Ep. 621: The Forgotten Ones (Vando, Gabe, Kleber - Who Has The Best Shot at Actually Mattering? And...Will it Matter When It Comes Time to TRADE?) Aug 31, 2025

Show notes

Happy Last 'No NFL Sunday' of the year!

In today's "Back to School" Episode, we ask the question:

Who out of Vando, Gabe, and Maxi - if any - could end up actually factoring into the Lakers' success to start the season? And even if they are relatively helpful...will it matter?

Let's take a Deeper Look at each of their seasons last year to assess their On-Court viability for the Lakers next season.
