PART 1: Who is/was the bigger gamble, Walker Kessler or Kobe Bryant?
08/11/2026 | 25 mins.
Anthony believes Walker Kessler is the biggest gamble in Lakers history. Andy Kamenetsky thinks it's Kobe. The guys present their cases and launch their brutal blood feud with each other.
PART 2: Lakers-Warriors again, really? Lakers-Sixers on Christmas
08/11/2026 | 26 mins.
Anthony and Andy wrap up their Kessler conversation, then dive into the couple of games that were announced earlier Tuesday. Lakers-Warriors is pretty uninspired. Lakers-Sixers was also pretty predictable but significantly more fun to think about.
FULL: Is Walker Kessler the biggest gamble in Lakers history?
08/10/2026 | 56 mins.
Anthony thinks so. What do you think? Either way, Kessler can work out. The bar is going to be high, but he's talented enough to meet or even exceed it.
PART 1: Was there a way to acquire Kessler without giving up
08/10/2026 | 27 mins.
The Lakers gave up so much to acquire Walker Kessler that they have nothing now to address the gaping hole in their starting lineup. Anthony wonders whether there was another approach that may have kept some flexibility open and explain why he thinks Kessler is the biggest gamble in Lakers history.
PART 2: So... what if Kessler doesn't upscale? Q&A - Was Kobe a bigger gamble?
08/10/2026 | 29 mins.
There's just no two ways around this one. If Walker Kessler doesn't live up to expectations, the Lakers are completely screwed and people should/will lose jobs. No pressure! Anthony wraps up with a Q&A with the live audience.
