Do Important Lakers Players Not Want Christian Wood? And Who's the Best fifth Starter? Rui? Vando? Prince?
Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - Ein Podcast von Locked On Podcast Network, Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
For a guy potentially slated to make a veteran's minimum deal, the final destination for free agent big man Christian Wood has garnered a lot of attention and rumor mill grist, much of connecting him to the Lakers, who are outwardly on the market for a forward/center. But has Wood, often regarded as an empty calories, me-first scorer, unwanted among the most important Lakers? According to what Lakers Nation's Trevor Lane (joined here by LN cohort Sean "Spaces" Davis) heard while in Vegas for Summer League.... Maybe?? While it wasn't clear exactly which Lakers are cold on the idea of Wood, that his presence could prompt mixed enthusiasm in the locker room is a big deal. Lane and Davis help chop up what it all means moving forward, and whether that apprehension could mean going in another direction. We also discuss the potential fifth starter alongside LeBron James, Anthony Davis, Austin Reaves and (most likely) D'Angelo Russell. Many are assuming Rui Hachimura, with his new sizable contract and scoring skills, is the frontrunner, but is there a case to be made for Jarred Vanderbilt or Taurean Prince? Plus, Davis found an interesting stat about the history of NBA championship defense that could underscore the Denver Nuggets as a vulnerable defending champ. What does that mean for the Lakers, who lost to the Nuggets in the conference finals? Host: Andy Kamenetzky, with Guests Trevor Lane and Sean "Spaces" Davis. Segment 1: Are there important Lakers who don't want Christian Wood? How much should that matter? Segment 2: Who's the ideal fifth starter? Segment 3: Is Denver vulnerable against a repeat, and why?
