The Lakers are 0–2 in the preseason, but JJ Redick isn’t worried — and maybe that’s the point.
In Episode 206, Ricky and Kwame dive into the early storylines shaping the 2025–26 Lakers:
🏀 Topics Covered:
- The “Patience Plan” — Are slow starts part of Redick’s blueprint or a real concern?
- Bench Auditions — Vincent, Vando, Knecht, and R.J. Davis making early cases for rotation spots.
- Ayton’s Identity Shift — Is he evolving into the defensive anchor the Lakers need, or being underused next to LeBron and Luka?
- Preseason Chemistry Check — What two games in tells us about habits, rhythm, and readiness.
The vibes are high, the habits are forming, but the question remains:
Will patience pay off — or put the Lakers behind again?
