Is LeBron James Almost Back? Is Frank Vogel the Lakers' Biggest Offseason Priority?
Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - Ein Podcast von Locked On Podcast Network, Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowski reports that LeBron James is getting close to a return from his high ankle sprain, maybe hitting the court sometime this week. How quickly can James get his feet under him, and what does his return mean for guys like Dennis Schröder, who have thrived in outsized roles in his absence? Meanwhile, Woj also reports the Lakers will spend the summer putting together a contract extension for Frank Vogel. What has made Vogel, at best the team's third choice a couple summers ago, such a success? Finally, what's remarkable about the sale of a LeBron James rookie card for $5.2 million isn't the $5.2 million... HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: James is (almost) back. After Monday's game, Anthony Davis and Vogel spoke about the need for players like Schröder to stay aggressive once he's back, continuing to guide the offense and punish opponents when the opportunities present. If Schröder can keep up this level of play, what would it mean for LA's playoff hopes? SEGMENT 2: Vogel has been a rousing success for the Lakers. What has made the fit so good? SEGMENT 3: This week, a LeBron James rookie card sold for $5.2 million, which is an absurd amount of money. But what really sticks out? LeBron James was a rookie back in 2003 and has since dominated at a higher level for a longer period of time than any player before him. It's something we'll likely never see again.
