No LeBron James, no problem for the Lakers? If only it was that easy. Despite missing the King (protocols) for the indefinite future, the Lakers look poised to lean on Anthony Davis in order to try and turn the corner.

Ethan and JC are back to discuss the emergence of Malik Monk, the absurdity of the emphasis on Trevor Ariza, and the importance of AD as a vocal leader. The fellas also touch on DJ, Rondo, and more on this go-around of the Ethos Lakers podcast.
