Summary

Sitting three games under .500, there are only a couple ways for the Lakers to improve as a team over the final 30ish games of the season. First, get everyone back on the floor and playing together. Specifically, LeBron James with Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, and see if the team can harness enough star power to paper over their other issues. The second? Make moves ahead of the February 10th trade deadline. Virtually every path to a consequential player starts with forward Talen Horton-Tucker. Like most things associated with the team this year, THT hasn't exactly been horrible, but he's definitely not hit the more optimistic projections, and certainly hasn't filled the role of a consistent contributor in ways the Lakers have needed. So how much does all of that impact his trade value? Why might teams want him? Why might they not? How did last offseason potentially paint the Lakers into a corner now, in terms of maximizing THT's value? From there, listeners have questions regarding Frank Vogel, left on the Locked On Lakers YouTube channel. Specifically, is the media too easy on the guy? How much blame for what's gone wrong does he deserve? Would another coach get better results? Is he getting enough from his roster, even if that roster has significant flaws? HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky SEGMENT 1: The Lakers need to get better. The trade market is one avenue available, but it's a pretty narrow one for them. SEGMENT 2: Just how tradeable is Talen Horton-Tucker? SEGMENT 3: Is the media too easy on Frank Vogel? Is the guy getting a pass from "the media" for everything that's gone wrong this season?
