Lakers Lounge

PART ONE: Anthony was in the middle of talking about how things might go if the Lakers operate with the same urgency they showed with LeBron James and Anthony Davis, with Luka Doncic, and then news dropped that changed the entire plan for the show. Mark Williams is a Laker.

PART TWO: Anthony continues to try to gather himself after the Lakers traded Dalton Knecht and a pick for Mark Williams. He quickly texted Raj to see if he could help and used an old favorite clip to pass the time until Raj showed up.

PART THREE: Anthony and Raj look at the assets the Lakers have to work with and, using the information at Anthony's disposal, try to offer up what they think the Lakers should do from here and predict what they think happens. To wrap things up, Anthony takes questions from the live audience.

LOWDOWN: Anthony breaks down a fun win over the Clippers in Inglewood. Then, he offers up the latest he's heard heading into the trade deadline. To wrap things up, he narrates his latest column for ClutchPoints.

FULL: Anthony and Raj are enjoying the basketball the Lakers are playing even before adding Luka Doncic into the mix and it has them saying all kinds of crazy things. They talk about that, the win over the Clippers, the latest Anthony is hearing at the deadline and how they'd prefer to see it play out.

PART ONE: Anthony thinks the Lakers can win a championship this year. Raj agrees. Some stuff has to go their way, but the Lakers' title window was opened back up by landing Luka Doncic. It's time to take advantage or really position themselves to do so this summer after a playoff run this year.

PART TWO: The guys shift their attention to the trade deadline after Anthony lays out what he's hearing heading into the busiest 24 hours or so in the NBA calendar. Can they get a center? What kind of center should they be targeting? Should they mess with this rotation? They wrap with questions from the live audience.

FULL: Anthony welcomes Kirk Henderson back into The Lounge to vent. The guys talk about the trade, Luka's fit, Nico Harrison's weird-ass presser and more.

PART ONE: Anthony lets Kirk rant and rave about this trade, then the guys laugh at the notion that Luka and LeBron might not be able to play basketball together.

PART TWO: Anthony doesn't think any of Dallas' explanations are lining up, so he asks someone who has paid way more attention to it than he has *who also doesn't get Dallas' explanations*
