Lakers Podcast: Who will be the Lakers’ leader this season?

Pretty much anything involving Shaquille O’Neal is going to be big, and his latest podcast is no different. The Big Aristotle was joined on his latest episode by none other than the new coach of the Los Angeles Lakers, Luke Walton.

Walton discussed a number of things with his former teammate, including who he expects to lead the team, how he plans to judge his young squad, and much more.

In a bit of #PodCeption, Locked on Lakers hosts Anthony Irwin and Harrison Faigen discussed Walton’s comments on Shaq’s podcast on the latest episode of the Locked on Lakers podcast. What do they think of the new message from Walton, and the overall tone of the comments coming from the Lakers organization since he was hired?

Plus, the guys debated whether or not Julius Randle should have played in summer league, what he and Jordan Clarkson’s ultimate ceiling will be, and with former Laker they’d most like to see on the current team.
