Alright, the Bradley Beal Domino has fallen. So will the Lakers FINALLY make a Trade NOW?

Ep. 612: Heat Check (Grading the Lakers Offseason So Far, Who Had the Best FA Signing This Summer, + Is LeBron James Still a Laker?) Jul 11, 2025

...

The Offseason is OVER! Well, actually - no, it's not. But it kind of feels over?

With that said, we take a premature 'assessment' of the Lakers Offseason and Grade LAL's Roster Moves as things currently stand.

Then we take a look at the rest of the league, what other teams did, and see how the Lakers stack up.

Finally, we talk some Final Roster Spot Options, Trade Targets, and...is LeBron still a Laker next year?

**Note: Apologies for the sound quality. Classic Mic Output problem (even though Streaming software told me my Mic was properly plugged in.

Ep. 611: Patience Zero. (Lakers Offseason Free Agency Hysteria Continues, What LAL Plans to Do with the BAE, Trades, & Bradley Beal?) Jul 08, 2025

Show notes

Alright, so...what are we freaking out about today?

Hayes' NTC? DFS' Non-guaranteed contract? The fact that Adou Thiero isn't signed on for FOUR YEARS?!

Today, let's run through the Lakers BAE (or lack thereof), the Bradley Beal Scenario, the "Hidden" BAE Plan, and why I don't think a Roster Consolidation Trade is coming anytime soon. And why...that might be OK.
