Lakers Dark Ages Wrap Up Podcast (Ganguli, Turner)

Host Beto Durán welcomes Lakers beat writer Tania Ganguli and NBA reporter Brad 'BT' Turner to the podcast. Recorded Friday (the day before the Anthony Davis trade was announced), Tania, BT, and Beto take stock of the Lakers as they end their 6th straight season missing the playoffs. Prior to these 6 years, the Lakers missed the playoffs a total of 6 years in the previous 65 seasons. The Anthony Davis trade has the team and fans feeling this drought will end, and this podcast serves as the wrap up to this recent unsuccessful tenure. There is plenty of speculative free agency talk out there, this podcast serves as a glimpse into the behind the scenes perspective of two journalists deeply involved in covering the inner workings of the Lakers.
