The Lakers finally made their long-awaited return to the basketball court on Sunday afternoon in their preseason opener against the Brooklyn Nets. While the players who did not play -- LeBron James, Russell Westbrook, Carmelo Anthony, Kyrie Irving, James Harden, Kevin Durant -- were far more notable than the ones that did, the excitement was still all the same in the purple and gold's return to action after exactly four months off over the summer. Today's edition of "Can U Dig It?" features Jacob and Christian sharing their thoughts on what was ultimately a blowout win for the Nets, 123-97. They discuss the big performance from Malik Monk, the host of young backcourt players the Lakers have including Kendrick Nunn and Talen Horton-Tucker and whether Sunday's performance could factor into the Lakers starting Anthony Davis at center. With so much talent in the backcourt, does it make more sense for the Lakers to play small more this season? They also discuss the frontcourt, including Davis' one quarter of action on the night. After a frustrating 2020-21 season, Davis looks refocused and re-energized, albeit through just one quarter of one game. The two also give their first impressions of the two centers on the Lakers roster and how they fared in their first performances of the season.

On this week’s episode of “The Lakers Lounge,” Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin first laughed at the fact that they named a show most people are listening to in the morning after a bar. Whoops. From there, they jumped into the chippiness exhibited by both Devin Booker and Jae Crowder late in the Lakers' Game 3 win that led to both their ejections. While neither Harrison or Anthony think they will or should be suspended, they do both believe this is going to have an impact on the next game as the referees assigned will likely go out of their way to control any such stupidity right from the tip. Given Crowder’s (and Chris Paul’s if we’re being honest) proclivity for dirty play, this is probably a good thing, even though it might cost the Lakers a couple fouls early. Once they turned their attention back to the game, they had some fun with how much Andre Drummond seems to love being a Laker, and how he feels like our look into what it would be like if a fan had access to the insane acts of athleticism LeBron James and Anthony Davis are capable of on that kind of regular basis.

LeBron James is set to return soon, possibly as soon as Tuesday, according to the latest reports. When framed in conjunction with the Lakers destroying the Phoenix Suns — their potential first-round playoff opponent — without him on Sunday, things appear to be looking up for the purple and gold, even if it looks increasingly likely that they’re headed for the play-in tournament. The team itself has continuously maintained that they don’t want to end up in the potential double-elimination scenario, but it also could result in an easier side of the playoff bracket, if the Lakers take care of business. On today’s episode of “Lakers, Explained” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — co-hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin dove into the format, and why it could be a double-edged sword for Los Angeles.

The shorthanded Los Angeles Lakers fell against the LA Clippers on Thursday night as they continue to barely hold on to their spot in the standings, and on the latest episode of the Silver Screen and Roll postgame show, hosts Anthony Irwin and Harrison Faigen broke down the blowout loss, and what their biggest takeaways are from such a resounding defeat. While the Lakers may not have been at full strength for this one, there still may be some things to think about following this matchup, maybe most of all that it might be seriously time to worry if this team has enough time to get healthy. Then, with the Lakers as close to a play-in game as they’ve been all season, Harrison and Anthony discussed which possible play-in opponent they’d see as the biggest threat to the purple and gold if they do end up in the potential elimination games. Because if they lose against the Trail Blazers in Portland on Friday, that’s where they’re headed. Finally, Harrison and Anthony wrapped up the show with a headwear-related attempt to try and break the curse that’s been following the Lakers all year. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Anthony and Jas kick things off by discussing the news that LeBron James will be out for at least the next two games while he deals with some ankle soreness. The Lakers are hanging on to the sixth-seed by a thread, but is it more important to avoid the play-in tournament? or get into the postseason as healthy as can be? With the unprecedented changes to the schedule this season, could the Lakers actually benefit from LeBron and Anthony Davis missing so much time? Anthony and Jas share their thoughts on those questions and talk about why the Lakers are still in a great position going into the playoffs. Following the break, the guys get into which of the play-in teams poses the biggest threat for the Lakers if they wind up finishing as the No. 7 seed. After that, Anthony and Jas discuss head coach Frank Vogel's dilemma on what to do at center and why Marc Gasol might be the best option playing the 5 next to Davis. Learn more about your ad choices.

