Lakers Lounge

Minutes before going live for yesterday's stream, news broke that Daniel Gafford is going to sign an extension with the Dallas Mavericks. Initially, it seemed this would take him off the trade market. Then, because of the reported value of the extension, Gafford very quickly landed right back on the trade block. Anthony explains what was going on there, and wonders about some of the reporting on this story.

Anthony got a fun question about the front office, which made him think long and hard about what kind of investment Guggenheim might eventually make into the organization, once they get a close, honest look at how Jeanie Buss and Rob Pelinka run things the next year or so.

Right after the Lakers sold, Anthony wrote down all the reasons why Lakers fans should be excited -- and why the other 29 owners aren't exactly thrilled.

What a crazy day. Anthony recaps all the events and their rippled effects, then kicks off the offseason officially getting going with some notes and reaction to the Lakers sale. He answers a couple questions to wrap things up.

In what might go down as one of the crazier days of this NBA season, a new champion was crowned, a star suffered a brutal injury and another was traded fairly unceremoniously. Anthony reacts to it all.

Anthony noticed a consistent trend in the skepticism he saw about Guggenheim buying the Lakers from Jeanie Buss. He addresses the hole in their argument. He then officially kicks off the offseason with a couple notes, then answers a few questions to start your work week.

The Dodgers were once a team mired in mediocrity (or worse). Their owners were quite literally stealing money from the team and were considered some of the least popular people in their sport. Things were BAD. Then, Guggenheim bought the team. Anthony and Eric Stephen talk about the transformation they've watched and whether Lakers fans can expect the same with their team.

Using Dodgers history, Anthony and Eric forecast how a transition of power might go down us Guggenheim now owns the Lakers.

The Lakers are often bogged down by the math they're constantly doing with organizational wins. Anthony and Eric discuss how the Dodgers have handled this under Guggenheim ownership and whether it might extend to the Lakers.

Anthony and Raj react to the blowout Pacers victory in game six and look ahead to game seven Sunday. From there, they dive into the Lakers sale and reports on Jeanie Buss' continued role with the Lakers moving forward. Anthony uses Dodgers history to predict how things will likely go for Rob Pelinka and JJ Redick.
