Lakers Lounge

First, Anthony starts with a rant directed at the people he saw complaining about flattened lottery odds and how they seem to be missing the point. Then, listeners asked about trading Austin Reaves and then specifically about moving him for Walker Kessler and stuff and that got the wheels spinning in Anthony's head.

Anthony uses one of his ridiculous spur-of-the-moment analogies to explain why he thinks the Mavericks might be more open to trading with the Lakers again now that they have the top pick in this draft. He also reacts to the Giannis rumors and the basketball last night. Wildly packed show.

Anthony and Harrison react to the Mavericks "winning" the lottery, the eventful basketball from last night, the Celtics' window potentially slamming shut and plenty more. They also discuss the Lakers' options on the trade market and how they continue to point back to Austin Reaves as a trade asset.

Anthony goes full tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist and calls out the league for it's latest blatant rigging of the draft lottery that honestly is what's probably best for the NBA. Yeah that's a crazy sentence but this was an insane segment.

Anthony and Harrison continue their conversation about one of the wilder nights in recent NBA history but then circle back to the Lakers offseason, which feels like it's riding to a fairly large extent on what happens with Austin Reaves.

Anthony spent most of the day with family for Mother's Day but hopped on to record a quick update on what he's hearing ahead of tonight's NBA Lottery.

Jovan Buha stops by and boy do he and Anthony have a lot to talk about. They start with that series, which made both of them look pretty dumb. From there, they discuss what the Lakers need to do to ensure that doesn't happen again. They talk about JJ and Luka's somewhat conflicting ideologies and the Lakers needing to pick a direction this summer and actually do the work before the season.

Anthony is used to being wrong about sports, but not THAT wrong. He and Jovan (who last spoke before the series) discuss what went wrong for the Lakers and some of the blindspots they carried into the matchup.

One particular takeaway from this season keeps bugging Anthony so he decided to bug Jovan about it. It seems as if Luka and JJ's ideologies somewhat clash when it comes to the center position. If that comes to a head, the guys discuss the likely outcome. Get ready to learn traditional centers, JJ.

The Knicks did it again. Or, the Celtics did it again? Either way, BING BONG AGAIN. The guys revel in that Celtics loss, discuss their dogmatic commitment to the three and debate the ethics of hack-a-whoever. From there, they segue back to the Lakers to discuss JJ Redick's own ideologies and how they might be at odds with Luka Doncic's preferred approach and pick back up on Anthony's discussion about the Lakers' issues with small ball.