Andre Drummond has played 10 games so far with the Los Angeles Lakers since joining them as a midseason buyout free agent. And with just 11 games to go in the regular season, the team has now seen just about half of the sample size they’re going to get on “The Big Penguin” before the playoffs begin, so it’s probably about time for us to discuss what we’ve seen so far, and what we feel like we (and the Lakers) can expect from Drummond in the postseason at this point. To do that, I could think of no one better to join me than Sopan Deb of the New York Times, also known as “the man who once argued on Twitter that Drummond will be a Hall of Famer one day.” After briefly discussing that whole episode, we dove in to Drummond’s play with the Lakers so far, and tried to make the cases both for and against him as a meaningful playoff contributor, as well as talking about how we see this addition going for the Lakers. Finally, to wrap up the show, we debated if we’re all giving this too much thought, and if the addition of Drummond will actually matter all that much one way or the other when the postseason rolls around.

In this episode, Anthony and Jas kick things off by discussing the big news that Anthony Davis will return for the game against the Dallas Mavericks on Thursday. AD has been out for 29 games, and head coach Frank Vogel says Davis will be on a 15-minute restriction on a game-to-game basis once he returns. The guys break down what this means for the Lakers rotation and how it impacts Andre Drummond and Marc Gasol. Then, Anthony and Jas share their thoughts on Davis and Drummond will co-exist on the court and how Vogel will distribute the minutes at center during the postseason. Following that, the guys get into why it's concerning that LeBron James is reportedly weeks away from returning.

The Lakers returned home (to fans!) from their seven-game road trip and unfortunately lost to the Boston Celtics despite the best efforts of Talen Horton-Tucker, Marc Gasol, and the deep bench in the fourth quarter. Sabreena and Christian delight in the exploits of those Lakers while placing the loss in some broader context about the team's place in the standings and their general fatigue factor.

In this episode, Anthony and Jas kick things off by discussing Andre Drummond's offensive struggles and if it is a sign of things to come.. The guys then get into why Drummond has to alter his game when LeBron James and Antony Davis return to the lineup. Anthony and Jas then talk about why having Drummond and Gasol on the roster is a good problem to have for the coaching staff. Following that, Anthony and Jas share their thoughts on why Frank Vogel should be getting some consideration for the NBA Coach of the Year Award. The Lakers have been playing .500 ball since losing both their superstars and have remained one of the best defensive teams in the league, so Vogel deserves a ton of credit.

After briefly arguing about Andre Drummond's value to the Lakers (0:00-18:40), hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin threw to a more interesting conversation they recorded earlier in the day with South Bay Lakers head coach and former Laker Coby Karl (19:09-58:42), who is hosting a new podcast called “The Curious Leader with Coby Karl,” featuring guests like legendary Lakers coach Phil Jackson, team governor Jeanie Buss, current player Jared Dudley, and a whole lot more. So after Harrison and Anthony gave Coby a hard time about encroaching on their podcasting turf, they then jumped into some more serious topics. What is it like to manage all the different factors that go into coaching a G League team while building his own coaching philosophy? What makes connecting with players on a personal level so important to him? What have the Lakers had him and his coaching staff doing after choosing not to send a team to the G League bubble? What are his favorite stories about Alex Caruso and Talen Horton-Tucker? Does he remember the time that Harrison and Anthony did an interview with him and it didn’t record? What was it like to teepee Ray Allen’s house? They touched on all those topics and a whole lot more on our latest podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Following LeBron James' injury on Saturday afternoon, the Los Angeles Lakers began life without their top two stars on Sunday night on the road against the Phoenix Suns. While the undermanned Lakers fought to the finish, the Suns came away with a double-digit win in what was likely a precursor for the weeks to come for L.A. Having taken the rough weekend for fans, Anthony and Jacob sit down to discuss the post-LeBron life in Los Angeles while recapping Sunday's game. They look at what positives could come from the Lakers not having James and Davis for the foreseeable future (not many!) and how the team might play without them. Then, they discuss whether the injuries change the Lakers' mindset heading into the trade deadline that is just days away. Should the team look for someone to help in the short term? Should they stand pat and only target buyout guys? After that, the two step back and look at the league in a bigger sense. James' injury paired with that of LaMelo Ball's leads the two to question whether the league is acting in the best interest of the players and just how much is at risk for the league this season. They discuss the condensed schedule, the rash of injuries this season to marquee players and connect the dots between the two. Finally, Jacob offers a preview of the upcoming game against the New Orleans Pelicans in a contest that now has an entirely different feel to it without James and Davis.

