Lakers Lounge

Anthony and Harrison discuss the Lakers hiring their first of two assistant GMs and the nagging questions that have been bugging Anthony. They also discuss the Knicks dominating the Cavs and the impact that might have on LeBron James' offseason.

Anthony and Harrison explain why this is, for the most part, an objectively net-positive for the Lakers. But still, that really annoying voice in the back of their minds just won't shut up about a couple unfortunate truths about what led to this hire, instead of some higher-level talent from more respected organizations.

Anthony and Harrison continue their conversation about the Lakers' efforts to become more like the Dodgers and the speed bumps they've run into, as people around the league aren't sure who will be in charge for how long. They also touch on the Knicks run through the east and, more importantly for Lakers fans, the Cavs falling squarely on their face. LeBron can't possibly look at that and think Cleveland is a better spot to end his career than Los Angeles.

The Lakers need superstar talent and have the ability to potentially add one in some pretty unique circumstances this summer. Anthony and Pete discuss why they want the Lakers to make their push for him, all the while understanding why some Lakers fans are less than sold on the idea.

Anthony has spent this week trying to convince two different guests on trading for Giannis. He finally has someone who has spent the year selling him on the idea.
