Try Melbourne, Australia, with Josh Lloyd, the host of Locked on NBA and Locked on NBA Fantasy, They broke down the Lakers on both sides of the ball, along with how things could shake out with so many new faces. Will the Big Three come together? Is Russell Westbrook an easier fit in certain respects than credited? Is a bounce back season coming for Anthony Davis?

Plus, how do the Lakers shake out from a fantasy perspective, and a look around the NBA? What will become Kyrie Irving's uncertain status with the Nets, and does a destination for Ben Simmons actually exist?
