Lakers Players Want to "Run It Back." Is That a Good Sign for Next Year?

Friday's exit interviews were the last bit of closure for the Lakers' season. There was a lot of disappointment expressed over the way things wrapped up, but to nearly a man there was also excitement at the prospect of running it back with the same roster next season, and addressing this year's unfinished business. Along these lines, interesting comments from Dennis Schröder and Montrezl Harrell. From there, how might Lakers fans react to seeing the Clippers advance in the playoffs while the purple and gold sit at home. Plus, Lakers assistant coach Jason Kidd gets wooed for another gig... and turns it down. Does it mean he's angling for a local job? Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: During Friday's exit interviews, many Lakers expressed a desire to, as Wes Matthews put it, "run it back" next season. Among them was Schröder, whose enthusiasm was intriguing, if a reminder of how hard he is to get a bead on. SEGMENT 2: There was one Laker, however, who didn't seem enthused at coming back, even though he also seemed to recognize that he might need to. The Kamenetzkys discuss Harrell's exit interview. SEGMENT 3: As a Laker fan, would you rather see the Clippers remain good so an epic Hallway Series with the Lakers will finally happen... or continually flame out and disappoint because the jokes are just too fun? Also, what to make of Kidd declining Damian Lillard's public lobbying become Portland's head coach? Does this hint at any insecurity for Frank Vogel? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
