The Lakers navigated the entire summer with a sense of something yet to come, particularly when it came to Russell Westbrook. But that inevitably never came true and the Lakers head into Monday’s media day in an awkward situation of having to explain a summer of attempted trades.
On this week’s episode of “Can U Dig It,” a podcast by the Silver Screen & Roll network, I’m joined by Raj Chipalu to preview Monday’s media day and the questions they’ll have to navigate. For one, the general idea that Westbrook is on the team is a wonder considering how he ended the season and how hard the team tried to trade him as well.
