In only the span of a few days, the Lakers have lost Anthony Davis for at least a month to a knee injury, had several players go into the NBA's health and safety protocols, signed Isaiah Thomas to a 10-day contract via a hardship exception, and had Trevor Ariza return to the lineup in his first action of the season after ankle surgery in September. Pete and Darius discuss all this news, including their initial impressions of Thomas and Ariza, as well as how losing AD changes the asks on LeBron and how much more or less taxing it is for him to play more minutes as a "big" with the team going to more center-less lineups.  Visit https://www.tickpick.com/lfr/ to save $10 on your first order of tickets.  Learn more about your ad choices.