The Lakers beat the Hornets Thursday, and LeBron James seized the moment to make a statement for his MVP candidacy. Sabreena and Christian talk about why this particular game seemingly meant so much to LeBron and try to come up with words to describe his performance, specifically defensively as he closed the game at center. They then spend some time on LeBron's MVP case before addressing the continued Andre Drummond noise and what the Lakers could and should do with their center position.

Following that, they get into which players the Lakers should target via trade of the buyout market and which available big men could come in and take Marc Gasol's place. Then, the guys get into which teams around the league would give the Lakers the most fits in a playoff series and how each contending team will do down the stretch. To wrap things up, Brian and Andy look back at their career in the sports media industry and give some tips on how to stay relevant in the challenging industry. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Lakers beat the Golden State Warriors on Monday night, and we’re ready to break it down. On the latest episode of “Lakers, Explained” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — co-hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin dove into the game. First, both hosts wanted to apologize to Montrezl Harrell for underrating what he brings at times. He showed his value against the Warriors, and has made progress on defense lately. Then they praised Kyle Kuzma after the latest sign of his own improvements against Golden State. How much juice those two are giving the Lakers right now cannot be overstated. After all that, in the second half of the show, Harrison and Anthony got into why the Lakers making a trade for P.J. Tucker — they’re rumored to still be talking to the Rockets — work is a lot less likely than them adding him in the buyout market because of how complicated a deal would be. Plus, is such a deal even a good idea? Harrison broke down all the crazy level of machinations that would be required to make a trade that isn’t 1-for-1 work to outline how hard it would be for Rob Pelinka and the front office to get it done. And that goes for Tucker, or any of their other rumored targets. Finally, the two wrapped up the show by getting you ready for the second night of the back-to-back against an awful Minnesota Timberwolves by trying to get Anthony to name their coach and starting lineup. He did better than Charles Barkley does in “Who He Play For?”, but only marginally so. You can follow Harrison on Twitter at @hmfaigen, and Anthony @AnthonyIrwinLA. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Lakers played their final game of the first half of the season Wednesday and were down all three frontcourt starters plus Alex Caruso. It wasn't altogether surprising that the Lakers lost to the Kings in their absence, but Sabreena and Anthony still found reasons to enjoy the performance, both in the moment and for what it could mean going forward. After spending some time on the game itself, the two of them reminisce about their favorite Lakers All-Star memories. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

While Dennis Schröder was out, the Lakers went 0-4. Since he’s returned, they’ve won two games in a row. While that isn’t grounds to campaign for him to win MVP, it does mean it’s time to appreciate how much he helps this team and how important he is, especially with Anthony Davis set to miss at least five more games. So on today’s episode of “Lakers, Explained," that’s exactly what co-hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin did. Did they undervalue how important to this team Dennis is before? Is he really as helpful as he seemed to be on both ends? And why haven’t the Lakers extended his contract yet? They got into all that and more. But before they got to that, Anthony and Harrison wanted to address the latest free agency rumors about Alex Caruso, who reportedly may get offered the full mid-level exception. How much would Anthony and Harrison pay for Caruso, and do they think the Lakers will be able to keep both him and Schröder? They debated all that — and discussed the future of breakout Lakers star Damian Jones — and more on our latest show. You can follow Harrison on Twitter at @hmfaigen, and Anthony at @AnthonyIrwinLA.

The Lakers were off today and haven't done anything newsworthy since releasing Quinn Cook, so Sabreena and Christian went a little off-book for today's episode.

