PART 2: Ja Morant hits the market; Lakers need a guard... No Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

Anthony and Pete give their thoughts on Ja Morant potentially being traded. Neither are very high on his market. Then, they come to grips with an unfortunate point: The Lakers probably need a guard. Not this one, but still.

FULL: Giannis shoots down trade rumors (kind of); Please move on, Lakers Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

Giannis spoke to The Athletic about all the trade rumors and while he may have intended to put all the noise to bed, the disclaimers he kept putting on the message will probably have the opposite effect. Anthony and Harrison laugh at Giannis' attempts, then make the case that the Lakers need to move on from waiting for him to become the villain he'd need to be so as to leave Milwaukee.

PART 1: Giannis didn't exactly nail that interview Jan 09, 2026

Show notes

Giannis tried to disspell the noise emanating from his agent's efforts to get him out of Milwaukee and didn't exactly succeed. Anthony and Harrison explain why all these superstars are screwing these situations up.

PART 2: Please get off the Giannis rollercoaster; We're begging Jan 09, 2026

Think of the children, Rob. Think of Bronny.

FULL: RAJ IS BACK MEGA POD Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Yeah the Lakers lost but Raj and Anthony haven't spoken since 2025 so there was A LOT to catch up on. So grab a seat, get comfy. Come along for the ride.

PART 1: The Lakers were never going to win, but Luka Doncic sure as hell tried Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Anthony and Raj were both super impressed with the game Luka Doncic played with the Lakers' back up against the wall. Too bad no one else was really there to help him steal a win.

PART 2: Rui has his work cut out for him when he gets back Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Jake LaRavia has made a strong case for himself as the fifth starter in Rui Hachimura's absence. The guys debate whether LaRavia has done enough, how long a leash Hachimura will have if he still is the starter and, oh yeah, laugh at the Kings.

PART 3: The Lakers might have f-you expiring money Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

Anthony makes the case, based on the Trae Young trade return, that the Lakers should be aggressive with their expiring contracts to really go get their guy or, at the very least, get a pretty good player on a longer contract than their current team likes, but get an asset in the process.

PART 4: Deandre Ayton for Daniel Gafford who says no Jan 08, 2026

Show notes

We're starting to really know who Deandre Ayton is after the honeymoon period comes to a close. Now that we're learning all this, Anthony wants to know how open Raj is to trading Ayton.

FULL: Lakers get more clutch reps, another clutch win Jan 07, 2026

Show notes

Anthony breaks down yet another clutch win, this time against a Pelicans team that played fairly well. LeBron looked great. Luka thought so too. Jake LaRavia made another case for starting. Anthony discusses all that, plus what the live audience wanted him to talk about, as well.
