Summary

The Lakers have a million different directions they can go this offseason, even without having tons of tradable contracts or massive amounts of draft capital. Want to create more cap space? Let guys like LeBron and Rui Hachimura go, and Luke Kennard while they're at it. Want to (more or less) run it back? That's easy enough to facilitate. Maybe Austin Reaves stays, and LeBron goes? So when you think about the ways this could go, there is some wiggle room available to dream a little. So if you could put the thing together in the best possible way, what would it look like? What's the right price for Rui? What should they do at center? We ask big questions like these to special guest Raj Chipalu, of Lakers Today on YouTube (plus Offside and Silver Screen and Roll). What would he do this offseason, if he could wave a magic wand? Plus, Raj's thoughts on the season that was. HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: What we learned, and didn't learn, from last year. SEGMENT 2: What does a successful offseason look like? SEGMENT 3: What can the Lakers do?
