Are LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook Ready for the Regular Season? - a podcast by Locked On Podcast Network, Anthony Irwin

The Lakers' preseason is officially in the books after a 116-112 loss to the Sacramento Kings, the sixth loss in as many tries before the real games begin. (ALL HAIL 0-6!!!) But that last go-around wasn't entirely negative. To begin, this was arguably the best individual game each for LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Russell Westbrook, and without question their best as a trio. For that matter, DeAndre Jordan (in by far his best showing as a Laker), Carmelo Anthony, Dwight Howard, and Austin Reaves all enjoyed some nice moments. On balance, it was the best the Lakers have looked, period.
That said, as one might expect after a loss, it also wasn't all peaches and cream, especially on the defensive end, where the Lakers remain somewhere between "inconsistent" and "a flat out mess." Plus, the health of several important players is still unknown, and the already low continuity from last year has been exacerbated. So what are the Kamenetzkys' big takeaways from the preseason, and how ready do they think the team is for the regular season to kick off next week? They discuss.Plus, praise for Reaves, and a PSA of sorts about Jordan.

Hosts: Andy and Brian KamenetzkySEGMENT 1: A recap of the final preseason game, and in particular, Westbrook's night and progress with the Lakers.

SEGMENT 2: How ready do the Lakers seem for the season to begin?SEGMENT 3: A plea to stop complaining about Jordan every second he's on the court. Plus, can Reaves actually hang in an NBA rotation?
