Stephen A. Smith of First Take looks into the latest loss for the Los Angeles Lakers after their game vs. the Denver Nuggets, expresses how bad Rajon Rondo looked sitting in a courtside seat and not with his teammates and how questions are being raised if LeBron James is in L.A. to play basketball or to go Hollywood. Max Kellerman breaks down how the Lakers' 2018-19 roster was supposed to be built around LeBron so he could help develop younger players with veteran teammates, but points out that since the veterans are on one-year deals, they are not fully invested to the team.
