The Baseline: Autopsy Reports Lakers and Pelicans

April 15, 2019

The Baseline breaks out the gloves to get deep into the future of teams out of the NBA playoffs. It’s time for the autopsy report:

Los Angeles Lakers

The Lakers have even more work to do in lieu of Magic Johnson stepping down.
Where has the Lakers’ lore gone? Is LeBron James enough to bring it back?
Will Brandon Igram, Kyle Kuzma, Lonzo Ball and Josh Hart still be members of the team?

New Orleans Pelicans

With Anthony Davis rocking a “That’s all folks” shirt on the final game of the season is his course to LA already set? Or will new President of Basketball Operations, David Griffin take the team in a different direction?
Is Jrue Holiday the current face of the franchise?
