Bruce Brown? Bruce Brown! Or, Bruce... Brown... Jun 29, 2023

Show notes

After weeks and weeks of wandering through the desert of Runitback, the Lakers finally gave Anthony something to talk about and, boy, is it a fun subject.

But, because Anthony is who he is, he had to ask if this is worth all it could cost.

Jovan Buha on the Lakers' efforts to run last season's roster back Jun 28, 2023

Show notes

Jovan Buha of The Athletic joins the show again to offer up the latest on what he's heard about this Lakers offseason. Sounds like they're still focused on running last year's team back, but it's also fair to ask if they should. He and Anthony discuss the futures of D'Angelo Russell, Lonnie Walker IV, Mo Bamba and Malik Beasley. They wrap with a conversation about how much sense it makes to run back a team that got swept out of the conference finals.

What the John Collins trade means for the Lakers Jun 27, 2023

Show notes

John Collins was finally traded. The return... woof.

He quickly gives some Damian Lillard thoughts because there aren't enough of those out there.

Dan Woike of the L.A. Times stops by the show to discuss the offseason the Lakers have had thus far and them continuing to signal publicly and privately that they're likely running most of last year's roster back.

Would the NBA be a bigger league had more markets won earlier? Jun 26, 2023

Show notes

It's a mailbag Monday and Anthony had a ton of questions to get to, including some on the NBA at-large and whether the league would be in a better place had more markets won than to this point, D'Angelo Russell's market, the Lakers' young core and more.