In anticipation of that event, Sabreena and Christian did a mock draft of this year's teams and give their best picks for this year's skills competitions. Learn more about your ad choices.

The Lakers have lost four games in a row, with their 114-89 embarrassment against the Utah Jazz basically being two and a half quarters of garbage time following a mostly competitive first frame. Yes, Anthony Davis and Dennis Schröder have missed time, but this team shouldn’t be this bad, should it? That’s the question we tried to answer on our latest episode of the Silver Screen and Roll postgame show. Hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin started out the show with the caveat that this loss was basically the same story as the last several, and that trying to glean any new analysis from it was basically an exercise in futility. What continued, however, were a few trends that have plagued the Lakers’ all season: Their horrible 3-point shooting, and their recent issue of allowing their opponents to hit too many threes of their own. Are either of those things reason for concern moving forward? To some degree yes, but Harrison also provided some context on last year’s team, and how this isn’t actually that big of a drop from the defending champs’ previous 3-point shooting woes. After discussing all that, Harrison and Anthony dove into the Lakers’ second-half schedule, and how tough of a slate they have coming up to round out their run to the playoffs. A run that will all come while the team is as tired as ever, and facing eight back-to-backs over their final 35 games to boot. Finally, they wrapped up the show with a plea for LeBron to consider taking it easy if things keep going this way, and for the team to make sure he stays healthy for the playoffs.

In this episode, Anthony and Jas kick things off by discussing the Lakers' recent 1-4 slide and what might be causing the downturn in their performance. The guys question if Frank Vogel should limit LeBron James' minutes and if it would be good to give him some time off during the season. Following that, they get into the Lakers' shooting woes and how the team can improve its offensive production. Then, Anthony and Jas discuss some of the Lakers that are struggling and why the team likely won't turn things around until Anthony Davis returns. The guys also share some quick thoughts on how the Wednesday game against the Utah Jazz could play out.

The Los Angeles Lakers have won their last six games, which is now their longest streak of the season, but if you’ve been paying attention, it really doesn’t feel like they’ve been that good. Mostly because they haven’t. That’s why their last three took them at least one overtime to sort out despite playing against lottery teams. But impressive or not, the team still is winning, after all, and so on our latest episode of the Silver Screen and Roll podcast, host Sabreena Merchant was joined by our own Harrison Faigen to discuss the positives they've seen during what has been perhaps the least impressive winning streak ever. To start, they lauded the continued growth and development Kyle Kuzma, who has morphed into a very different player than the rookie that Lakers Twitter fell in love with, but deserves a ton of credit for so drastically changing his game in order to play winning basketball for this team. Then, after a short break, Harrison and Sabreena discussed Anthony Davis’ season, and what they want to see from him over the rest of this year when he gets back on the court (beyond just good health). We know how good Davis can be, but there are a few things he could stand to keep working on as the regular season continues. Finally, to wrap up the show, our hosts broke down their other two favorite positive parts of the win streak the Lakers have been on: The endless energy of Montrezl Harrell, and the resurgence of Wesley Matthews.

In this episode, Anthony and Jas kick things off by breaking down the Lakers' ugly 114-113 win over the Thunder.

Following that, Anthony and Jas get into why the Lakers' offense hasn't been as sharp without Anthony Davis and if that could be an issue come playoff time. They also discuss KCP's shooting woes and why he needs to get going for the Lakers to return to being the dominant team they were to start the season. To wrap things up, Anthony and Jas touch on the Utah Jazz and if they are a threat to the Lakers come playoff time. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

After our last podcast covered the Lakers' wild win over the Atlanta Hawks and seven-day road trip, for today’s show, co-hosts Anthony Irwin and Harrison Faigen were joined by Mo Dakhil of Bleacher Report and The Athletic for their annual early season conversation to discuss the overarching basketball questions about this team as a whole. But first, Anthony needed to know: Why is Mo hating on the Lakers by dropping them down in his latest power rankings? Then Harrison was curious if Mo had ever had his own Courtside Karen experience during his days as an NBA and Australian national team video coordinator. After that, the three of them got into how the Lakers have played so far, and the outstanding production of Alex Caruso. But while the team has one of the best records in the NBA, but have also clearly coasted and/or struggled at times, both during their recent road trip and before. Is there anything there that concerns any of them long-term about the defending champs, and what is going on with the defense? Is it actually as good as the metrics suggest, and if so, why does it often look so poor when it goes wrong? Harrison, Anthony and (most importantly) Mo all have some theories about what is up with that end of the floor and a whole lot more.

