How the Lakers Got So Bad So Quickly: Examining the Westbrook Deal, and Other Moves By Rob Pelinka - Guest, Eric Pincus

The Lakers' 2021-22 season has been an absolute disaster. Some reasons are beyond anybody's control... but many issues could have been avoided through better decisions. And while fans will - not without reason - point to the Russell Westbrook trade as the flashpoint for where everything that's fallen apart, it hasn't been the only bad call over the last few years. Poor decisions, major and minor, have helped what looked like a strong franchise fall apart in a hurry.

So how did this happen? The Kamenetzkys spoke with Bleacher Report scribe and NBA cap expert Eric Pincus.

He breaks down the personnel choices that went wrong, accounting mistakes they've made with contracts like Talen Horton-Tucker and Austin Reaves, squandered assets and draft picks and more. What is going on in the front office that promotes these kinds of mistakes? Is the decision-making infrastructure up to snuff? And what can they do going forward to fix things?

HOSTS: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

SEGMENT 1: How important is it to look at transactions in a holistic way? How do individual moves impact each other? What's the cause and effect? How did the Anthony Davis deal lay some of the ground the Lakers walk on now?

SEGMENT 2: Reviewing the Westbrook deal. How that went wrong... but how it was more the end point, not the start, of the team's devolution.

SEGMENT 3: Who makes the decisions in El Segundo? Is the infrastructure what it should be? How could the Lakers fix it?
