The Milwaukee Bucks are NBA Champions, capping off a crazy season that was, frankly, often difficult to watch. But beyond being a great story and reward for some outstanding people, like Giannis, Jrue Holiday and Khris Middleton, the Bucks showed a few things that are instructive for the Lakers. First, it's a reminder of how thin the margins are, and how easily things could go the other way. If Brooklyn's Big Three is healthy, do the Bucks make it to the Finals? Maybe not. If Anthony Davis doesn't get hurt, do the Lakers get there, despite all the other things that ate into the margin for error built up from winning in 2020? - - Yeah, they probably do. - - Next season is going to be as open as any in recent NBA history. The Lakers have two superstars. Is the lesson of Milwaukee the need to take big swings, like the Bucks did with the Jrue Holiday trade? (And the Lakers did with Davis?) What's the equivalent of that for LA this offseason? Magic Johnson has some suggestions on how the Lakers can improve. The Kamenetzky Brothers discuss, and acknowledge executing on Magic's plan requires a little chicanery. - - Finally, NBA Draft prep continues at Locked On Lakers. Kendall Kaut, who literally wrote the book on Baylor's 2021 NCAA title, joins to break down smooth-shooting guard Jared Butler. Is he the best fit for LA at 22? - - SUBSCRIBE TO LOCKED ON LAKERS ON YOUTUBE...