With the Lakers — for now — set to play the Rockets on Tuesday for the second game in a row after beating them on Sunday, we figured there was no one better to have as a guest on the latest episode of “Lakers, Explained” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — than Michael Brown, who podcasts about the Rockets for "Harden My Take. He joined host Harrison Faigen for a discussion of where both of these teams stand in the middle of their baseball-style series, and what it’s been like to follow this Rockets team this year. After that, Mike and I got into what both teams can learn about each other from these two games, and finally, at the end, Mike -- who is the Rockets podcaster who got really upset about Alex Caruso's 16 points in the Conference semifinals -- was nice enough to give us some background on what the reaction to his viral, Lakers Twitter moment was like for him, and even give us an updated version.

Marc Gasol is one of the Lakers' most interesting new additions, so on the latest episode of “Lakers, Explained” — a podcast by Silver Screen and Roll — Harrison (@hmfaigen) was joined by Katie Heindl (@wtevs) of Uproxx, The Dishes and Dimes Podcast and a whole bunch of other places. Katie has covered Gasol with the Toronto Raptors for the last several years and is one of the foremost Marc Gasol appreciators on the internet, and so Harrison couldn’t think of anyone better to talk about the team’s (presumably) starting center. To start things off, Harrison and Katie discussed what Gasol’s last several years with the Raptors have been like, and what the current state of his game is. Then, they got into whether or not Katie was surprised to see him depart Toronto/Tampa Bay, and how he might fit in with the Lakers’ unique array of talent.

On the latest episode of the Silver Screen and Roll podcast, Anthony and Harrison discussed the latest rumors connecting the Lakers to Derrick Rose, where they think such reporting is coming from, and what the Pistons might want for him in a possible trade. They also discussed if we think Rose fits at all with this team and if a deal like this makes sense for the Lakers, which might be two entirely different questions. After that, Anthony and Harrison kicked off the audio version of our season in review series with a player who is in some ways tangentially related to those rumors: Talen Horton-Tucker, the only rookie on the Lakers’ full-time roster during their run to the title, and their only draft pick from the 2019 NBA Draft. If Horton-Tucker is capable of continuing to develop, he doesn’t make the acquisition of one-dimensional scorer like Rose completely pointless, but he does theoretically make it less necessary to give up assets to do so. To have that conversation, Anthony and Harrison invited a very special, fan-favorite guest and certified THT stan on to discuss. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In one of their most dominant defensive performances of the season, Anthony Davis and the Lakers used a stifling defense to outscore the Heat 36-16 in the second quarter, including a 28-4 run to end the half, to come away with the win. LeBron James was named Finals MVP after notching yet another Finals triple-double on Sunday with 28 points, 14 rebounds and 10 assists.

Jimmy Butler was magnificent, brilliant, dominant, unstoppable and any other number of adjectives on Sunday as his 40-point triple double led Miami to a 115-104 win in Game 3 of the NBA Finals, pulling the Heat to within a game at 2-1. Butler's historic night saw him shooting 14-of-20 from the field and 12-of-14 from the line to reach 40 points while notching 13 assists and 11 rebounds in just the third 40-point triple-double in Finals history. The Lakers did little to help their cause on the night as they turned the ball over 10 times in the first quarter and 19 times in total on the evening, an encapsulation of their overall mindset. Anthony Davis found himself in first-quarter foul trouble and he was never able to find a rhythm on either end of the court, managing just 15 points on 6-of-9 shooting with five turnovers. LeBron James did himself and the Lakers no favors also, turning the ball over eight times. Poor shooting nights from Danny Green and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope offset great performances off the bench from Markieff Morris and. Kyle Kuzma as they each scored 19 points while hitting nine three-pointers. Ultimately, though, Butler and the Heat had all the answers down the stretch as Miami won each quarter on the night with their six-point advantage in the fourth their largest. Anthony Irwin and Jacob Rude touch on each of those topics in the postgame podcast while discussing why Davis' performance both likely cost him a chance at the Finals MVP and is what separates him from being the elite of the elite in the NBA.

