In this episode of The NBA Podcast, Bryan Toporek (@btoporek) and SB Nation NBA Editorial Manager Harrison Faigen (@hmfaigen) discuss how Anthony Davis' foot injury impacts the Los Angeles Lakers' trajectory leading into the trade deadline.

4:20: How had AD helped the Lakers turn their season around?
17:29: Does this injury justify the Lakers slow-playing a Russ trade?
31:36: Was there a Russ + picks trade that made sense, pre-AD injury?
45:23: Should the Lakers stand pat because of AD's injury and punt on this season?

Check out the episode to hear Bryan and Harrison discuss all of that and more.
