Summary

The disappointment with missing out on Gary Trent Jr. for a minimum contract continued into Wednesday, at least on the show's YouTube page. Beyond all the contextual reasons why Trent might choose the Bucks over the Lakers -- cleaner fit, bigger role, chemistry with Dame, etc. -- there is a feeling that the Lakers simply can't lure players the way they used to. But is that history actually real, or is it more mythology? Certainly there's a lot of the latter. So what does that mean about how the Lakers have to do stuff? About how fans think of these moments where the Lakers and the front office can't close a deal? There's always been a belief that the Lakers are, based on the brand, a preferred destination for free agents big and small. But is that true? Has it ever really been true, at least in what we'd consider the modern era? If it's not true, how do the Lakers respond? Meanwhile, JJ Redick says the Lakers are looking for a "big, bruising center," indicating both that the team isn't super happy with the Christian Wood/Jaxson Hayes backup situation, and that they may be reserving whatever roster spot they can open up for this type of player... as opposed to someone like Trent Jr.. The Summer Lakers won behind good games from Colin Castleton and Bronny James. Something to look forward to following Thursday's game. Could they win two in a row?
