The Lakers Legacy Podcast

 It's that time of the year again... FREE AGENCY!!! Or as the Lakers like to call it...womp, womp, womp...    So as is the case with the Lakers and these dreaded two words - it's likely going to be quite the anticlimactic and underwhelming experience yet again.    BUT that doesn't mean there aren't any exciting possibilities and developments to look out for!    So join us as we get...

NBA 2017 Lakers Draft Post Mortem Time!    **Special Guest** Josh Riddell of DraftExpress hops on!    In this episode, we cover:    * Paul George Rumors / Update on Kevin Pritchard's Stance (6:05)  * Getting Over DLO-Sanity, now a Brooklyn Net (11:40)  * 2017 NBA Draft Recap & Lakers' Grades w/ Josh Riddell (17:50)  * More In-Depth Analysis On Kuzma, Hart, Bryant, Dozier (58:43)    ......

 LONZO! HART! KUZMA! BRYANT! ...Paul George? Not yet...BUT THAT'S OK!    It was a BUSY night for the Los Angeles Lakers and in an efforts to try and rebound from their dubious D'angelo Russell trade prior, one would say they had quite the solid Draft Night.    Join our:    * Draft Tailgate Thoughts (0:00)  * Live Draft Reactions of Lakers' Picks (12:51)  * Post Draft Thoughts, Grades,...

So...Life comes at you fast. D'angelo Russell is no longer a Laker.    Neither is Mozzy. But Brook Lopez and Cap Space are.    This is what 'Rock Bottom' sounds like...Lakers Legacy, Unplugged 2017.    Somehow, we also put a positive spin on things at the very end...    Hope this is a cathartic experience for Lakers fans.  ...      Follow us on Twitter: @LakersLegacyPod    Catch us on...

LONZO BALL HATER ALERT??    Not really, but we've got some debating to do.
