CourtCast by Lakers Nation breaks down the latest news surrounding the Los Angeles Lakers with host Trevor Lane and special guest Lakers Nation Contributor Hannah Kulik.

We dig into the stellar play of rookie center Ivica Zubac as well as concerns about Brandon Ingram’s wayward jump shot. We also take a look at the hot and cold seasons put forth by D’Angelo Russell and Julius Randle and weigh the possibilities of Los Angeles making a trade at the deadline with veteran players like Nick Young and Lou Williams being the most likely to depart.

With the draft pick at stake, we discuss the controversial topic of tanking and whether or not it’s an acceptable path to pursue.
