Summary

With the offseason winding down and the trades of any real substance presumably done, we're able to take stock of where the Lakers stand against teams around the Western Conference, and even more specifically, their division. How, for example, do the battle-tested but aging duo of LeBron James and Anthony Davis stack up against a talented Sacramento Kings squad led by De'Aaron Fox, Domantas Sabonis, old friend Malik Monk, and new foe DeMar DeRozan, who'd been linked to the Lakers during the offseason before the Chicago Bulls worked out a sign-and-trade sending the Compton native to Sacto. Among the topics discussed: The strength of the Pacific Division Should the Suns, Lakers, Kings, Clippers or Warriors be considered strong contenders? The importance of strong starts for both teamsDeRozan's impact Austin Reaves' ceiling (Also, a technical issue with the podcast software prevented Andy from using his laptop while recording the show, so he instead had to use his phone. Apologies for a different look and slightly different sound.) HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with guest Matt George (Locked on Kings) SEGMENT 1: How Good is the Pacific Division? SEGMENT 2: How Much will DeRozan Help the Kings? SEGMENT 3: Can Austin Reaves become a third star?

0:00.0	Welcome to Lockdown Lakers for a Thursday, Andy Kamenetski with special guest, Matt George from
0:05.3	Lockdown Kings. How do the Lakers and Kings stack up against each other and the rest of the
0:11.6	Pacific Division? That's coming up next. You are locked on Lakers. Your daily Los Angeles Lakers podcast, part of the
0:25.4	locked on Podcast Network, your team every day. I don't know if divisions matter in basketball other than the fact that you're
0:34.5	guaranteed to play your divisional opponent four times two times at home and
0:38.9	two times it away but we're going to pretend that they matter here on the
0:42.3	lockdown podcast network starting a series of
0:45.2	Pacific Division previews and we got to start with to one organization it's always
0:51.4	going to be a rivalry to the other organization it hasn't been a
0:54.2	rivalry in over 20 years we're talking about the Sacramento Kings and the Los Angeles
0:58.5	Lakers happy to have Andy Kamenetsky one of the great hosts of the Lockton Lakers Podcast here with me, Matt George, for
1:05.7	locked on Kings. Andy, I'm sure you're aware by now the schedule drops and the Kings and Lakers play each other four times in the first at least
1:16.9	32 games for the Sacramento Kings. It might be 32 or 33 for the LA Lakers, including back to back games against each other in Sacramento in December.
1:27.4	So our teams are going to see each other quite a lot to open up this season and then not at all for the rest of the year.

1:46.2	A division by the way, Matt, I'm curious what you think, but you know, there's no such thing as an easy ride in the west because it's just too difficult but as far as divisions go
