It's small sample size theater, but the numbers on the starting group are pretty damning. They're so bad that they're sinking the net rating on Luka/LeBron/Austin minutes completely, something that can't continue. The guys discuss the Lakers' ceiling... more

  • Bron is 40 *cues in Dalton’s Damnnn*

    Hopefully by the time you get this it’s not like so “last week news” as I’m writing this I’m listening to the pod of training camp you dropped end of the month but I’m not sure how many of the listeners actually watched Kai Cenats stream (yourself included…I’d be shocked lol), but I was victim as my favorite Bron, is like off script Bron (think the Shop on HBO) when he’s like cursing, being himself and not being a media puppet or appeasing to sponsors. Obviously they’re clips all over Twitter b... more

  • Question for the mailbag

    Dear Anthony, (you can read this part on air if you like or keep it to yourself): I cannot thank you enough for your work. I’ve been listening for seven years and your voice carried me through a broken leg, a global pandemic, and a divorce. For keeping me company on my good days and bad, I thank you.)

    The question I have: what do you think about JJ mentioning Mark Walter first when asked about his extension? I figured you would have latched on to this, but he thanked “Mark, Jeannie, and Rob”. ... more

  • Question? For future talking point!

    Buss Bros announcement would seem to put them in a position to be part of an investment group for future ownership, whether its LeBron or some other established franchise, you can go into any rumblings or back alley whispers, good topic for slow day!

    Also, I fell in love with your show when you brought in larger topics thru the sports lense. It is tough to talk about these things w/o strong feelings on either side. And thru sports ppl seem to be more willing to listen and comprehend instead o... more

    I watched Augustas Marčiulionis at Saint Mary’s and think he might have a shot at getting a 2-way spot on South Bay. He was a 2 time WCC player of the year like Podz. Thoughts?

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

FULL: The Lakers as a Rorschach test; MAILBAG
Q: What do you think about Rui not closing last night?
While Rui is a popular and capable player, his role may shift if the Lakers pursue a trade that involves strengthening their lineup; he remains valuable but is seen as tradable in certain contexts.
FULL: The Lakers as a Rorschach test; MAILBAG
Q: What internal roster improvements would allow Rob to keep his first round pick heading into the summer?
The Lakers need to address a 3 and D wing position and ensure Marcus Smart can improve his shooting, or otherwise consider trading for a high-caliber player without losing internal assets.
PART 2: Is Rui Hachimura on the table in trades?
Q: What did you make of Rui not closing last night, and what are you hearing on the willingness to have him included in trades?
The Lakers are willing to include Rui in trades, but he is considered a valuable asset within the organization and they would not treat him as salary filler.
PART 2: Is Rui Hachimura on the table in trades?
Q: Do you think there's any advantage for us fans who want to line up change smart for Rui, with this style of schedule, if the glaring issues happen twice in a row against the same team?
The larger sample size is what matters more, and obviously results are always going to matter in this kind of topic as well.
FULL: LeBron practices; So does Shaq; What does his return mean?
Q: How many minutes will LeBron get?
Around 25 to 30 minutes, as he's currently considered questionable and wants to see how his body reacts post-practice.
