The Trade Deadline may be done, but the new-look Lakers are not yet completed, and with LeBron James sitting out the game with a sore ankle, the task looked tall facing Giannis Antetokounmpo and the Milwaukee Bucks. After a strong first half, the depleted Lakers couldn’t stop Giannis in the third quarter as they ended up cruising over LA 115-106. Tune in as Joe Soro from lakersball.com/SynBlades.com, “MagicMan” Sean Grice, and Gerald Glassford from the Lakers Fast Break share thoughts on the game, how the new pieces will help when they become eligible on Saturday, try to figure out what’s wrong with AD, and how tough the task is with this continual load management. The mountain just got a little higher to climb on our latest Lakers Fast Break podcast!

Great to have good things to discuss during podcast, although Gerald is still withholding approval of Rob’s noves until the end of the season. Those glass-half-empty guys, what can you say?
I’d say I see the forest from the trees. The team with these moves is headed in a better direction, but two seasons of bad moves cannot be undone in 24 hours, Tom. This team is in the state it’s in due to poor evaluation at the very top. This is a type of team that should have been constructed (or kept) like this after the 2020 run. Just the fact Westbrook cost us two first-round picks we’ll never get back (unless we trade AD) should justify my unwillingness to bend over and kiss Robn’s feet because he finally started to do his job correctly. The Lakers will still have to 15-10 just to get .500 and they are still not good enough for a title run, especially with the health concerns for Lebron and AD. We’ll see how this team finishes the season before any glad-handing Rob should be done. And his future should still be questioned especially if Bob Myers, a much more proven GM becomes available.
