Recapping a wild opening day of NBA free agency: The Lakers are still very much in the hunt for Kawhi Leonard, who can Rob Pelinka sign if the team gets or misses out on Leonard to fill out the roster, plus more with Harrison Faigen Jul 01, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Harrison Faigen and Jas Kang breakdown the opening day of NBA free agency. The biggest news is that Kawhi Leonard still has not made a decision and the Lakers are reportedly still very much in the mix. The guys get into if waiting for Kawhi is the best way to go and if the team did itself a disservice by missing out on most of the other available names. If Rob Pelinka is able to get Kawhi signed, or he strikes out with The Finals MVP, who can the Lakers bring in to fill out their roster behind LeBron James and Anthony Davis? Following that, Harrison and Jas talk about how the Lakers benefitted from teams overpaying for certain free agents, plus how Pelinka can get creative moving forward. To wrap things up, Harrison and Jas get into Brooklyn Nets getting Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant, D'Angelo Russell moving to the Warriors, plus share their thoughts on the Jimmy Butler move to the Miami Heat.

The Lakers clear enough cap space to sign a max player, Kawhi is rumored to meet with the Lakers, could Klay be in the purple and gold? and more with Anthony Irwin Jun 28, 2019

Show notes

In this episode, Anthony and Jas kick things off by discussing the Lakers shipping Moe Wagner, Isaac Bonga and Jemerrio Jones to the Wizards, clearing up enough cap space to sign another max-level free agent and how this provides some level of vindication for Rob Pelinka, although the job is not done yet. With the move, the rumors are pouring in. Kawhi Leonard will reportedly meet with the Lakers once free agency kicks and if the Warriors don't offer Klay Thompson the max, he will apparently meet with the team as well. What if neither guy ends up in the purple and gold next season? Anthony and Jas get into if the Lakers should chase a player like Jimmy Butler with all the cap space they have available, or use the money to bring in multiple players, including D'Angelo Russell. Following that, the guys look into which of the older, cheaper veterans would be a good fit on the squad next year as well as who is the best option available to fill in the center spot. To wrap things up, Anthony and Jas give what their sales pitch would be to Kawhi Leonard to come join the Lakers. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
