The Lakers have done nothing this offseason. No trades, no signings. Nothing. So when there's one guy who is seemingly available for the type of haul the Lakers can actually satisfy, it's worth a conversation about whether it's a good idea.

That's the state of things with Portland forward Jerami Grant. For Tuesday's show, Mike Richman of Locked On Blazers joined to provide a scouting report, covering Grant's defense, offense and fit.

It's a trade idea that really emphasizes how tight a window the Lakers have to operate through, because with Grant you have to consider:

• Whether the Lakers should give up draft capital.
• If the gap between Grant and the (likely) two to three rotation players required to make the money work is big enough for the Lakers to improve in the transaction.
• The future implications, because Grant makes a ton of money for the next four years, and is already on the wrong side of 30.

Well, Lakers fans have considered the info, and decided they didn't like the idea of trading for Grant. Overwhelmingly, the sentiment on the Locked On Lakers YouTube page was anti-Grant, at least for the price the Lakers would be expected to have to pay, with current rates. That's despite all the frustration with the total inactivity this summer. So it says fans want improvement, not just action.

It didn't, however, prevent fans from criticizing the front office. We opened up the mailbag, and listeners responded with many, many letters critical of Lakers managment/ownership.

The Lakers have, just in case you've been sleeping through the summer, done as close to nothing as a team can assuming they actually participate in the Draft. No free agent signings. No trades. Nothing.

And aside from Zach LaVine, who Chicago can't seem to get rid of but has very, very little buzz around him (not just with the Lakers, but everywhere) the only guy left on the trade market the Lakers might actually have access to — no, they can't make a run at Utah's Lauri Markkinen — is Portland's Jerami Grant. He's a guy that's been connected to the Lakers at different points over the years and would, at least in theory, help address team needs on the wing as a guy with a good defensive reputation and a steady 3-point shot.

But does the reality match the reputation?

Do the Lakers, who don't have that many quality assets, have the means to acquire Grant without overpaying, whether in draft picks, rotation caliber players, or both?

Is it a good idea to acquire a 30-year old on a $160 million deal that runs another four seasons?

To answer these questions and more, we hit up Mike Richman, host of Locked On Blazers, who has watched Grant up close and on repeat for the last couple seasons. Does he think the proverbial juice is worth the squeeze here for LA?

Richman breaks down Grant's strengths and weaknesses as a defender, and how he might fit into a playoff rotation next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis. We also get into whether the Lakers would have to overpay by too much, just to make the dollars work. Especially if Portland chooses to drive a hard bargain.

He's a tempting name, but is it worth it?

Sunday, the US Men's National Team scored an impressive win over Serbia to kick off their run at the Paris Olympics. A big reason for that success was LeBron James, who scored 21 points, and added nine rebounds and seven assists and a steal in only 27 minutes.

The dude was dominant. And this against high end competition. LeBron was often the best player on the floor, which is pretty amazing given his age and mileage. At this point, if he's even on the team, he should be some sort of player emeritus, not a main cog in the team's success. But here we are. And fans are noticing what he (and Anthony Davis, who was good-but-relatively quiet Sunday thanks to some foul trouble) is doing.

But what does any of this mean for the Lakers? Does it mean something that the Lakers have two players capable of dominating at this level but have so many failed NBA postseasons (with a couple good ones mixed in, no doubt). Does their dominance reflect poorly on the front office?

Does any of it translate?

Meanwhile, in terms of potential upgrades, the Lakers "lost out" on another high profile player, as Tyus Jones went to Phoenix on a veteran's minimum. Now, this wasn't necessarily a matter of Jones choosing the Suns over the Lakers - there's no indication the Lakers were even interested, or tried to get him - but it's another example of good players going to other players with the Lakers either unable to make an effort, or losing out on the players they try for.

It's just a reminder that the Lakers are, for now, basically stuck. And that's uncomfortable, because they're not bad by any stretch, but clearly not good enough yet to contend.
