Anthony and Pete are both optimistic that the Lakers should be able to address quite a few needs over the next month, and will. They explain why. They also give their thoughts on Trae Young being moved. They loved that deal for everyone involved. It also signalled a new era in NBA contracts.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Anthony responds to a trade idea from a listener but points out why he'd like to open flexibility for the buyout market. Then, Anthony marvels at Rob Pelinka somehow failing to build a competitive roster now while also not having planned for any kind of future via an asset cache. It's honestly impressive.
