The Lakers have changed ownership three times in the last year or so. This time has come with an extra side of billionaire drama. You know how Anthony feels about this, but how about Raj, who looks at things through a very different prism?

"That is NOT YOUR GIRL."

Jeanie Buss is fighting back against her siblings over their decision to sell the remaining stake in the Lakers and arguing that only she understands what is best for the Lakers. Anthony... doesn't quite see it that way. He explains how we got here, where he'd like to go and the question that he keeps running into.

Anthony lays out the painstaking steps taken by all involved to eventually arrive at this clusterbleep in an effort to explain why he doesn't think any of this has ever been about what is best for the Lakers.

The Lakers are mere weeks from training camp. Luka's own minicamp starts in days. Anthony doesn't think dragging out litigation with siblings over the ability to run the team is the move if Jeanie Buss wants to keep telling us all she cares about is what's best for the team.

Anthony and Harrison react to the late shitstorm this summer has put all of us through.
