Lakers Lounge

Anthony breaks down the Lakers options now that they've apparently figured out they're a bit thin at the center position (after losing two really good backup centers). He then felt bad about how few questions he answered from Twitter yesterday, so he dives back into that thread as well as the live chat to wrap up the episode.

Anthony discusses some of the rumored center options for the Lakers as they have apparently realized how thin that rotation is now. From there, he asks the pretty natural follow-up: Uh, why trade away Deandre Ayton if it leaves you in your current circumstance?

Anthony finishes up his extended mailbag with the audience by comparing and contrasting Adou Thiero and Jarred Vanderbilt, discussing whether the Lakers are set up to succeed in the playoffs and more.

Anthony comes back from the weekend with a slight update to the Jonathan Kuminga situation. Cam Johnson has been presented as a backup plan, but Anthony doesn't consider it particularly likely. He discusses all that, then dives into a lengthy and productive Q&A with the live audience.

Anthony updates the Jonathan Kuminga situation now that Mario Hezonja is back in the NBA and on one of the teams that was interested in Kuminga.