The current version of the Los Angeles Lakers is on a bit of a hiatus right now because of the Clippers’ choke job yesterday, so with them not playing until Friday, host Harrison Faigen (@hmfaigen) decided to go back in time a bit and talk to New York Times bestselling author Jeff Pearlman (@jeffpearlman) about his new book: “Three-Ring Circus: Kobe, Shaq, Phil, and the Crazy Years of the Lakers Dynasty.” The book dives into all kinds of crazy detail about that aforementioned dynasty, as well as the chaotic and fun years leading up to it, and how it all fell apart. It also is one of the most clear-eyed and candid pictures of the dysfunctional, insane and successful Kobe and Shaq relationship ever reported out, and so I wanted to talk to Jeff about what he learned over the course of reporting it out, what he took away from their dynamic and a whole lot more.

With the Houston Rockets losing to the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night, the Los Angeles Lakers won’t know who they’re playing in the next round of the NBA playoffs until Wednesday night. So instead of previewing one opponent, our latest podcast has to dig in to two very different possibilities. But before they did that, hosts Harrison Faigen and Anthony Irwin took a moment to laugh at the Milwaukee Bucks showing their flaws in Game 1 of their second-round matchup against the Miami Heat, and rant a bit about how ridiculous NBA awards voting can sometimes look after the playoffs begin. Should we start to value those accolades differently historically as a result? Then, after a short break, Anthony and Harrison discussed the Lakers’ two possible second-round opponents. They got into which one they see as a bigger threat to Los Angeles, what the relative strengths and weaknesses of the Rockets and Thunder are in a series against the Lakers, how the teams fared against each other over the course of this season, and why they both think that a bit too much is being made of the threat level of both opponents (in particular the Rockets). Finally, Anthony got into his theory on the reason for this constant hyping of the Lakers’ opponents, and it actually makes quite a bit of sense. Especially when we just did this whole song and dance with the Portland “Best Eighth Seed Ever” Trail Blazers, and, well, we all saw how that one turned out.

On Wednesday afternoon, the Milwaukee Bucks decision to not take the floor for their scheduled Game 5 meeting with the Orlando Magic kickstarted a movement that quickly picked up steam the rest of the day. Within hours, the rest of Wednesday's playoff games, including the Lakers-Blazers Game 5 contest, were canceled as players across the league united in a strike. By night's end, a meeting with the players and coaches inside the bubble led to LeBron James, the Lakers and the Clippers to voting to boycott the remainder of the playoffs. With the league's Board of Governor's set to meet at 11 a.m. on Thursday, the same time as a second meeting between the players, the season's future seems in serious doubt. Anthony and Jacob got together after everything played out on Wednesday to talk through how the day's events unfolded and how we got to this point. They also discussed what's at stake for the players, how the onus is now on the owners to take action and why Wednesday was the pinnacle of the player empowerment era.

Clippers look sluggish against the Dallas Mavericks, and what it could mean in a potential matchup against the Lakers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

A little less than 24 hours removed from the Los Angeles Lakers 100-93 loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Tuesday, the shock hasn’t worn off. As is the case with any playoff game, there were plenty of takeaways, most negative, from the defeat. Jacob and Anthony dive into the game and look to see where things went wrong for the Lakers aside from the obvious in their poor shooting. The team is due for a progression to the mean after a string of poor shooting performances in the bubble, but will that come before the team exits the playoffs? After missing open three-pointers as well as putbacks, do the Lakers need to change their offense or is it simply a matter of making the shots they’re taking? With JaVale McGee continuing to struggle, it also may be time to change the team’s starting lineup. Jacob and Anthony look at the possibilities with the rotation moving forward, ranging from starting lineup changes that include benching JaVale McGee to whether Dion Waiters should see more minutes. And with Rajon Rondo expected to return as soon as Game 2 in the series, where does he factor into the rotation? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The Lakers -- some of them, at least -- played and lost to the Houston Rockets Thursday, but the game itself was rendered almost irrelevant when LeBron James was ruled out.

