The Lakers’ fourteenth roster spot remains in flux, and according to multiple reports, could be earmarked for free agent Christian Wood, a talented but highly polarizing journeyman forward/center. Why does he rub some folks the wrong way? Because other than scoring, which he’s admittedly quite good at, he doesn’t seem dedicated to much else, especially defense. How hard would it be to change this?
Well, according to an NBA source who spoke to Dan Woike (LA Times), “If LeBron [James] can get [Wood] to toe the line, it cements LeBron as the greatest player of all time… That’s how hard it is.”
Oh my…
But according to Woike, that doesn’t necessarily mean the Lakers wouldn’t give this project a go, anyway. He joined Locked on Lakers to discuss the Lakers’ internal split on signing Wood, along with the many pros and cons on either side of the argument. We also delved into the possibility of extending Anthony Davis before the season begins, whether he’s proven himself worthy of taking the torch from LeBron, and the current state of sports documentaries. As a huge fan of the genre, Woike is pleased with having so many options to choose from. But does the current crop offer worthy choices? That’s another story.
Host: Andy Kamenetzky, with Guest Dan Woike.

9th times a charm! Get C. Wood I'll just be over here watching…
I'd like to see Christian wood on the Lakers but Dam every channel is talking about this guy like he's some all-star. He's never been to the Playoffs before. He's a below avg defender, Bad locker room fit. What is a use case for this guy? If he plays 26 mins a game he's taking mins from RUI and Vando at the 4. He's getting eaten alive at Center. Just stop it.
How bout both wood and bismack?
Vacation? Need to get to 20K subs before Vacation….. need more dedication fellas.
