Summary

Anthony Davis made news on Friday, agreeing to a three-year, $186 million extension with the Lakers that will keep him with the team—or at least under contract with the team—for the next five seasons. What is the impact for the team? How does the size of the deal, and the numbers that get published around it, reflect changes in the CBA and cost structure of the league that fans (and media) have to get used to? These are some of the questions kicked around with Aaron Larsuel, host of the Official Lakers Podcast and All Access Lakers on Playback. In this episode, we get deep into Davis. Was the extension the right play for him? For the Lakers? What are the risks involved for both parties, and how might each come out ahead? Is he the right kind of player in which to make this sort of investment? And from there, is Davis treated differently than other superstars around the league? Do we move the goalposts for him, relative to other stars, more frequently? If so, why? It's an Anthony Davis deep dive, as Aaron joins for the first of two shows, with Andy on vacation. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky (Guest, Aaron Larsuel) SEGMENT 1: The AD extension. Good move for the Lakers? Certainly they didn't waste any time. SEGMENT 2: What kind of player should teams be investing in? SEGMENT 3: Do we move the goalposts too much on AD? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
