How much will the reported LeBron James-Lakers rift actually matter?

It’s been basically a week and a half since the Los Angeles Lakers last played a basketball game. In that time, the situation around the team and front office has reportedly ranged anywhere from no problem at all to an outright catastrophe.

This week in “The Lakers Lounge,” Harrison Faigen and I started by trying to recap and contextualize everything from the last week-that-feels-more-like-a-month. As per usual, we leaned heavily on what we considered funniest, because if we can’t joke about an organization coming off such a bad offseason that everyone involved feels the need to point fingers before the season is even over, then there’s just nothing we can laugh at anymore.
