Nothing like a lopsided loss to get the Laker Nation a-chatterin'. Plenty of questions tossed our way, including those about Kobe Bryant's time table for a return, how well the Lakers match up in a potential series against San Antonio and the odds of Ramon Sessions returning next season.
Here's a link to the transcript.
Also, as a reminder, if you haven't had a chance to read Dave McMenamin's two part Q and A with Jim Buss, do so. (Part 1 here, Part 2 here.) It's well worth your time.

Can the Lakers compete tonight against the Spurs without Kobe Bryant? If the answer is no, (a) should Mike Brown consider resting Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum and (b) does this mean The Mamba should merit more consideration for MVP honors?
These and other questions were tackled in today's chat. Here's the link to the room.

Oh, the flurry of questions sparked by consecutive losses! Among the topics tossed our way were the ETA for Ramon Sessions being promoted to the first five, Sessions' and Kobe Bryant's crunch-time compatibility and the odds of Jordan Hill entering the rotation. Plus, Andrew Bynum's exceptionally classy, mature, and timely ejection.

The room has closed for business, but you can still check out the conversation. Among the talking points: Gilbert Arenas vs. J.R. Smith... Mike Brown vs. Metta World Peace... and the trade deadline vs. the limited resources at Mitch Kupchak's disposal.
Plus, a reader suspects the Kamenetzky wives don't realize how fortunate they are being married to Lakers bloggers. Clearly, luckier stars have never been discovered.

It was a lively day in the chat-o-sphere, as one would expect with an erratic road trip halfway in the books.
Among the talking points were potential trade targets (Rondo, Sessions, Howard, etc.), the role of Andrew Goudelock upon Steve Blake's return and Mike Brown's rotations. Plus, fare thee well, Derrick Caracter.
For those who couldn't attend, here's a link to the transcript.

A lively conversation it was, which is to be expected after Tuesday's win over the Rockets. Among the talking points raised by readers:
- Andrew Bynum's 20/20 game, and whether the Lakers should still move him for Dwight Howard if possible.
- Kobe Bryant's willingness to cede some offense to Bynum, in light of his strong performances since returning from suspension.
- Why isn't Devin Ebanks playing anymore?
- Will Steve Blake usurp Derek Fisher as the starting point guard?

Plenty of action in today's chat. No surprise, the conversation gravitated towards the labor situation. Is there any chance the season starts on time? How does a shortened year help or hurt the Lakers? Once games begin, will Derek Fisher's performance be negatively impacted by the burdens of his role as NBPA president?
We touch on those issues, plus the Kobe-to-Italy talks, Shannon Brown, and more.
