The Athletic's Los Angeles Lakers podcast channel brings you Lakers' beat reporters Bill Oram and Jovan Buha along with Anthony Slater discussing the biggest Lakers games of the season and postgame coverage.
Just when you thought the waters had calmed down on the Kyrie Irving front... they are once again churning, and churning hard. According to The Athletic's Shams Charania and others, Irving has asked to be traded ahead of next week's trade deadline. Or, he says, he won't be resigning with the Nets this offseason, and they'll be left with nothing. So…

It's an exciting time to be a Lakers fan. It's an even more exciting time to be a LeBron James fan. As of this writing he is 89 points away from becoming the number 1 all-time leading scorer in the NBA, passing fellow Laker Legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar! JC goes in on this solo episode to tackle that story as well as more Lakers trade rumors, and how'…
The Lakers have lost plenty of games this season that they ought to have won. They've lost a couple of games they should have won, if not for some unfortunate calls at the end of games. 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 cr…

The Lakers take on Indiana tonight, looking to win a second straight game and set the table for a 3-2 finish to the road trip that started with so much frustration in Boston. But while there's plenty of focus on the team's record, there's also a lot of attention on the team's star. LeBron James is about a week away from passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar …
Anthony recaps a huge win in New York against the Knicks. LeBron was as efficient as he's been yet they won anyway. That seems big. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesOleh SB Nation
By electing to sit both Anthony Davis and LeBron James Monday in Brooklyn, the Lakers were essentially putting all their eggs in Tuesday's basket, turning their game against the Knicks into a must-win type game. And win they did, though it wasn't easy. (It never is.) 129-123 was the final score, as the Lakers topped the Knicks in overtime behind 28…
The Lakers are faced with a genuine Catch-22. They may not be able to make the playoffs without pushing Anthony Davis and LeBron James past safe limits of physical output, but if the org pushes them past those limits either or both are likely to get hurt, in which case they'll miss the playoffs. This was the issue facing the Lakers Monday in Brookl…
Anthony quickly breaks down yet another disappointing game from Darvin Ham. Then, he awkwardly segues to where we've been this last week or so and updates you on what the deal might be moving forward. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesOleh SB Nation
The Lakers were still stinging Sunday from the happenings at the end of Saturday's loss in Boston, and the egregious non-call on a last-second layup attempt from LeBron James, in which he was obviously fouled. But the refs missed it. They acknowledged that they missed it after the game, and even sent out another apology on the official NBA Official…
The Lakers have faced an uphill battle to put the season back on the rails after starting the year 2-10. To their credit, they've fought hard, developed a culture and played decent ball since (four games over .500), despite losing LeBron James and Anthony Davis at different points to injury. They've blown some very winnable games. That's on them. B…
Thursday's show was centered largely around a lineup choice Darvin Ham made against San Antonio that Lakers fans find particularly irksome, namely playing Dennis Schroder, Russell Westbrook and Pat Beverley at the same time. Three guards? Not necessarily a problem. THOSE three? A problem. In the comments of the YouTube section, many listeners/viewe…
For all the excitement about getting Anthony Davis back in the lineup, and for putting newly acquired forward Rui Hachimura into it, there was still the grind-of-the-NBA nature of Wednesday's game. It was the second night of a back-to-back, against a lousy and slumping San Antonio team that has done precious little winning of late. It's not unusual…
The Lakers took the court Tuesday vs. the Clippers on a high from Monday's epic comeback, and with some excitement following the deal to acquire Rui Hachimura from Washington. But the Clippers came into the game feeling pretty good about themselves, too, and are getting healthy fast. And for the 10th straight time, the LAC beat the Lakers, burying …
Rui Hachimura, come on down! Rob Pelinka must have found some Zen Master magic dust up in Jeannie Buss’s office, because there’s no way this happened without divine intervention. The Lakers are again on the upswing, LeBron is beating down history’s door, and Anthony Davis is poised to rejoin the club in the coming days. With two big wins in the bag…
The Lakers made the first notable trade of tradin' season Monday, acquiring Washington forward Rui Hachimura for three second round draft picks, plus guard Kendrick Nunn. We covered a lot of what Hachimura brings to the table in a special bonus episode of the podcast Monday afternoon, but to summarize: Hachimura brings much more balance to the rota…
With the Lakers showing real signs of life through major adversity following the disastrous 2-10 start, fans (and players, surely) have been hoping the front office would come through with some help for a roster of game-but-limited guys? For LeBron James, who has been balling out to keep the team afloat in the absence of Anthony Davis? Especially n…
They always say that basketball is a game of runs. The Lakers and Blazers took that to some serious extremes Sunday night in Portland. The Lakers got out to an 18-4 lead, and were then outscored 57-28 over the rest of the half, including 45-13 in the second quarter, the worst Q2 point differential in franchise history. LA came out of halftime, thou…
One thing that's been evident this season that was sorely lacking last season was good old fashioned effort. Times have been tough but this year's Lakers team has competed. That resilience showed on Friday night as they staged a late 4th quarter comeback vs the young Memphis Grizzlies, 2nd seed in the West. JC takes you through a solo edition as he…
Say what you want about the Lakers this season, about Darvin Ham's coaching, about Westbrook's efficiency, LeBron's 3-point shooting or anything else - they do not quit on games, even after a series of heartbreaking and often frustrating losses. Friday at home against Memphis, winners of 11 straight games, that resolve was on full display. Because …

Trade season is starting to heat up, and while the Lakers aren't currently at the center of any big rumors (no, Cam Reddish chatter doesn't count), they're generally expected to do something in one form or another before the deadline. Because, if nothing else, they're the Lakers and under a ton of pressure to at least give the appearance of trying …
The Lakers keep forcing us to watch the same damn movie over and over again. Maybe try something different. Whether it's personnel, approach, or whatever... this clearly isn't working. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoicesOleh SB Nation
The stat line wasn't bad by any stretch - 32 points, eight rebounds, nine assists, only one turnover - but for the first time in a while LeBron looked kinda mortal, and definitely seemed to be showing signs of wear from carrying the Lakers in the absence of Anthony Davis. Particularly down the stretch, the legs and movement weren't really there and…

The trade deadline is not all that far off, and at the least, Trade Chatter Season is well underway. Which is why it's so strange that a few recent reports about the current state of the market didn't just say the Lakers were, for the time being, quiet. They just kind of skipped the Lakers altogether. That's an unusual spot for LA to be, because th…
