When the Lakers signed Jaxson Hayes in 2023, it was in the wake of domestic violence charges that had been adjudicated by both the NBA and the legal system. The former took no action, and the latter handed down a punishment including probation that is still in effect. But there were no secrets or surprises, at least in theory, from the perspective of the Lakers. Whether the Lakers should sign any player with Hayes's history is a valid question—one this show discussed at length when he was brought in—but they made their choice, and in the words of Rob Pelinka did so after doing due diligence and talking to Hayes about it. Well on Sunday, the incident, which had seemed to fade from discussions about Hayes, was again making headlines as video it was published (including Ring cam footage from both inside and outside Hayes's house). In response, the NBA re-opened its investigation of Hayes. Why? It's hard to say. Very possibly, the league is checking to see if perhaps Hayes wasn't truthful in his dealings with them. If that's the case, the NBA will almost certainly hand down some sort of punishment. Or perhaps it's a matter of CYA, now that people can see the disturbing footage. In the short term, this likely won't impact the Lakers, who will almost surely allow Hayes to keep playing through the investigation, and (not that he was a super in-demand target anyway) keep him away from the media. But the news resurfaces the questions that rightly follow a team when they choose to add a domestic abuser to the payroll. Meanwhile, the Lakers are trying to figure out how to break Max Christie and Gabe Vincent out of their respective slumps. Could some of it involve changing when each is playing? Finally, Anthony Davis is getting more vocal as a leader. It's something the Lakers need. HOSTS: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: Jaxson Hayes is again under investigation.
