Summary

The Lakers have long maintained that Anthony Davis would be the core of the team once LeBron James hangs it up. They've certainly made the financial investment to back it up. But in this week's mailbag, this question came up: From "@killluhmuhnjaroh: should the lakers post lebron rebuild include anthony davis? he is young enough to be a franchise player for a couple more years but there’s something to be said about bottoming out and starting completely fresh in a way the lakers haven’t really done (for long enough or successfully enough)?" It's an interesting question that prompts a million different questions. How good are the Lakers when LeBron hangs it up? When is he going to actually do that? How old is Davis? How good are guys like Knecht, Reaves and Christie, and even someone like Bronny? What does their cap situation look like at that point? Would Lakers fans tolerate a total teardown? What could the Lakers presumably get for Davis if they decided to move forward without him? It's a lot to consider, without any real clear paths forward. It doesn't get any easier for Rob Pelinka and Co. once James rides into the sunset. Plus... are Dwight Howard and Phil Handy engaging in revisionist history, or did they hit the nail on the head in their criticisms of LA's choices following the title year? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Should the Lakers cut ties with AD when LeBron calls it quits? SEGMENT 2: Why this is a very complex question. SEGMENT 3: Revisionist history or missed opportunities? For your next listen, check out the Locked On NBA podcast, where the season never ends providing national expertise with a local perspective.
