Will the Lakers do any Sign-and-Trades? Plus, LeBron's Space Jam, and Scouting LSU G Cam Thomas with Matt Moscona!
It's getting close to the draft and free agency, which makes it a great time for an examination of various implications with both for the Lakers! First, the Kamenetzkys scout guard Cam Thomas, an absolute scoring machine during his lone season at LSU, who's been linked to the Lakers in a few mock drafts. Just how talented of a scorer is this kid who averaged 23 ppg? What else, if anything, has he demonstrated capable of consistently doing other than get buckets? Is he ready to contribute now? The answers to these questions and more, courtesy of Matt Moscona (@MattMoscona), who covers all things LSU for Locked on LSU and ESPN Baton Rouge.
From there, the Kamenetzkys discuss several recent articles predicting a slew of sign-and-trades once free agency kicks off, with the Lakers mentioned as a team that would at least want to be players. In particular, Dennis Schröder could be of interest around the league as a potential asset. The devil, however, is always in the details, and the Lakers' cap situation will make these types of deals quite difficult to pull off.
Finally, LeBron James remains the most popular jersey in the league for fans, although several young players are nipping at his heels. What can be ascertained from this, whether in terms of the overall health of the NBA, but also the anticipation of LeBron's upcoming Space Jam reboot? The early reviews have been, well, bad. Will that matter in terms of viewership?
Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky
SEGMENT 1: Matt Moscana breaks down how the frosh phenom Cam Thomas could fit in with the Lakers.
SEGMENT 2: How viable an option will sign-and-trades be for the Lakers when free agency starts, given how little wiggle room they'll have with the cap?
SEGMENT 3: LeBron remains very, very popular among fans. Popular enough to get eyeballs on a Space Jam reboot? That remains to be seen.
