a 104-101 loss to the Dallas Mavericks.
