Ah, yesterday. When we had hope that maybe, just maybe, Rob Pelinka would execute a trade in the offseason that would allow the Lakers to keep a useful, cheap player. Those were the days.

Anthony opens up the ol' Twitter mailbag, where listeners are apparently really excited about the Marcus Smart addition.So excited that they're wondering if he might play award-winning defense. Anthony discusses that and plenty more.

The Lakers still have Luka and LeBron. They got here in a weird way but they've improved so far this offseason. Let's take a second to hope. Hoping is fun. The guys wrap with a couple questions from the live audience, too.

Anthony jotted down some thoughts about LeBron James while he was flying home that combined the things he was hearing in Las Vegas with the options if you zoom out at the NBA landscape. He narrates that piece and also offers some context to the reaction to the parts of this that were aggregated yesterday.

The Lakers were in on Bradley Beal. They didn't wind up getting him. Anthony explains why, then gets into why it matters and doesn't that he won't be a Laker. He then offers a little more context on the LeBron-Lakers situation and then dives into a few questions from the live audience.
