Summary

Continuing Monday's conversation about the "Jason Kidd to Portland" scenario that Kidd himself quickly ended, the Kamenetzkys discuss the latest Twitter conspiracy theory - that Kidd said no because he wants a better gig... one belonging to Frank Vogel. Is L.A.'s head coach in any danger following a first round flame out? Should there be any trepidation about committing long-term to Vogel, who is entering the final year of his contract? From there, a look back at the decision not to trade (reportedly) Dennis Schröder, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and Talen Horton-Tucker for Kyle Lowry. Whether for the 2021 season or the ones ahead, was this a mistake? And finally, Monday's show was all about enthusiam from Lakers players about running it back next year with the same crew, attending to unfinished business. They're enthusiastic about it, but should Lakers management be as excited? Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: Did the Lakers' early exit change any perceptions about Vogel as a long-term fit for the Lakers? Were any weaknesses exposed? SEGMENT 2: Would the Lakers have been better in the playoffs and/or moving forward if they'd pulled the trigger on the Lowry deal? SEGMENT 3: Several Lakers expressed confidence in their ability to run it back and, health permitted, win a title next season. Are they right? Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!
