Summary

There will be no give backs when it comes to this version of Luka's 16th tech. He is suspended and will miss Monday's game against the Wizards. This shouldn't be a problem, because Washington is terrible. And they're also not trying to win. Like, nobody goes home happy if the Wizards pull the upset at the Crypt... including the Wizards. So taking care of business for the Lakers even without Luka is not something that should at all be a worry. More troublesome? Marcus Smart will miss his fourth straight game with an ankle injury that hasn't really been explained all that much by the Lakers. And while we're still three weeks away from the postseason, the sheer indespensableness of Smart makes this injury a concern. The Lakers are going to struggle mightily to win the first round, and then pull an upset in the second, without him. Finally, Golden State is emerging as a possible landing spot for LeBron James should he leave the Lakers... but why? Does it make sense? What is really happening when people have these conversations? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers won't have Luka on Monday. SEGMENT 2: Why Smart's health is critical. SEGMENT 3: LeBron to GSW?

Thanks to everybody for joining us on Locked on Lakers. I'm Brian Komenetsky with Andy Kamenetsky.

0:32.1

Plenty to talk about for this show for a Monday, including rumors about where LeBron might end up next year.

0:40.4

But first, Andy, we got to talk about Monday night's big game against the Washington Wizards,

0:45.9

who, by the way, will be visiting on the second night of a back-to-back, making this game

0:50.5

theoretically more lopsided, even with the absences that the Lakers will feel in this one,

0:58.1

we'll start with the big one. Luca Donchich will not play. The 16th technical foul that he

1:04.0

picked up on Friday was not rescinded. He gets to keep it. Much as you and I both suspected,

1:13.1

so he will not play on Monday.

1:14.4

He is suspended.

1:16.3

Yeah, it would have honestly been shocking

1:18.5

if the league had rescinded this 16th technical,

1:22.4

a bit of a dust up with him and Zaire Williams.

1:25.5

It was not in the grand scheme of dustups particularly

1:29.0

big but there was physical contact between both of them initiated on both sides luca gave

1:36.2

zaire a bit of a shove before luka ultimately took more contact than he dished out but when stuff

1:43.7

like that happens typically those texts are not rescinded.

1:48.0

And when it happens to be the 16th tech, what, like a week or something removed from the previous 16th?
