PART 1: Luka MVP voting results exemplify Lakers voter fatigue
05/19/2026 | 19 mins.
Anthony uses Luka finishing so far behind in the MVP voting results to explain why he's so fed up with this process on the whole.
PART 2: How to build around Luka and Austin (who isn't going anywhere)
05/19/2026 | 21 mins.
Anthony explains why he'd be shocked to see Austin Reaves anywhere other than back with the Lakers and then segues from there to a discussion about how the Lakers will need to build around he and Luka Doncic.
PART 3: The Lakers can't just let everyone walk whenever they don't win a championship
05/19/2026 | 24 mins.
Anthony has seen the comments since the season ended and explains why just letting guys walk isn't in the Lakers' best interests heading into the summer. No, they don't need to run it back either, but a good offseason will need to feature more nuance.
FULL: Jovan Buha on whether last season was a success; Offseason predictions
05/15/2026 | 59 mins.
Anthony and Jovan look back on last season after he realized he never really has to this point. Was last year a success? Well, kind of. Mostly, sure, but only kind of. From there, they dive into the top stories facing the Lakers this summer: LeBron's future, Austin's contract and how they'll need to improve the roster around them.
