Another day, another high profile free agent of a certain age signing a minimum deal by the Lakers. This time it's DeAndre Jordan, recently traded this offseason by the Nets to the Pistons, who in turn waived the veteran center. it didn't take long before reports started linking Jordan to the Lakers. But while Jordan is a former All-Star and a notable name, his best seasons are pretty far removed, and he's coming off a terrible season in Brooklyn, which culminated in a DNP-EntirePostseason. How much does Jordan have left in the tank? Offensively? Defensively? How good of a player is he at this stage?

In the meantime, what does Jordan's arrival signal for Marc Gasol? It's been recently reported that his return to the Lakers isn't a given, despite being under guaranteed contract. Are the Lakers planning to keep him? Trade him? Waive him? Is Jordan a better fit than Gasol? Will El Spaniard 2.0's skillset be missed if he's gone? (Or just buried in the rotation?)

And finally, there are now a lot of established vets on the Lakers' roster. Not all of them can reasonably expect regular minutes. How will this play out for Frank Vogel? Is a tense locker room inevitable?

Hosts: Andy and Brian Kamenetzky

SEGMENT 1: Does Jordan make sense for the Lakers? How good is he anymore?

SEGMENT 2: More on Jordan. Is he an upgrade or downgrade from Gasol?

SEGMENT 3: Someone's gonna get squeezed in the rotation. Is this a brewing problem?
