  • Question

    Since Ayton & Jaxson clearly aren’t championship centers, how do the Lakers solve that problem? I love Duren and he’s everything Ayton isn’t but is there any way they throw him an offer sheet and Detroit doesn’t match it this summer? It’s been over a year Luka still doesn’t have a viable 5!

  • Question for the mailbag

    Dear Anthony- thanks for the awesome work and the sizzling great western forum. While you were (rightly) critiquing Keep His Job Rob’s endless focus on the horizon I was reminded of this line from Yoda, spoken to Luke, in Empire Strikes Back:

    "This one, a long time have I watched. All his life as he looked away, to the future, to the horizon. Never his mind on where he was. Hmm? What he was doing. Hmm. Adventure, ha. Excitement, ha. A Jedi craves not these things. You are reckless!".

  • Mailbag question and love the show!

    Hi Anthony! Been a huge fan of your work for a long time. A few years ago my dad, who is the reason why I am a Laker fan, asked me if there were any Laker podcasts/shows he felt I should listen to and you were the first person I recommended. Now nearly everyday when he and I talk, one of the first things he asks me is if I listened to the lounge. Thank you for giving me something that my dad and I can always connect about. Anyway, my question is do you think the college connection between Bufkin... more

  • Lakers hater

    Constantly negative takes. I don't know why he even calls himself a fan. He has written absolutely gross things about Kobe and never has taken accountability about it. Then he fakes tears upon Kobe's death. If you like misinformation and negativity, this is the podcast for you. Absolutely lazy podcaster who doesn't fact check so he consistently gets things wrong. Basically a shock jock.

  • Three picks for Ware?

    Love the show and hope you’re doing well. We should have assets similar to the JJJ trade package this summer. Why not chase an up and coming center like Kalel Ware? It sounds like Miami floated him for Giannis discussions so maybe he’s available

FULL: Lakers pick up a big win; Lessons they should take from it; JJ on organized offense; Q&A
Q: What was the turning point in the Lakers' approach against the Pelicans?
The host pointed to aggressive ball movement, breaking pressure by getting around traps, and moving the ball quickly to shooters, which opened up the offense and mitigated turnovers.
PART 2: JJ Redick's dust-up with Luka Doncic was a good thing
Q: Did you watch the altercation of Luka and JJ vs. the Warriors? Legit tension or in-game competitiveness?
The host says he loved seeing the exchange and interprets it as a sign of real, evolving communication between players, viewing it as part of their development and a sign of a growing relationship that could improve on-court dynamics.
FULL: MAILBAG - Lakers need to build its culture, then its roster around Luka Doncic
Q: Which center would you target that could fit alongside Luka and Austin?
A center with elite defense, space-creating ability, and the capacity to roll to the basket and protect the rim; names discussed include players like Jalen Duren as a mold, with the Lakers aiming for a high-impact defensive anchor who can stay healthy and pair well with Luka.
FULL: MAILBAG - Lakers need to build its culture, then its roster around Luka Doncic
Q: If you had to make the choice between keeping Austin Reeves and going out to get a starting caliber center, what would you pick?
I would keep Austin Reeves as a cornerstone piece and then pursue a center who fits with Luka, because the center position is crucial for a Luka-led team, and you can address the center while keeping Reeves.
FULL: Lakers need to change their approach to the center spot
Q: Since Ayton and Jackson clearly aren't championship centers, how do the Lakers solve that problem?
The Lakers need to rethink how they approach the center position, possibly considering a max offer for Jalen Durin, a young player with potential.
