    PART 2: Screw the national platforms, Luka's been incredible

    This Lakers season has turned completely around and that shift has a lot to do with Luka's recent play. But also, Luka's play all year helped keep the Lakers afloat. He's entering his prime and this season has been remarkable.

    FULL: Lakers wrap up a PHENOMENAL road trip (with Raj)

    PART 3: Why Anthony won't apologize to Rob Pelinka

    We often think of opportunity cost in the sense of trading a first round pick that the Lakers couldn't use this summer.

    PART 2: Has this winning streak changed LeBron's Lakers outlook?

    For most of this season, the consensus on LeBron James' Lakers future was that it would probably come to an end after this year. With the Lakers winning the way they have lately and looking like a real contender, have the vibes changed?
