  • Lebron Buyout?

    Jovan—great show, and love the Great Western Forum as well. My question is this: You’re the Lakers. Lebron doesn’t like the roster but instead of asking for a trade, he asks to be bought out. You have a reputation of treating your stars well. What would you do? Thanks.

  • Great episode

    This episode with Iztok Franko was exceptional. Great info and insight on Luka’s past success, well-reasoned options for building around him. Loved listening. Purposely switched to 1x speed to better absorb everything.

  • Potential trades/defense question

    Jovan—Love your show. What do you think of this idea—if you can trade Rui and get back a 2026 first, even highly protected, you would then have 2 tradeable firsts (2026 and 2031). Then trade Dalton, Gabe and one of the firsts to the Magic for Goga and Anthony Black. Magic get offense, we get a center and a defensive guard. Second question—how can the Lakers ever build a championship-level defense with Lebron, Austin and Luka? I don’t see it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Mailbag: Lakers' Updated Trade Plans, 2009 Lakers vs. 2020 Lakers, Scheme Changes?
Q: Do you have confidence in the Luka era being better than Rob's LBJ AD years?
It's too early to judge, but cautiously optimistic with recent roster improvements, still there are longstanding issues of depth and two-way talent.
Mailbag: Lakers' Updated Trade Plans, 2009 Lakers vs. 2020 Lakers, Scheme Changes?
Q: What should JJ's Scheme be in general on both sides of the ball this season?
They should adjust to a more structured offense with creativity while improving their defensive schemes by being selective with switching.
Mailbag: Lakers' Updated Trade Plans, 2009 Lakers vs. 2020 Lakers, Scheme Changes?
Q: Do you think AR is really worth 35 plus million?
Austin Reaves is in the class of low to mid 30s. If he takes another step next season, if there's improvement, then he could approach the mid to high 30s.
Mailbag: My BOLDEST Prediction, Luka's Lakers Expectations, Players With The Most To Prove
Q: How much improvement can we see with JJ and the coaching staff with a full off-season with Luka?
We can see considerable improvement from JJ and the coaching staff going into year two; JJ is introspective and accountable.
Mailbag: My BOLDEST Prediction, Luka's Lakers Expectations, Players With The Most To Prove
Q: Do you think the same energy will happen towards Luka as it did with Kobe?
Yes and no. Kobe is a standard for future superstars, but Luka is too young to be held to the same standards yet.
