Anthony is, frankly, sick of the same old conversation about this summer so he's going to reframe it. In this episode, he and Pete Zayas (LFR) participate in a snake draft to build out their ideal 10-man rotations using only former Lakers. From there, they discuss some lessons they learned from the draft and extend them to this offseason and beyond. They wrap with questions from the audience but not until after Pete shocks the world with a couple revelations.

Anthony is coming to realize that LeBron and Luka can obviously fit at least fairly well, but it's inherently short-term because of where LeBron is in his career.
