Locked On hosts covering the Los Angeles Lakers, Miami Heat, and Cleveland Cavaliers react to Lebron’s career and this accomplishment. Brian Kamenetzky joins Chris Manning @LockedOnCavs and Wes Goldberg @LockedOnHeat to discuss LeBron James breaking the All-Time scoring record and what this accomplishment means to his career...
The Lakers didn't acquire Kyrie Irving from the Brooklyn Nets. Instead, he's going to Dallas. Whether they missed out, lucked out, or just behaved prudently depends on your POV, but one guy who clearly hoped Irving would end up in Los Angeles? LeBron James. His frustration was clear over social media on Sunday...
It's on to the next for LeBron... but he clearly still wants help.
The should they/shouldn't they debate around the Lakers barely had a chance to get going before news came Sunday that the Nets were trading Kyrie Irving to the Mavericks for Dorian Finney-Smith, Spencer Dinwiddie and picks.

What they haven't done much this year is win games they really had no business winning. Finding a way, grinding it out, and getting just enough great play in the critical moments to succeed...
