Lakers Lounge

The Lakers spent quite a few transaction cycles lining up this summer. Now that it's mostly over, Anthony finds himself wondering if this outcome was worth it. He doesn't think so; Pete does. So they debate their different takes on how this all played out.

Anthony is legitimately concerned about this roster. Pete is disappointed in the offseason but is much higher on this group than Anthony. So, Pete tries to sell Anthony on this summer, starting with its biggest acquisition.

The state of things isn't great. Not great at all. Anthony and Harrison discuss everything there is to discuss in this Kuminga decision, then turn their attention to Jeanie Buss, who made her priorities crystal clear by suing her siblings (again).

Jonathan Kuminga chose the Timberwolves over the Lakers. Several things had to go wrong for this outcome and multiple things can be true at the same time. Anthony runs through those things, then he and Harrison discuss what this means.

The Lakers told us to wait for this summer, and that doing so despite having some combination of LeBron James, Anthony Davis and Luka Doncic would all be worth it. Hard to feel like they've lived up to that promise now.

Anthony and Harrison wrap up their conversation about Jeanie Buss (once again) suing her siblings. They answer a couple questions from the live audience to wrap things up.

DISCLAIMER: This was recorded about an hour or so before Jonathan Kuminga agreed to a deal with the Timberwolves. So yeah, should be a funny listen at the least.

Reports surfaced connecting Jonathan Kuminga to the Bulls and Anthony had enough. He rants and raves about how Kuminga's camp has handled all of this and how sick of it the league has become. Word also dropped that Jeanie Buss is suing her siblings. Good times. We're having fun. So much fun.

A little more reporting has dropped lately about the Kuminga situation, so Anthony rolls through it and launches into a rant about Kuminga and his camp not accepting reality.

After Anthony wrapped up the conversation about Kuminga, word dropped that Jeanie Buss has filed to remove her siblings from any decision-making capacity with the Lakers, a move that hammers home how unfit she is to continue as governor of the franchise.

Anthony mourns the loss of Dolly Parton, as her passing was announced right before he went live. He segues awkwardly to JJ Redick's upcoming season, and wonders whether Redick can maintain the same trajectory he's been on through his first two seasons.
