Head on over to your favorite boutique donut shoppe and splurge on their most expensive offering. You earned it, especially if you are a long-suffering Laker

s fan, an incredibly long-suffering Suns fan, or Pau Gasol- who squeezed every last dollar out of San Antonio before bouncing to Milwaukee.

And while you are there fire up a new episode of Fastbreak Breakfast, as The Ringer’s Haley O’Shaughnessy (@haleyosomething) joins to discuss the troubles in Los Angeles and Phoenix, among other things:

  • Do we fans wish that players and coaches would act more distraught publicly over losses for our own catharsis?
  • How much of the blame for the Lakers ill-fitting roster should be leveled against LeBron James? Now that Magic Johnson is publicly blaming acknowledging LeBron for having his hands on the personnel moves, where does the buck stop?
  • Speaking of Bucks, what were the reasons that caused Pau Gasol to leave the playoff-bound Spurs to hop conferences and go to Milwaukee?
  • Is the constant losing in Phoenix damaging DeAndre Ayton? Has it caused permanent damage to Devin Booker?
  • Who is the best player to ever average over 20 points per game in a 20 game losing streak?
  • Can you break up with your favorite team to avoid further heartache? What are the risks involved with trying to abandon them?
  • Are the Lakers such a mess that Carmelo Anthony thought he was too good for them?
