Summary

The Big Three for the Lakers are undoubtedly a strong group. Luka is playing at an MVP level, Austin Reaves was a lock for an All-Star nod before he got hurt, and LeBron James made the team as a reserve. Unfortunately, they've played a grand total of 152 minutes together in the 2025-26 season. Which is two minutes more than Drew Timme, two-way player who hasn't been on the team for the entire season, has played for the Lakers. When games start again on Friday, the hope is that finally the Big Three can start gaining meaningful chemistry on the floor. The Lakers coaching staff can begin making meaningful gains in understanding the best ways to deploy them, and with whom. Because it's not just about the Lakers reaching their ceiling, but raising their floor. They really, really need to raise their floor, if they want to make a run in the West. Meanwhile, LeBron James gave few clues about his future during All-Star weekend. Does he want a farewell tour? Does he not? And more importantly, does the possibility of a farewell tour make it less likely for the Lakers to bring him back? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers have a continuity problem. SEGMENT 2: Do the Lakers have enough time to make the Big Three as potent as possible? SEGMENT 3: Does LeBron want a farewell tour? Would the Lakers want to host it?
