Podcast: Lamar Odom, Michael Beasley, new faces(?), Kobe’s rehab, hangover cures and tacos
Summary: Before we know it, training camp will be upon us and a new season will be underway. Until then, a handful of recent developments, one of which pains us to talk about, unavoidable as the topic may be. The podcast can be heard by clicking on the module above, and a list of talking points is below: * We discuss Lamar Odom’s sad situation, the tragedies he’s endured amidst professional triumphs, and wish him the best moving forward. * Many Laker fans have expressed interest in signing the recently released Michael Beasley (http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/lakers/post/_/id/37168/will-the-lakers-be-in-the-michael-beasley-sweepstakes) on the cheap. Is this really a good idea? * What are the odds that the partially guaranteed contracts of Shawne Williams (http://espn.go.com/blog/los-angeles/lakers/post/_/id/37174/lakers-sign-free-agent-f-shawne-williams) and Xavier Henry get paid in full? How well would either player fit in with the Lakers? * How does a man as accomplished (and philanthropic) as Pau Gasol fail in his bid to secure Madrid as the site for the 2020 Olympics? (http://www.latimes.com/sports/lakersnow/la-sp-ln-pau-gasol-madrid-2020-olympics-20130908,0,3610012.story) We explain. * Does Kobe Bryant have an ulterior motive for keeping the public so in the loop about his Achilles tendon rehab? * It’s time for “AAK!!!” Just like we asked Flea in a recent podcast (http://landolakers.com/2013/09/03/podcast-flea-on-the-lakers-kobe-dantoni-magic-music-and-the-big-lebowski/), who would be our ultimate All-Lakers pickup squad? What’s the ultimate hangover cure? Which NFL squad that finished last in their division during the 2012 season has the best chance of making the 2013 playoffs? * Tragedy in Portland (http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2013/09/trail_blazers_taco_bell_end_chalupa_giveaways_at_m.html). How pissed would Staples Center patrons be if the Lakers and Jack in the Box ended the in-game “two free tacos” promotion? Click above to play, or just download the show here. Hope you enjoy it.
