Postgame Show: Life without LeBron James Mar 22, 2021

Show notes

Following LeBron James' injury on Saturday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers began life without their top two stars on Sunday night on the road against the Phoenix Suns. While the undermanned Lakers fought to the finish, the Suns came away with a double-digit win in what was likely a precursor for the weeks to come for L.A. Having taken the rough weekend for fans, Anthony and Jacob sit down to discuss the post-LeBron life in Los Angeles while recapping Sunday's game. They look at what positives could come from the Lakers not having James and Davis for the foreseeable future (not many!) and how the team might play without them. Then, they discuss whether the injuries change the Lakers' mindset heading into the trade deadline that is just days away. Should the team look for someone to help in the short term? Should they stand pat and only target buyout guys? After that, the two step back and look at the league in a bigger sense. James' injury paired with that of LaMelo Ball's leads the two to question whether the league is acting in the best interest of the players and just how much is at risk for the league this season. They discuss the condensed schedule, the rash of injuries this season to marquee players and connect the dots between the two. Finally, Jacob offers a preview of the upcoming game against the New Orleans Pelicans in a contest that now has an entirely different feel to it without James and Davis.

Lakers, Explained: Why it's basically impossible to trade for P.J. Tucker Mar 16, 2021

Show notes

The Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, and we’re ready to break it down. On the latest episode of “Lakers, Explained” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — co-hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin dove into the game. First, both hosts wanted to apologize to Montrezl Harrell for underrating what he brings at times. He showed his value against the Warriors, and has made progress on defense lately. Then they praised Kyle Kuzma after the latest sign of his own improvements against Golden State. How much juice those two are giving the Lakers right now cannot be overstated. After all that, in the second half of the show, Harrison and Anthony got into why the Lakers making a trade for P.J. Tucker — they’re rumored to still be talking to the Rockets — work is a lot less likely than them adding him in the buyout market because of how complicated a deal would be. Plus, is such a deal even a good idea? Harrison broke down all the crazy level of machinations that would be required to make a trade that isn’t 1-for-1 work to outline how hard it would be for Rob Pelinka and the front office to get it done. And that goes for Tucker, or any of their other rumored targets. Finally, the two wrapped up the show by getting you ready for the second night of the back-to-back against an awful Minnesota Timberwolves by trying to get Anthony to name their coach and starting lineup. He did better than Charles Barkley does in “Who He Play For?”, but only marginally so. You can follow Harrison on Twitter at @hmfaigen, and Anthony @AnthonyIrwinLA. Learn more about your ad choices.
