Harrell and Drummond Take Shots at Vogel. One is Definitely Serious. The Other is Definitely Selling NFT's.
Andre Drummond and Montrezl Harrell, the former a free agent to be and the latter potentially so, both made recent headlines with what appeared to be swipes at Frank Vogel on social media. Drummond claims he was intentionally making headlines to help promote his new NFT's, and didn't mean any of it. Whether sincere or not, the stakes with Drummond's theoretical unhappiness are fairly low, because he might not be back even if he were totally pleased with time in L.A. Either way, he's selling the hell out these NFT's, and they'll need all the help he can provide.
Harrell, however, can exercise a player option to return next season, and might need to do from a financial standpoint, even if he's not thrilled to return. While Harrell is obviously a quality NBA player, how he views himself and how the rest of the world sees him may be significantly different. Given how much Harrell wears his emotions on his sleeve and the likelihood that his role next year will likely remain exactly the same, could this be a problem waiting to happen?
Finally, the shooting coach known as Lethal Shooter (@LethalShooter__), who works with many NBA players, has been raising among Laker fans of late for seemingly combining drills and post-apocalyptic gadgetry. Admittedly, the Kamenetzkys would LOVE to see a version of basketball that involves spiked rims and revolving hoops, we're not sure what any of this has to do with developing great mechanics.
Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
SEGMENT 1: Now that he has your attention, how much would you pay for a certain seven-footer's NFT, which in certain cases are packaged as part of a larger "Andre Drummond" experience? (Hint: He expects the answer to be "a lot.")
SEGMENT 2: On one hand, Harrell has a definitive role on next year's Lakers. On the other hand, he's seemed increasingly dissatisfied with that role. Even with a nice 2021 salary, would opting into it be the right choice, financially and for his own happiness?
SEGMENT 3: Lethal Shooter has some Laker fans concerned.... and the Kamenetzkys kinda get it.
