They talk about JJ and Luka's somewhat conflicting ideologies and the Lakers needing to pick a direction this summer and actually do the work before the season.

One particular takeaway from this season keeps bugging Anthony so he decided to bug Jovan about it. It seems as if Luka and JJ's ideologies somewhat clash when it comes to the center position. If that comes to a head, the guys discuss the likely outcome. Get ready to learn traditional centers, JJ.

Before the series ended, Anthony wrote about Austin Reaves' future with the Lakers and how it might be impacted by how this series has played out and the Lakers' reliance on Luka Ball. The rest of the series didn't go well for Reaves either, so it's worth revisiting this.
