Are the Lakers Better off if Deandre Ayton Picks Up or Declines His Player Option?

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 21:00:00 GMT

The Lakers would like to upgrade at center. That much has been made pretty clear. Certainly Lakers fans would like to see the same thing.

The complicating factor is Deandre Ayton, and his player option for next season. Ayton made about $8 million this year, and will make similar money next year. It's certainly possible he reads the market and decides there's a longer term deal out there, but nobody would be even a little surprised to see Ayton decide his best avenue is to stay in LA and play out the option.

So which one is actually better for the Lakers?

For Ayton non-believers, the answer might be trickier than you think.

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky with Deondre Hawkins of 710 ESPN Los Angeles

Lakers Trade Targets

Medium Large LLC — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 07:14:27 GMT

Can the Lakers Keep LeBron and Reaves and Still Upgrade the Roster?

Locked On Podcast Network — Tue, 02 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

The Lakers are trying to build a team around Luka Dončić that can push the Spurs and Thunder at the top of the conference next year.

The Lakers are trying to build a team that can win in a sustainable fashion around Luka. They're trying to get younger, to get more athletic, to add better centers, better wings and better depth. In short, they're trying to do a lot of things at once, and don't necessarily have a ton of resources to do it (despite what the team has been implying...).

So how much is too much when it comes to salaries for LeBron James and Austin Reaves? How do the Lakers get better if they don't bring those guys back?

And what should be the priorities for the org as they enter the summer?

It starts with trying to figure out where the Lakers are relative to the teams at the top. Unfortunately, because Reaves was damaged and Luka was out, the Lakers didn't get a feel for what the matchup looks like at full strength. (Or at least with the Lakers at full strength, since the Thunder were still missing Jalen Williams.)

We talk about this and more with 710 ESPN's Deondre Hawkins!

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

SEGMENT 2: Where are the priorities?

How Much Money Is Too Much Money for Austin Reaves?

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 21:00:00 GMT

The Lakers have some hard choices to make this summer. And while the idea of bringing back Austin Reaves isn't necessarily one of them -- unless a better alternative presents itself, a relative long shot, the Lakers don't have any viable way to replace Reaves if he goes -- there could very well be some uncomfortable conversations about how much it costs to get the deal done.

Tim Bontemps of ESPN reports that many NBA insiders expect Reaves's deal to come in at or above $40 mil a year, as opposed to, say, $35 million. That's not a trivial difference, and could cause the Lakers a little pain as they try to build a high-end contender as quickly as they can around Luka Doncic.

He notes that teams like Brooklyn and Chicago are in position to make very significant offers, much closer to the maximum Reaves can get under CBA rules. That would require Reaves to enter situations where titles aren't part of the equation, but if the money was that much better, and maybe if he felt the Lakers lowballed him, could he go that direction?

It feels like Reaves wants to come back. He's said he's not interested in squeezing as much as he can from the team. The Lakers want him to return. What remains to be seen is the number. What's something the Lakers, and Reaves, could both feel good about?

What the Western Conference Finals Can Teach the Lakers This Summer

Locked On Podcast Network — Mon, 01 Jun 2026 07:00:00 GMT

The Lakers have a challenging offseason coming, nobody doubts that. But did the just-finished Western Conference Finals provide any type of guide for how they should approach it?

After all, the "forget it, we're all cooked" dynasty that was supposed to be the Oklahoma City Thunder ended in a year... but then again, it wasn't so much because the Thunder did anything to take steps backward (other than get some poorly timed injuries). San Antonio just caught them, and look to have something massive building themselves going forward.

So what now?

Well, the series highlighted the value of depth, not just as a playoff tool but a regular season weapon that makes your playoffs better. It raised questions about how you build teams, and with what in mind. Do you match up with specific teams? Or just build the best version you can around the stars you have? And what about Chet Holmgren's struggles? After a terrible WCF, would Sam Presti pull the trigger on something significant as Chet starts his max-dollar extension?

And does the discourse around Chet remind anyone else of the conversation LA is having around Austin Reaves?

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

SEGMENT 1: The lessons of the WCF.

SEGMENT 2: Could OKC's loss mean more summer movement in the NBA?

SEGMENT 3: Chet and Reaves.

iHeartPodcasts and The Volume — Sun, 31 May 2026 21:15:00 GMT

Colin is joined by Jason Timpf, host of “Hoops Tonight” to break down the NBA playoffs.

They begin with Colin explaining why he became a “fan” during Game 7 and why he was pulling for the Spurs dynasty to begin, and Jason highlights some of the adjustments the Spurs made to beat the defending champs (3:00). Colin marvels at the poise and composure an incredibly young Spurs team showed in a high pressure game 7 on the road, and they make the case for Wemby being the best player in the world (8:45).

Colin argues that Thunder GM Sam Presti may have to look into trading for Giannis in order to compete with the Spurs going forward, but Jason argues that Presti should look to target someone in the draft (14:15).

They move to previewing the Finals and debate the Knicks chances against the incredibly talented and young Spurs and both agree it should be a very competitive series (27:00).

Finally, they highlight the Knicks’ strengths and explain why they have the ingredients to upset the Spurs (35:00).