In this episode, Jas is joined by Senior Writer with Lakers Nation, Trevor Lane, to discuss all of the latest news from Lakers land. To kick things off, the guys get into the Lakers claiming Kostas Antetokounmpo, younger brother of reigning NBA MVP Giannis, off waivers and if this was a move made in order to lure the Greek Freak to Los Angeles when he becomes an unrestricted free agent in 2021. Following that, Trevor and Jas get into how NBA free agency will affect small market teams going forward. With so many stars taking less money to play in big markets, will the owners fight for a chance to the current system in the next round CBA negotiations? With ESPN"s Brian Windhorst's comments suggesting Toronto and the Lakers felt like they were played by Leonard's camp, the guys look into how Kawhi's decision to leave the NBA Champion Raptors and spurn the Lakers for the Clippers played out. Did Kawhi really consider joining the purple and gold? or was it just a negotiation tactic? To wrap things up, Trevor and Jas look at the stacked NBA Western Conference and if any surprise teams can do some damage next season. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hampered by a voice quickly fading due to sickness, and Sabreena's devastating absence, Sasha attempts to pull off a solo pod in the vein of Stephen A. Smith. It delightfully feels like you are right there with her at midnight in her room talking about basketball with the crickets chirping in the background and the occasional whoosh of a passing car (giver her a break, she lives off Sunset — it's a busy area). The NBA doesn’t have a whole lot left to give us this offseason, and we’re all getting a little hungry as a result, so Sasha moves away from speculation about the team’s roster fit and addresses the chatter around the league and media about the nature of Anthony Davis' departure from New Orleans. The originator of the player empowerment era, Lebron, and one of the prominent faces of the future, AD, converge on our beloved team.

In this episode, Jas is joined by Sportsnet 650's Marcus Fitzgerald. To kick things off, the guys discuss the domino effect Kawhi Leonard had on the Lakers filling out their roster, with the latest addition being 3 and D guard Avery Bradley. With the Lakers reportedly running LeBron James at the point guard spot, Marcus and Jas share their thoughts on who else should start for the Lakers and how the coaching staff should set its rotations next season. Is Kyle Kuzma better suited to come off the bench as a scorer? Or should the team be running out their best five players right from tip-off. Following that, the discussion shifts to Lakers head coach, Frank Vogel, and how much leeway he will get this season from the front office. With LeBron's lack of patience and Jason Kidd lurking the background, would Vogel's job be on the line if the team struggles through the midway point of the season?

In this episode, Harrison Faigen and Jas Kang breakdown the opening day of NBA free agency. The biggest news is that Kawhi Leonard still has not made a decision and the Lakers are reportedly still very much in the mix. The guys get into if waiting for Kawhi is the best way to go and if the team did itself a disservice by missing out on most of the other available names. If Rob Pelinka is able to get Kawhi signed, or he strikes out with The Finals MVP, who can the Lakers bring in to fill out their roster behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Following that, Harrison and Jas talk about how the Lakers benefitted from teams overpaying for certain free agents, plus how Pelinka can get creative moving forward. To wrap things up, Harrison and Jas get into Brooklyn Nets getting Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, D'Angelo Russell moving to the Warriors, plus share their thoughts on the Jimmy Butler move to the Miami Heat.

In this episode, Anthony and Jas kick things off by discussing the Lakers shipping Moe Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones to the Wizards, clearing up enough cap space to sign another max-level free agent and how this provides some level of vindication for Rob Pelinka, although the job is not done yet. With the move, the rumors are pouring in. Kawhi Leonard will reportedly meet with the Lakers once free agency kicks and if the Warriors don't offer Klay Thompson the max, he will apparently meet with the team as well. What if neither guy ends up in the purple and gold next season? Anthony and Jas get into if the Lakers should chase a player like Jimmy Butler with all the cap space they have available, or use the money to bring in multiple players, including D'Angelo Russell. Following that, the guys look into which of the older, cheaper veterans would be a good fit on the squad next year as well as who is the best option available to fill in the center spot.

