Lakers Lounge

Anthony has noticed a trend in some of his interactions, where the sense is he and everyone covering the team would criticize anything the Lakers do. He pushes back on that and explains where his concerns come from. He just doesn't see eye-to-eye with how Rob Pelinka views basketball as a sport. Still, even while he and others who cover the team may not love everything the Lakers have done, no one is rooting for them to fail, locally.

Anthony got some info recently about how the Lakers are using their summer league team that he thinks presents these games through a very different prism. He offers up that intel, gives his thoughts on the approach, then dives into a lengthy Q&A with the live audience that (of course) hit on the Jonathan Kuminga situation.

Anthony offers up some info on how the Lakers are using their summer league team to hopefully plug some hole on their actual roster this season.

Anthony breaks down this whole Jonathan Kuminga by outlining which lies various parties are telling, as part of a lengthier Q&A session.

Anthony and Andy hold the second part of their home-and-home conversation (part 1 is on the Locked on Lakers feed). In part one, the guys had discussed Rob Pelinka finally committing to his own basketball ideologies. In this part, they discuss the ways they agree or disagree with that basketball vision.

Anthony and Andy pick up on their conversation (part 1 was on Locked On Lakers) about Rob Pelinka executing a plan he devised years ago. The guys agree this is clearly lined up with Pelinka's basketball vision. They agree this is definitely a plan carried out. What Anthony can't decide is whether he agrees with some key points of the plan.

Anthony and Andy run through the scenario where the Lakers don't wind up with Jonathan Kuminga, then answer a few questions from the live audience.

Before making his way to the airport, Anthony previews the rumbles that will come out of Vegas, then dives into a nice little Q&A with the live audience.

Anthony explains why things tend to get done while everyone is in Las Vegas.

In the final half hour he spends at home, Anthony answers questions from the live audience about, well, all kinds of things -- including his hair.
