The last time Anthony talked about this, his proposed solution may have been a tad extreme so he dials it back a bit to offer another solution. Harrison likes the plan. The guys talk about this situation and compare it to another player whose time with the Lakers was probably cut short by nonsense.

Anthony breaks down a legitimately impressive win even counting that ugly third quarter. Here's what went right (a lot) and what the Lakers can hopefully carry forward from this win (again, hopefully, a lot).

That third quarter served as a quick and brutal reminder of how quickly things can go to crap in today's NBA. Yes, the win was nice, but here's hoping the Lakers also paid some attention to the lesson too. Anthony discusses that, then answers a couple question from the live audience.

The Lakers lost one of their ugliest games of the season and Anthony is starting to panic a bit. With the deadline approaching, he makes the case for selling off pieces, seeing as well know Rob Pelinka won't devote assets to this roster. The guys also address Rich Paul's latest comments on Austin Reaves, and Anthony has had enough.

The Lakers said Rui Hachimura was coming back. There was supposedly a plan. Then, he showed up for the game wearing jewelry to go with the warmups he had on, clearly with no plan to play in the game. Anthony takes issue with this and makes the case that the basketball gods agreed with him.

Anthony once again makes the case for Rob Pelinka choosing a direction and sticking to it, only this time, he thinks the Lakers should be looking to turn some of their rotation into assets they can use moving forward. Fare thee well, Rui Hachimura.

Lakers fans should be rooting hard for the team to look good tomorrow with a rotation that makes a lot more sense than it has for most the year to this point.

Anthony and Pete set the table one month out from the trade deadline with some help from the league, given that Trae Young has already been traded and it seems like Ja Morant might be too. If you want to be optimistic about what the Lakers might do, this is the episode for you.

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.

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.
