More Draft Talk: Should the Lakers Target Best Fit, or Best Talent? Plus, Sleepers and Front office Issues.

In Monday's big episode with NBA/Lakers Draft expert Mike Garcia, we covered a lot of ground, including where things stand in the front office, how the Lakers are preparing (or aren't preparing) for this Draft and offseason, what qualities they ought to value, and more. 

In our bonus show with Mike, we unpack a few more things, starting with the question of whether the Lakers would be better off drafting for the capacity to play immediately (since they need more depth in the rotation right away) or the best player/talent available (because needs change pretty quickly). In theory, you could accomplish both at once, but at 25 the Lakers might need to choose. So if they do, which is more important? 

And then, we move past the first round into players the Lakers might want to pick up in the second (should they, as has been the case in the last few drafts, try to acquire or buy a 2nd rounder) or pick up as a UFA. 

Then, reaction! 

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky, with Mike Garcia!
