Should the Lakers be Considered 2024 Contenders? Plus, Kobe Bryant... Memphis Grizzly? Guest: Howard Beck!

Locked On Lakers - Daily Podcast On The Los Angeles Lakers - Ein Podcast von Locked On Podcast Network, Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

The NBA season is now over, which means the Lakers are officially figuring out how to top their recent Western Conference Finals appearance. This means taking stock in what was real, what was lightning in a bottle, and how to make the money work with whatever answers they come up with. LeBron James ain't getting any younger, Anthony Davis is always a risk for injury and the clock is ticking loudly. What are their best options moving forward? Do they include retaining Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimiura? (Will that be feasible if desired?) How good will the west be next season? Where do the Lakers stack up? These are the pressing questions during a critical offseason for Rob Pelina. All this, plus a wild story from Jerry West about Kobe Bryant, will be chopped up by longtime NBA scribe Howard Beck. HOST: Andy Kamenetzky, with guest Howard Beck SEGMENT 1: Where do the Lakers stack up against the NBA moving forward? SEGMENT 2: How competitive will the free agent market be for Austin Reaves and Rui Hachimura? SEGMENT 3: Jerry West shares a mind-boggling about an Earth Two possibility for the second half of Kobe's career... and Andy isn't buying it. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
