Nick Young the Hero, Randle's Upside, R&R HOF, and Kwame!
The Lakers (and every other NBA team) are just about ready to kick off the 2016-17 season. Sweet! So what to watch for?
After the big headlines of the day, including stories of Melo-as-activist and an admission from Kevin Durant about what motivated his move to Golden State -- we break down this year's NBA.com GM Survey. What are the surprises? What do GM's say about the Lakers, and Luke Walton?
From there... it's Nick Young. Because he's the most surprising story of training camp, and it's really not close. After, we take a look at Julius Randle, probably the most "controversial" Lakers young 'un, insofar as future projections are concerned. How good to opposing scouts think he is?
Finally, we cap this week's episode with our yearly look at the newest nominees to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame... and hand out a statue to Kwame Brown!
