HOOK: Bufkin waived, Timme Time? LeBron's Lakers future Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

The Lakers have some decisions to make this summer, but now find themselves with one over the weekend. Rob Pelinka made the decision (laudably) to waive Kobe Bufkin and now has enough money to fill that roster spot.

Anthony has been intrigued by how far apart he and Pete are on the subject of LeBron's future, so the guys hash out how they think this is going to play out and how they'd like to see it play out.
