Summary
The Lakers lost to the Kings on Wednesday night in a game that reminded of too many other nights over the past three seasons where injuries and player availability left the team without enough talent to win. Pete and Darius have a therapy session of sorts, discussing the Lakers recent run of injuries, the roster building philosophies that make dealing with these challenges harder, and how they think it should impact the team's approach to the trade market over the next couple of months.
