Lots of response to Monday's show, looking at the relative value of potentially available players like Chicago's Zach LaVine and Washington's Kyle Kuzma, and why raw talent isn't necessarily the best metric to use when deciding who to do after. There's a tricky calculus in play that also involves cost in salary and cost in talent, what's left over after a trade and what holes that trade in theory fills.

Can the Lakers make a deal for LaVine that overcomes the major questions about his salary (owed about $130 million over the next three years) even if they can keep the cost in talent low enough? Does Washington jack up the price on Kuz precisely because he doesn't make nearly as much money? (In fact, his contract declines in value going forward, as league revenue is expected to pop.)

It's just one reason Rob Pelinka's job isn't easy. Aside from the part about never ever getting fired.

More questions, too, about coaching. Austin Reaves, speaking in a conference call to ahead of his appearance in a golf tournament, didn't exactly go out of his way to defend Darvin Ham. He, like the rest of us, wants to see the Lakers bring in a coach with some kind of system. Something they can build with over time. And to that effect, the Lakers are apparently considering some high profile names to be assistants to (presumably) JJ Redick. But what kind of coach does Redick need?
