Lakers Lounge

Honestly, buckle in. This one goes ALL over the place.

Giannis hadn't been traded when they recorded this (he eventually was dealt, to be clear), and the Lakers never factored seriously into his pursuit. What should Lakers fans make of that?

Rob has made every excuse in the book to this point. That won't fly this summer if it isn't an outright success.

The Lakers promised Luka Doncic a lot this summer. His opt-out opportunity is sooner than you think. So... is his eventual departure something the Lakers have to actually be concerned about? Anthony and Harrison both think so, if this summer doesn't go exceedingly well.

Over the weekend, Anthony reported the Lakers had spoken to the Pistons about Isaiah Stewart and Bucks about Kel'el Ware to check on their prices in the event Giannis went to Miami. Marc Stein reported he hadn't heard that and the internet ran with that to conclude Anthony didn't know anything. So, Harrison and Anthony discuss the situation, how reporting works and the media literacy needed to navigate this rumor world.
