Summary

Earlier this week, we noted an interview done by our friend Trevor Lane of Lakers Nation fame with Taurean Prince in which Prince stated his hope that he's back with the team next season. He also talked about the team more broadly, reflecting on whether he believes they should try to run it back with continuity, or if the team needs big changes to contend. And while he's not exactly an impartial observer (continuity is a vote for bringing him back, after all) the question is legitimate. What kept the Lakers from more success? Are the ingredients there, so with better health, a little more luck and improved coaching, could the Lakers achieve more in a brutal Western Conference? Or do they need a more dramatic overhaul? If it's the latter, does that mean building up depth? Or would that mean getting another star to run with LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Depth might seem like the preferable play, but how do the Lakers do that with the assets they have available? How can they take existing depth and use it to get better players? Can they add without giving up too much stuff? And what problem areas ought to be targeted? Is it the need for a viable center? For a genuine defensive wing? The answers are not cut-and-dried, and may not make themselves obvious for Rob Pelinka as he moves through the offseason. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Continuity or change?
