• Deandre Ayton Scouting Report! Will the New Lakers Center Thrive After Disappointment In Portland?

  Deandre Ayton has been a polarizing center since nearly the moment the former first overall pick began his NBA career. While the raw talent is undisputed (and to be fair, often on display), questions about Ayton's desire, professionalism, and true passion for the game have dogged him for years. He's also been a regular scapegoat for underwhelming seasons taking place while he was a member of the Phoenix Suns and Portland Trail Blazers. Is this fair? Unfair? A bit of both?To get a better idea of Ayton as a player, a person, and a professional basketball employee, Andy talked with guests Mike Richman (Locked On Blazers) and Sean Highkin (The Rose Garden Report), both of whom have covered the team for many years and had a front row seat for the center's time in Portland.Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with special guests Mike Richman  (Locked On Blazers) and Sean Highkin (The Rose Garden Report)Segment 1: Mike Richman talks Ayton.Segment 2: More with Mike Richman.Segment 3: Sean Highkin talks Ayton. Support us by supporting our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

• Lakers Offseason Breakdown! Good Free Agency Work for Rob Pelinka?

  July is nearing a close, which makes it a good time to take stock of the work Rob Pelinka has done since free agency began. Has the Lakers' roster sufficiently improved when evaluated against realistic expectations? What moves could (or should) Pelinka have made instead of adding (thus far) Deandre Ayton, Marcus Smart, Jake LaRavia, Adou Thiero, and (a re-signed) Jaxson Hayes? Does his approach offer room for more growth and (just as importantly) creativity? To discuss this and more (including the case for LeBron James being best situated to win a title by staying in L.A.), Andy welcomes Harrison Faigen (SBNation, Silver Screen and Roll). Segment 1: Evaluating Rob Pelinka's offseason Segment 2: More on Pelinka's moves, plus the whole "2027 plan" reports. Segment 3: Andy and Harrison discuss why LeBron's best chance at winning a title may be with the Lakers.) Monarch Money Take control of your finances with Monarch Money.

• JAKE LARAVIA SCOUTING REPORT! How will LaRavia FIT WITH THE LAKERS?

  Jake LaRavia isn't a particularly well-established NBA commodity, between his previous stints with two smaller-market teams (the Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings), his inconsistent first two seasons in the league, and a lack of star status. But the role player potentially brings some important skill sets and attributes to the Lakers, and is being counted on to play a key role in the rotation next season. To break down LaRavia's strengths, weaknesses, and fit with the Lakers, Andy spoke with Joe Mullinax (Locked On Grizzlies) and Matt George (Locked On Kings)Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with special guests Joe Mullinax (Locked On Grizzlies) and Matt George (Locked On Kings) Segment 1: Joe Mullinax's thoughts on LaRavia.Segment 2: Matt George's thoughts on LaRaviaSegment 3: Andy reacts to their scouting reports, plus offers a commonality between LaRavia, Rui Hachimura and Deandre Ayton.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

• More on Lakers and Marcus Smart. Goodwin, Milton Waived. More Moves Coming?

  The Kamenetzky Brothers further discuss how the Lakers will benefit from the imminent signing of defensive guard Marcus Smart, whether he'll enter the starting lineup, and other areas where his presence will make an impact. Of course, creating cap space for Smart meant waiving Shake Milton and Jordan Goodwin, the latter of whom may be periodically missed next season. Was this a reasonable cost of doing business? Plus, a good summer for Rob Pelinka? Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySegment 1: More thoughts on Marcus Smart. Will he potentially start?Segment 2: Did it make sense to waive Goodwin to create the space for Smart?Segment 3: More on Smart's place in the lineup. Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Monarch MoneyTake control of your finances with Monarch Money.

Finally, the expected buyout has been agreed upon, and Shams Charania, Marc Stein, and others are reporting that Smart will sign with the Lakers once clearing waivers.What will Smart bring to the Lakers? And what does it mean Luka Dončić reportedly helped recruit Smart?
