Last episode the Lakers rumor mill was red hot with stories about how LeBron might want to leave the Lakers this summer, and now we've got a full 180 and Russell Westbrook might want out?

Reports came out today that there might be 'mutual interest' in a parting of ways between Westbrook and The Lakers this summer. JC is back with a solo edition of the pod to tell you his thoughts and he might have also reached his breaking point with this team and is looking forward to the summer with just over 20 games left.

The trading deadline came and went and the Lakers didn't many moves. Not totally unexpected, but what is unexpected are some of the names that are emerging from the buyout market. There's one familiar face among the rumors that summarize the hilarity of this Lakers season.

The Lakers abysmal season hits a new low with the trade deadline here, but this team may be too far beyond repair for any change to mend it.

Ethan and JC examine the broken chemistry, go on some epic rants, opine on Frank Vogel's future, and try to understand the psychology of a Lakers team that has been nothing short of frustrating all season long. The fellas give their trade deadline predictions and talk about what the Lakers can do no matter who's on the roster — but it all starts with effort.

The Lakers have had their looks at life after LeBron, but thankfully don’t have to consider that reality just quite yet.

Ethan pops a solo mission to hit the obvious Russell Westbrook developments, the insane play of Anthony Davis, Malik Monk carving out his role and much more on a fresh episode of the Ethos Lakers podcast.

AD is back! Back from a knee injury that saw him sit for 17 games and he started out the game with a bang!

JC is on this solo edition to go over AD's return, and have the Lakers solidified their rotations with guys who aren't name LeBron, Westbrook or AD? Possibly! Listen to see who JC thinks needs to be on the floor at all times for this Lakers squad.

It’s Lakers trade season! Fire up the ideas, bring on the banter, and allow the fellas to bring in a very special guest from the Sports Ethos family: Steven from The Bird Rights Podcast!

Steven brings his salary expertise to Laker Nation to see what’s plausible for this group as Ethan and JC try to figure out how more change will help calm the waters. 

We talk Jerami Grant, Myles Turner, Russell Westbrook, and…Ben Simmons?!?! 

Stick around for a crossover episode that’ll leave you feeling like Allen Iverson.

Will the real Lakers problem please stand up? Can Russell Westbrook be fixed? Is Frank Vogel a dead man walking?

Ethan is back on a solo ride to take on these questions and what faces these Lakers as the club tries to (again) get back on track with some level of sustained success. The effort question remains a big one, and there's no guarantee that a short or long-term solution is in the cards for this particular group.

With an outstanding win, and a candidate for the NBA's Dunk of the Year by none other than Russell Westbrook, have the Lakers turned things around? Possibly!

JC takes us through maybe the biggest win of the season, Stanley Johnson's big night, and updates us on some of the team's injuries on this solo edition of the pod.

The Lakers lost again, and it's the end of the world again! But the way they lost, it just illustrates that there are still many problems in Lakerland, including a possible unhappy Russell Westbrook.

Could it be the best thing for both sides if there was a parting of ways? What trades might the Lakers be looking at? JC has those answers for you and more in this solo edition of the Ethos Lakers Podcast!
