Summary
The Lakers have a lot of work to do this offseason, and have neither a great range of tools at their disposal, nor a great group of free agents who might be available to sign. And after being promised some significant action this offseason, many fans are noticing the potential issues, here. And that leads to our mailbag questions for today from @socioisbackapparently661 and @ScottSemple-vr2qo, both of whom are essentially asking a question that might seem crazy to most Lakers fans, who have been waiting for big, bold moves for a few trade cycles: Would the Lakers be better off kicking the can down the road one more year? Finally, we tackle one more Q, from @dailyromznation615, who wonders if a sign and trade with the Clippers sending Austin Reaves to Inglewood in exchange for Kawhi Leonard would make sense. A bold proposal for sure! HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky Everydayer ClubIf you never miss an episode, it’s time to make it official.
