Summary

Tuesday in El Segundo, the Lakers braintrust laid out some of the big organizational priorities going forward. Things like building meaningful depth - the kind that's modeled after teams like OKC and San Antonio, even if that standard isn't immediately reachable. They want to improve player development. And they want the organizational infrastructure to improve. Now, the latter has a lot to do with new owner Mark Walter, who is quickly implementing the Dodgers blueprint at the Lakers facility. That's going to mean better medical, training and rehab capabilities, as well as more personnel in important places. All of it will help the Lakers leverage the franchise's vast wealth in ways casual fans probably assumed they were already... but weren't. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: How JJ Redick views depth. SEGMENT 2: Player development, too? SEGMENT 3: The Lakers are getting Dodgerfied!

0:17.1	Your daily Los Angeles Lakers podcast, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day.
0:26.3	Thanks to everybody for stopping by Lockdown Lakers, Brian Komenetsky, Andy Komenetsky, the offseason is upon us.
0:32.2	And Rob Polinka and JJ Redick honored the occasion by meeting with the media and their exit interviews on Tuesday.
0:40.0	We talked a lot about that for the short show.
0:42.7	We did a live show on Tuesday afternoon, but still plenty more to unpack from that conversation
0:49.3	as we start to get into the nuts and bolts of what should be a very busy and will undoubtedly be a very
0:58.2	consequential offseason in one way or another. So things we want to get into today, the priorities
1:07.1	that they said, whether you're talking about depth, whether you're talking about
1:11.2	player development, organizational development, what I call the dodgerification of the Lakers,
1:17.6	which we're already seeing signs of from that interview. So plenty of things to look at.
1:23.8	I mean, I thought one of the most interesting, especially coming off the Thunder series, Andy, was this idea of building real depth in ways that go beyond just having, you know, nine playable guys, which is a lot of times how that gets defined.
1:41.3	I think what we learned over the course of the season, and JJ reinforced this on Tuesday is you need 12 or 13 playable guys that you're confident
1:50.0	because either you need to mix and match, you need to have different responses to different
1:54.5	situations, or you might find that four or five of them are hurt anyway.
1:59.3	So that clearly is a big organizational goal.
2:04.5	When JJ talked about this during the exit interview,
2:07.7	he was actually asked a question about depth through the prism of,
2:12.4	would this potentially lead to you playing a longer rotation a la what mark dagnell did with the thunder in
2:20.8	the second round series that we just concluded and jj said quote i don't necessarily view depth
