Lakers Lounge

Anthony dives into Matisse Thybulle with Marc Stein reporting the Lakers are interested in him. Between yesterday's episode and now this interest, we have a pretty clear understanding of what the Lakers are attempting to do to round out their offseason, so he offers up that plan. He examines their hypothetical depth chart, then wraps with a Q&A with the live audience.

Anthony discusses Matisse Thybulle as a free agent target and then offers the steps the Lakers seem to be hoping to take to round out their offseason.

Anthony stans Jarred Vanderbilt. We're just as shocked as you.

Anthony has noticed a trend in some of his interactions, where the sense is he and everyone covering the team would criticize anything the Lakers do. He pushes back on that and explains where his concerns come from. He just doesn't see eye-to-eye with how Rob Pelinka views basketball as a sport. Still, even while he and others who cover the team may not love everything the Lakers have done, no one is rooting for them to fail, locally.

Anthony got some info recently about how the Lakers are using their summer league team that he thinks presents these games through a very different prism. He offers up that intel, gives his thoughts on the approach, then dives into a lengthy Q&A with the live audience that (of course) hit on the Jonathan Kuminga situation.
