The Lakers season hasn't gone according to plan and last night's loss to the Anthony Davis-less Pelicans got RJ and Danny thinking about worst case scenarios; like what happens if the Lakers don't make the playoffs? Surely Luke will be fired, but for who to replace him? And what happens if AD doesn't get traded to the Lakers this summer or big name free agents take their talents elsewhere? Are the Lakers stuck with an aging, disinterested Lebron and young players who haven't forgotten about being offered in every sacrifice for a star? And finally, if all that happens, will the Lakers the worst California team going forward? Yeah we went there. Tune in.