In this episode, Jas is joined by Jacob Rude. The big news from the NBA Draft was that the Lakers picked Virginia forward, De'Andre Hunter with the No. 4 pick, which we all thought was going to New Orleans as part of the Anthony Davis trade. But, the Pelicans ended up making a deal with the Atlanta, sending Hunter to the Hawks. With this move, the focus shifts to if the Hawks are willing to absorb the contracts of Isaac Bonga, Jermerrio Jones and Moe Wagner. If they're willing to do play ball, it would give the Lakers would be able to open up a max slot. Jacob and Jas get into if the Lakers should go that route, or use the cap space to acquire more veteran depth. Following that, the guys get into who could be potential targets for the Lakers in free agency and how they can fill out the roster under both scenarios as well as discuss the potential of the Lakers signing players to one-year deals and then look to bring in another big name in 2020.

Draft picks, shmaft shmicks. Harrison of "Lake Show" and Sasha of "I Love Basketball" get hype for the next few years of watching Anthony Davis play basketball with Lebron James on their favorite team. Who cares about the odd first round draft pick in 2025 when the next few years will be so lit? They break down the drafting rights exchanges from the trade deal and come to the conclusion that numbers are indeed stupid and hedonism is truly the way forward. Then news breaks! Mid-recording, a Woj-bomb throws shrapnel into the air. The Lakers have made Moe Wagner, Isaac Bonga, and Jemerrio Jones available for trade to a third team in order to clear cap space for a potential max free agent. Rob Pelinka, a man on truly paper thin ice with Lakers fans, is clawing and scratching his way to a third star. It's a good time to rep the purple and gold, y'all. Learn more about your ad choices.

Our long national nightmare is over, because the Lakers finally traded for Anthony Davis. Joining host Harrison Faigen to break it all down is Jeff Siegel (@jgsiegel) of earlybirdrights.com, and they talked about how much the Lakers gave up, how the timing of the deal probably eliminates the Lakers from being able to sign another max free agent, and why it was still probably the right path for the team to take.

In this episode, Alex Regla and Jas Kang breakdown the Raptors championship and what it means for Kawhi Leonard's pending free agency. Does bring a title to Toronto make it less or more likely that he stays in Canada, or does this open the door for the Lakers? The Leonard rumors have been dormant, but with the season officially over, the spotlight will begin to shine on the quiet superstar. Now that the on-court portion of the season is complete, the focus turns to player movement, and there's no bigger name in play than Anthony Davis. With the Lakers believing they're in the driver seat to get the deal done, why is David Griffin not pulling the trigger on the trade? Are the Pelicans stringing the Lakers along to try and get a better package out of Danny Ainge and the Boston Celtics? The Lakers biggest rivals apparently haven't been deterred by Davis' agent, Rich Paul, saying his client will likely leave in the summer of 2020. The guys discuss which teams package is more appealing and how much things have changed since the debacle at the trade deadline this past February. Alex and Jas then get into how the Lakers and Pelinka have to find a way to bring AD west and what it means for the organization if they don't. Even with the worst-case scenario occurring, the Lakers will still have enough cap space to be a major player in free agency. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Christian is tired of this game the Lakers are playing, and Sasha is here to help.

Windhorst also stated that Kyrie Irving is considering the Lakers has an option heading into free agency. The guys discuss how the former teammates could co-exist in Los Angles and what the domino effect could be on the rest of the roster.

In the wake of mixed reporting on their perception, it’s a key question that will be answered to some degree this summer. Also, Harrison and Alex are in agreement that Tyronn Lue has the best basketball case for being named the team’s next head coach, but also discussed an interesting theory from Alex on one reason why it’s not safe to call him a perfect choice just yet. They also delved into Larry Nance, Jr. addressing that report about him and Rob Pelinka, and the growing feeling that Pelinka’s perception around the league isn’t all negative, and actually appears a little mixed.
